This whole scene is important ,Craig’s parents are now one of the best parents in animation always checking if their childrens are having problems and also Craig saying how is hard to be in a new class
i pour alphabet soup in a bowl and the letters rearrange to read ‘TRYING TO FIX OTHER PEOPLE WITHOUT EVER OPENING YOUR HEART TO VULNERABILITY ISNT AN ADEQUATE SUBSTITUTE FOR GENUINE CONNECTION’
halfway through microwaving i stir the soup to redistribute the heat and now it reads ‘ITS EASIER TO USE DIFFICULT REALISATIONS ABOUT YOURSELF TO CREATE IRONIC PIECES OF PSEUDO-ART THAN IT IS TO ACTUALLY CHANGE THE WAY YOU LIVE TO ACCOMMODATE THEM’
Barry Vingerling, 25, was “was banned by the Anne Frank House as employees were not allowed to wear Jewish symbols.”
It is so fucking vile that a museum dedicated to a little girl who died with her family because of violent antisemitism won’t even let a Jewish man wear a kippah. This museum, wear Vingerling should have felt safe to express himself and his faith, is perpetuating in the same kind of hate that it should be fighting against.
A comic I made for the Outo Queer Identities book (made with @sarasade)
I just had to do the page 5 after finishing pages 1-4 because the comic really felt like it needed an explanation. And BOY DO I LOVE MY EX-HUSBAND! He’s my best friend now. This is how not to be a transphobe.
this may be an Unpopular Opinion (even on tumblr) but like the 8-hour workday is just Too Gotdamn Long
like even sitting in an office for eight hours a day isn’t particularly pleasant (or healthy, as we are beginning to see) but when we’re talking about doing *actual work* for that same amount time it gets pretty fucking brutal
doing literally *anything* (even leisure activities) for eight hours straight tends to be less than enjoyable but when we’re talking about things like construction, landscaping, factory work, and hell, even foodservice and retail, eight hours is a fucking ETERNITY
i might just be a lazy weak-willed bitch but honestly i think i’m not entirely wrong
this was being worked towards by leftist labor unions way back in the day after the time of FDRs new deal. people in the 40s and 50s were already starting to realize that we no longer actually needed an 8 hour work day or even a 5 day work week.
even with the comparatively primitive factory tech of the time we were already creating a huge amount of excess production back then and companies were making massive amounts of profit. So it already stood to reason that companies should either let their employees work less and thus each employee could work a shorter shift without lowering the yearly compensation of each employee, or in cases where businesses provide an active service they would shorten the shift but hire more people to cover the necessary operating time. but of course that would mean less money for people at the top so companies fought back hard and we ended up with nixon’s bullshit and so on and now its considered the norm for us to spend the vast majority of our lives doing work that really just amounts to waste.
The IWW realised this and were fighting for it all the way back in the 1930s. This is a take with a lot of historical and theoretical grounding, OP, so you’re standing in good stead.
I’d also like to add it’s also been studied and scientifically proven that after 6 hours, we have an extremely noticeable drop in productivity. Sweden saw nothing but benefits from a 6-hour work day, including worker productivity, happiness, and half the amount of sick-leave used when applied to nurses.
A Florida man was murdered early Sunday morning defending his gay friends from a drunk homophobe who followed them out of the restaurant where they were eating.
Multiple witnesses reported that the killer came after the group and shouted, “If we were in my country I’d kill all of you like rats. I hate you damned gays. I’m going to kill you all here.”
The victim, 22-year-old Juan Javier Cruz , was shot dead with a handgun Mena pulled from his pocket after defending his friends.
This is not right that people have to die just because homophobia is flourishing in America.
On the anniversary of his death we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a brilliant orator and hero who dedicated his life to the fight for civil rights. Celebrate Dr. King’s legacy by learning how six bold women were influenced by his actions, driving change and making history in their own right.
