"5,000 STEEL WORKERS AT SOO VOTE STRIKE; 5,000 OUT AT SYDNEY," Toronto Star. January 13, 1943. Page 1. ---- Large Part of Canada's Steel Comes From Two Plants Involved - Soo Workers to Walk Out Tomorrow, Meeting Votes - Conciliations on Way ----- REJECT REPORT OF COMMISSIONERS, ADVISING AGAINST RAISE IN WAGES ---- By H. R. ARMSTRONG Ottawa, Jan. 13 - Faced with probable tle-up of half of Canada's vital war steel production, federal authorities today are striving to end the strike of 5,000 steel workers at Sydney, N.S., and prevent 5,000 more walking out at Sault Ste. Marie, tomorrow.

The federal government must either stand pat and fight the issue out with the United Steel Workers of America, a C.I.O. affiliate, or permit increases in wages which might threaten the whole fabric of Canada's anti-inflation policy, largely based on wages and prices ceilings.

There is no sign that any immediate concessions will be made by the government for part abandonment of the wage control law, though some compromise may develop from negotiations now being pressed with all possible speed.

The strike situation was discussed in cabinet yesterday and may go before the war committee of the government again today. Dominion government authorities make no secret of the fact that any prolonged steel strike will seriously curtail many of Canada's war industrial output. Shipbuilding. munition manufacturing and other departments of war production are largely dependent on Canadian-made steel.

Vote to Strike Tomorrow at Soo Work at two of Canada's three primary steel producing plants to-day appeared likely to stop as 5.000 employees at the Algoma Steel Corporation at Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., prepared to join 5,000 Sydney, N.S., steel workers in a strike. The object is to enforce demands for wage increases.

Members of the Sault local of the United Steel Workers of America (C.I.O.) voted almost unanimously. to call a strike at 7 a.m. E.D.T Thursday, with 24 hours' notice to management when their picket lines would form.

Calling it classist not to like popular and not well-written books is annoying as fuck considering the cost of new books. I monitor kindle sales and have an everand subscription (which still limits the amount I read) if I want to read contemporary. Kindle Unlimited is also way more expensive than Everand for imo, less quality. No, I cannot simply go to the library either due to the lack of them in my country. Seeing this discourse again and again over the years really grinds my gears.

I literally read classics in the public domain when I don’t have money to buy books. Getting an ereader saved me so much money because there is plenty of good books in the public domain. Many of them aren’t that difficult to read either. Plus, if you’re not from the us which has draconian copyright terms, many modern classics are in the public domain like Animal Farm, 1984 (or if you’re in a country with life+50 copyright The Bell Jar or The Haunting of Hill House).

Reading quality books literally has never been easier, cheaper, or more accessible. You can read whatever you like but kindly do not frame reading whatever booktok book you like as an accessibility or class thing.

Just a reminder to my new cotl followers: bishippers are safe here. Do I ship any of it? nope. But I personally could not give a single fuck if someone that follows me or if I follow someone that does.

The melancholic, slow music as Dabi mulls over the fact that even in the great final battle, he wasn't enough for Endeavor to face him himself. Instead he sends Touyas replacement and his sidekicks. Even screaming at the world and setting it on fire wasn't enough to make that son of a bitch coward face the consequences of his actions and inaction. I'm clawing my face off crying

I personally can’t wait for the nasty eventual breakup. There is no way Travis the loudmouth is going to stick to whatever NDA he had to sign. Taylor is going to drop a brand new album in a hurry filled with more of her foreign sweatshop knockoff quality “music.” And swifties are going to go insane over losing “father” and how he wasn’t good enough for “mother” anyway, and trying to do deep reads of all the new lyrics which will be no deeper than an evaporated puddle.

I had to actually research a bit to understand the entirety of the ask because I'm very much not invested in the life of celebrities

Can't really wish heartbreak on her regardless of my opinion of her music

I can agree that I've never understood the appeal of her love songs which are all thematically similar and juxtaposed on a repeating track.

Nothing stands out for me with regards to the music, lyrics or voice - they're fine ? But there are so many indie / small artists that offer a much more interesting experience. And since someone mentioned that a particular art piece cannot be better than another because art is subjective - I agree, but skill can be quantified by musicians, producers and most people with a good ear. An artist can be "good" without being technically skilled as long as they have an audience.

I'm not opposed to people liking Swift, I just don't understand the refusal of her fans to accept she might not be the best thing since sliced bread and that some of her teams practices in the music industry are not exactly morally sound

So, does the species of the one who became a blueberry affect the taste of the juice? Like, would the taste of a human blueberry be different from the taste of a witch blueberry?

It's easy for me to imagine how Odalia kidnaps Luz after their first meeting and starts selling "Human Blueberry Juice", which is squeezed out of Blueberry Luz with a special juicer made by Alador. And no one can save Luz because she doesn't have the witch-demon rights. Because of this, squeezing the juice out of Luz is as legal as milking cows in the human realm.

And Titan forbid Odalia to find out that King is a Titan. Because then Luz will have company.

Ohohoh, this is a good one! I love it so much. Luz being held captive and endlessly juiced every day, unable to do anything about it... 'course, she's so juice-brained that she barely wants to leave. No matter how hard her friends try to save her, there's just no point. She's just a big blueberry cow now. All she can do is moan and whine and beg for more~

King better watch out, though >:3
