was on a picket line today! i had a lot of time to really contemplate whether our chants were good life advice to distract myself from the fact that "the people united will never be defeated" does not rhyme, and is an insult to the original "el pueblo unido jamás será vencido"

anyway here are my top 4 union chants to internalize:

they don't like us // we don't care

yes. absolutely. don't place your self-value in other people's approval, an evergreen message.

when [x] is under attack, what do we do? // stand up fight back!

many of us did not have good rhythm, and no chant is better at highlighting that particular deficit than this one. it has a pickup, love it! almost as much as we love to defend our rights and the rights of the people we love :)

we feel good, we feel fine, when you don't cross picket lines

this one brings a fun guilt trip energy to your workplace. :( don't cross :( we'll feel sad :( :( (it was not particularly effective)

fuck you // pay us

satisfying.

This lawyer sent me back a “revised” version of an agreement I wrote and she completely rewrote it in ways that make no sense? And somehow turned it from a modern docx to a windows 98 doc?????

And I wouldn’t really care if she just said, hey this agreement doesn’t work for me because X, Y and Z but instead to just say she’s “amended it per the client’s wishes” when the client’s wishes are below in the email chain and don’t say anything like what you’re saying? Just tell me you’ve changed things and why

Honestly why the fuck did I waste my time writing an agreement if you were just going to use your own precedent. Insane behaviour on a non-contentious file

I'm sorry they WHAT

From the BBC:

Jeffrey Piccolo filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Disney and the owners of a restaurant after his wife died in 2023 from a severe allergic reaction after eating at the theme park...the restaurant did not take enough care over his wife's severe allergies to dairy and nuts, despite being repeatedly told about them.

Disney wants the case in the courts to be halted, and for the dispute to be resolved out of court, in a process called arbitration.

The entertainment company argues it cannot be taken to court because, in its terms of use, it says users agree to settle any disputes with the company via arbitration.

It says Mr Piccolo agreed to these terms of use when he signed up to a one month free trial of its streaming service, Disney+, in 2019.

I regret to inform you that Discord's new Terms of Service includes an arbitration clause. You can find it here https://discord.com/terms/#16. This clause includes an opt-out, which I have transcribed here:

You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com within 30 days of April 15, 2024 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Discord also will not be bound by them.

These clauses are underhanded ways that corporations seek to deprive you of your right to participate in class-action lawsuits and your right to a jury trial. (This does only apply to us users ,other people still spread the word though )

Setting up a fitbit I got for Christmas, and actually read all the various "I agree to sell my soul to..." stuff. Amazingly, you can opt-out of forced arbitration with Google!

For one device at a time.

If you request it within 30 days of first starting it up.

And can get the link to work, which took a couple of tries.

Oh, and don't forget that you'll need the serial number (fortunately I had the box still, since google did not tell me to look in the right place for it).

So it does take some work, but maybe a bit less than I expected, and I'm kinda amazed that it's an option in the first place.
