The lack of a basic living wage where i can go and take me and a friend out to go eat at a restaurant or just go spend a few bucks to fuck around somewhere, without it crippling me financially, is bullshit, and i hate capitalism

#work reform #ik the first part isn't the original phase #but the wealth disparity is even worse than it used to be #and this has alitterstion and also rhymes #but yeah supervisor decided that all of a sudden I need to me micro managed even tho I'm the best in my area #I've already been fed up but with no car and no degree my options are limited #yesterday was just super bad #and i ended up venting a bit to the cashier at nearby petstore #cause she's retail she understands the woes #she mentioned they're hiring #I remember looking uo wages prior and they weren't the best #and so I brought it up #but she was like 'yeah our minimums 15 :(v #well fuck me because I get paid FOURTEEN AN HOUR #so that's still a fucking raise #and instead of working for a dying clothing store #I at least get to work for animals

Exactly 14 years ago today—on July 24, 2009—the minimum wage was set at $7.25 while top 1% were worth $5T. Today, billionaire wealth is $45T+, meanwhile the min wage is still $7.25. This is what generational wage theft looks like. Pay workers. Tax billionaires. #RaiseTheWage

What if I smashed Jacob frey to death with a hammer. What if I killed him and then threw him in the Mississippi

#he's doing this so people are like omg he's so relatable... #we have virtually NO police reform cop raids on tent cities are weekly if not DAILY #theres huge disparities in quality of life and wages #and yet he does shit like this and local newspapers ask 'who DOES hir hair? 😍' #anyways im gonna kill him. w my bare hands. #*his

[yugotrash]

dont cancel me for it but i think i like this current wave of russian émigrés in belgrade even less than the previous one

#for full comprehension of the joke please research: #1) history of russian emigration post-1917 #2) the russian émigré community in interwar Yugoslavia #3) the translation history of a certain russian pamphlet first published circa 1903 #4) the disparity in purchasing power between IT employees in Russia and median wage earners in Serbia

Steve, Robin, and Jonathan for 8

#8: share a car with, share a bank account with, share a cake with

Car: Steve... I cannot legally drive a car and he needs to take me places so by share it I mean: we are constantly sharing a car ride. Not the physical car-- although I can be his mechanic so. In that way we are sharing the car as well.

Bank Account: I was going to say Jonathan but you know what??? ROBIN. She works! And she's in high school though so what expenses does she have?? We're both just stockpiling some cash and then we'll all just get an apt with Steve (see above bc of transportation: gays who can't drive. We love wlw and mlm solidarity thank you very much) and everything will be financially normal and fine. I would trust Robin with my hard-earned cash.

Cake: Jonathan... Honey, dearest, my beloved... We are getting so stoned and eating a cake together. No euphemisms. Just like. A grocery store bakery sheet cake. Chocolate cake, vanilla buttercream frosting. Bring your own fork.

'Nother dream journal

This one was much more mundane than the other ones I've had of late. It felt as though I was simply watching a movie, which is a very natural feeling for me when dreaming, as I dream in very filmic terms. I don't know anyone else that has been able to determine this, but I actually dream in 24 frames a second. This is the standard framerate at which movies and TV are shot and anything not shot at this speed looks VERY different. I think owing to how many movies and TV I watched at a formative age this has influenced how my subconscious views things. But I digress.

The dream began with a story that felt familiar, but definitely wasn't any one that I can recall actually existing. It was about a space ship that had to slowly make its way back to civilization, because the faster than light drive was damaged and it had to travel at non relativistic speeds. Some great disaster had happened, but nobody went into exactly what. It also meant that they had lost communications, the ship was in very poor shape and nearly all of the human crew had been killed.

The sole remaining human (who my brain decided had to be played by Mara Wilson, but when she was still a kid) could not actually survive the trip back because there was not nearly enough supplies. So she had to spend most of the time in cryo-stasis, and would only be woken if something happened that needed human intervention. Eventually this meant that while still having a childlike appearance she was in fact centuries old, and had a great deal more experience than most humans ever will. One of the ships robots even joked that once they got back to Earth, she might replace worker robots if they could clone her. She had the ability to pilot the ship, navigate star charts, manufacture replacement parts from scrap, debug programming issues, and all other manner of extremely useful skills.

There was no satisfying conclusion to this narrative, unfortunately. My mind eventually decided that it wanted to do something else, and then started showing me an altered version of Alien³. It was much the same as the movie originally was, but only to a point. I've not actually seen that movie all the way through. I watched it to about the halfway point, and then had to leave to do something else and so never saw the third act. Knowing its infamy and the fandoms low opinion of it however, the version that played out in my dream was a stilted, awkward, tropey mess. The largest change was that Charles Dance's character became the protagonist in this version, and understandably the tone was entirely different than any of movies in the series. It had stopped feeling like a horror movie and felt almost like it was one of the Micheal Bay Transformers movies.

In any case, I still didn't get to see how it ended, as I woke up before it could reach any conclusion.

#subconscious conversation #personal #there is definitely some parallels to the first story and my own life believe it or not #I was also forced to grow up at a very early age because I nearly lost both of my parents in separate events before I was 7 #and that I have also accumulated a wide and disparate set of practical skills through jobs I have had and my own interests #and my level of competence is shocking to people who are just getting to know me #when I was working at a temp agency I was frequently told ''you're much better at this than any of the people we normally get'' #which was cold comfort as I the wages were terrible and it never led to actual employment

okay but where is the love for academic style writing as an emotional and creative outlet. as a form of expression. as a means of being understood. where. yes, i cope via poetry writing more often than i'd care to admit. but to this day the only people that appreciate my ability to crank out an earth shattering view shifting informative/persuasive toned research paper (10+ pages, 12pt font, double spaced, 5+ page bibliography) is offensively short. like two english/writing professors and my fiance. i'm furious right now. im pissed at the world. im seething. so im fleshing out a topic and slowly chiseling out a thesis. i have 18 researchgate tabs open. i need to be understood on a fundamentally factual and evidence based level so i will simply be writing out an incredibly complex and well composed formal research essay that i will be forcing people to read. this will take me at lest 2 weeks. no one can stop me. i have only gotten worse as i've aged.

#yall better count your blessing that i no longer have statistics and their source references memorized #for the things i was passionately upset about #my english 101 prof had us handwrite all of our essays in class #and day 1 she almost shit her pants when i asked if i needed to cite my sources for a statistic #bc we were using pen and paper and were not supposed to be on our phones or computers #the answer was no. she fact checked me. i was right. #i had a lot of feelings about the gender based pay gap and wage disparities on the USWNT in 2016 okay #im going to stop talking about this now i have a very niche paper to write for no reason i guess
