In analyzing the sex-class system, feminists are accused of inventing or perpetuating it. Calling attention to it, we are told, insults women by suggesting that they are victims, stupid enough to allow themselves to be victimized. Feminists are accused of being the agents of degradation by postulation that such degradation exists.

Federal workers are going off.
My job was to monitor public land grazing and work with ranchers. I made barely 35k after taxes and was three weeks away from being off probation and getting a raise to a GS-9. I loved my job so fucking much and it was taken from me because of some goddamn rich fuck who has all the money in the world and yet can't make himself look better.
There are feds asking about their life insurance so that they can maybe kill themselves and save their family some financial problem. And my response to all these people is do not kill yourself. Kill the fucking problem instead. This is bullshit and I'll be damned if some rich silver spoon fed motherfuckers get to tell us that we can't do the jobs we love to save their greedy asses another goddamn penny.
We took an oath to uphold the constitution and serve the American people. That means something to me, and Im sure it means something to every other fed who lost their job. I can no longer hold the line of firings from my coworkers, but I can still serve the Constitution and the people of America by fighting back against these oligarchy fascist fucks.
they're canceling low-income housing here to build a cop city FUCK rhode island man

today i had the dubious honor of learning that william wordsworth stole entire passages out of the journals his sister, Dorothy Wordsworth, wrote.
"The Grasmere Journal and Wordsworth's other works revealed how vital she was to her brother's success. William relied on her detailed accounts of nature scenes and borrowed freely from her journals. This passage is clearly brought to mind when reading William's 'Daffodils', where her brother, in this poem of two years later, describes what appears to be the shared experience in the journal as his own solitary observation. Her observations and descriptions have been considered to be as poetic if not more so than those of her brother."
..... and there's still more. So much more.
For anyone interested to look deeper into the topic, here are a few links to good books on this specific form of female erasure:
i was told i should post these, so here are some pokemon team specialties that arent based on type
1. pokemon that start out only knowing one attacking move max but grow up to be worthwhile 2. pokemon that are actually two or more individuals working together as one 3. pokemon that are [at least rumored to be] from space 4. pokemon that were created [deliberately] by humans 5. pokemon that were created [accidentally] by humans 6. pokemon that used to be humans 7. pokemon that hunt humans for sport
by request of no one, have a few more:
8. pokemon that hate your guts. its nothing personal, they just hate all of humanity
9. pokemon that people canonically eat. producers of berries and milk dont count; people actually consume at least some part of these pokemons flesh
10. aka Team “WHO’S A GOOD BOY???”

USA people! Buy NOTHING Feb 28 2025. Not anything. 24 hours. No spending. Buy the day before or after but nothing. NOTHING. February 28 2025. Not gas. Not milk. Not something on a gaming app. Not a penny spent. (Only option in a crisis is local small mom and pop. Nothing. Else.) Promise me. Commit. 1 day. 1 day to scare the shit out of them that they don't get to follow the bullshit executive orders. They don't get to be cowards. If they do, it costs. It costs.
Then, if you can join me for Phase 2. March 7 2025 thtough March 14 2025? No Amazon. None. 1 week. No orders. Not a single item. Not one ebook. Nothing. 1 week. Just 1.

Are you with me?

The Sociological Cinema
People who buy from Amazon aren’t the ones who are trying to sabotage workers’ attempts at unionizing or spying on and firing employees involved in “labor organizing activities at warehouses”.
Wages remaining largely stagnant since the 70s while rent & mortgage rates continue to rise, forcing people to try and scrimp and save in any way they can, including by buying from Walmart or Amazon doesn’t mean consumers are at fault.

I came across an amazingly disturbing number today. Some numbers are more than numbers — they tell stories, that cut across time, and hold the destinies of nations in their hands. This is one of them. This one, in particular, explains how America became a failed state.
This particular number is easy to understand. It goes like this. America’s billionaires now hold so much wealth that it’s now more than 20% of GDP. Let me put that to you more formally, and then I’ll tell you the story of why this number matters so much: America has about 700 billionaires, and collectively, they control about $5 trillion.
Those are just numbers, though. The story they tell is what matters — and it’s a grim, bizarre one of how a nation, even one as rich and powerful as America, can fall into poverty and ruin, and become a failed state.
Why does crossing the line of 20% of GDP matter so much? Well, 20% of GDP is also how much America puts toward public investment. It’s roughly the amount Americans invest in things like healthcare, retirement, schools, education, childcare — all of it.
Billionaires Made America a Poor Country
thing i responded to:
[...]My point still stands. If you get rid of Amazon millions would be out of work unable to feed their families. People who can’t get out and function in stores would also be screwed. Which nobody who’s pro “eat the rich” likes to mention. You’re happy enough to talk about the negative effects of billionaires, but nobody likes to say Amazon is actually a good thing for consumers. So is Uber, so is McDonald so is many other things owned by billionaires. If you care, buy from small businesses, stop buying from chain stores and vote for laws that will make it difficult for billionaires to avoid taxes. Getting rid of the billionaire does nothing, another person will just take their place.
My point still stands. If you get rid of Amazon millions would be out of work unable to feed their families.
The Amazon That Customers Don’t See
“One of the things that’s really fun about working at McDonald’s is to get really fast at all of this stuff,” recounted none other than Jeff Bezos, who spent time in his younger days at the fast food giant. “[I would] see how many eggs you can crack in a period of time and still not get any shell in them.” It proved a fitting start for the career of the future billionaire, as the embrace of wage-slave-misery-as-optimized-skill-building has since become a signature of his business strategy. More than seven-hundred-fifty-thousand people work for Amazon, the vast majority in jobs similarly repetitive to Bezos’s first one, picking and packing orders in fulfillment centers for dispatch to customers. McDonald’s used to be the iconic workplace of last resort, but Amazon fulfillment centers now compete for the title. One Amazon worker was less circumspect about the realities of working such a job, describing his designated fulfillment center as an “existential shithole,” according to Emily Guendelsberger.

‘We Are Watched to Prevent Mass Resistance’: Amazon Workers Discuss Being Spied On
On Tuesday, Motherboard published internal documents, reports, and an online tool confirming their suspicions. The files show that for years Amazon has meticulously tracked Amazon Flex drivers in dozens of closed Facebook groups across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Spain. Amazon corporate employees receive regular reports detailing the posts of its gig workers on Facebook, according to the files left online and viewed by Motherboard. Among other concerns, the tool monitors “planning for any strike or protest against Amazon.”
If we fight to end exploitation, billionaires won’t exist because they cannot if shit is just. Bezos made his money via exploitation.
