Maids, cleaners, janitors, and sanitation workers are all the most important people of civilization by far. Even 12 hours without them is VERY noticable and they simply need to be highly compensated for it
‘Six AM’, 1930 - William Wolfson
Hi, I’m a janitor. The facility I work in had its first floor flooded with sewage and while a restoration company came and sucked up all the water and placed fans everywhere to try the place out, I still cleaned the entire floor and threw away all the contaminated furniture. Same thing happened last year, but only a couple of rooms flooded on that floor and it was only water from a sprinkler system. This year was so much worse and I feel like no one in management gives a shit. The entire upstairs was absolutely going to shit because I was focused on the downstairs. Despite the work I do, I have to beg folks to spread around my little bear commission posts every month because I simply can’t afford to live on what I’m paid lol
So, truly thanks to everyone who makes and shares posts like these recognizing sanitation workers. It’s really a thankless job.
I have been a sheep caretaker for like two days and already I’m like. Wow. I get it.
I get why these were some of the earliest mammals to ever be domesticated. They look up to humans with this sort of dumb but all at once innocent and pure and trusting expression. They’re happy to see you. They follow you around. They like to be rubbed under their chins. Maybe its just some latent Scottish highland shepherd DNA I still have in me but I look at my sheep charges and suddenly I see why the love of God for humanity is so often described as a shepherd and his sheep. I’d fight a wolf for these guys. I’d go way the Hell out of my way for them. I’d carry their young for miles on my own back.
So I found this, I don’t know what to do with it, but it will certainly go in the FOX post. FOX News says Biden let the hurricane hilary into the country
im actually SOBBING this is so funny
joe biden is a storm god
somebody do a shitty jpeg edit of joe biden as a storm god ill love you forever
Universal basic income is essential if we want to build a bright future in the age of automation.
Seriously. The 40-hour work week was codified in 1940, before computers did anything. Per-hour productivity has more than quadrupled since then, but we’re working even harder, to live not all that much better. It’s absurd.
No, it’s not absurd, it’s deliberate. The ruling class wants us to work as hard as possible, so they have profits to skim and pile up.
I’ll reblog this every time I see it: Before the 40 hour work week, we had the 80 hour work week, the 100 hour work week. What got us 40 hours? Unions. Want a work week that reflects productivity levels? Unions. Want UBI? Unions.
wore my thigh high boots on a walk today and we had to take a path through some long grass and while everyone else was rolling their pants into their socks and putting on jackets to protect themselves from ticks i was standing there smug as hell in my thigh high leather boots.
Btw when someone says “don’t talk to me like that, I don’t know you” the normal thing to do is apologize for the perceived overfamiliarity and correct the behavior. Just in case anyone was wondering
Insane to me that this is actually controversial. I’m silencing notes on this one bc I don’t want to see them anymore
everyone hates orange until they actually see her in context. “oh it’s such an ugly color, too bright!” look at sunsets and autumn, look at campfires and deserts. she’s the most beautiful and special part of the scene. now apologize.
Allow me to play the world’s tiniest violin that producing content that MAKES THEM MONEY would slightly inconvenience Amazon in 2025. Bull. Shit.
The strike has nothing to do with this decision. Blaming the talent is a bad look, Amazon.
This is a blatant PR move to try to turn the public against the strike. It’s suits trying to punish us and say it’s the fault of the abused and underpaid workers. It’s manipulative bullshit and we should not let the fuckhead dumbass suits think for one fucking second that it worked.
