The way I'm watching criminal minds and derek fucking morgan (from southside chicago) says "I'd never been to a cabin, much less a lake," like you lived in fucking Chicago on Lake fucking Michigan. Being from the Southside doesn't mean you've never been to the Lake. The City was founded around The Lake. The Lake is a huge fucking thing people go to in the summer. I have no doubts your mother (who worked a lot) just told you and your sisters to go to The Lake during the summer when you were out of school. You've seen a Fucking Lake

Fucks me up jobs expect workers to show up despite wild circumstances. I remember at a former job having to traverse sub zero temperatures just to walk to my job because they refused to close the building. I remember having to work front line in covid as an immune compromised individual with no vaccine produced yet and when concerns were expressed, my superiors responded with "when workers get infected, these parts of the building will be closed". God forbid you lose a family member. You're expected to show up anyway.
Today my boss told me to contact an office to confirm if a doctor has his papers in order. I say: they won't pick up, and he asks why, to which I responded: THEY WERE IN DIRECT LINE OF MILTON, YOU KNOW, THE DEVISTATING HURRICANE PART 2?? WHY WOULD THEY PICK UP???
#fuck capitalism#we work in healthcare. you would think that wellbeing would be at the forefront of concern but NOPE#also: told my boss i had no power because of the storm so i cant work from home#and then he's like: u call the power company? you know the eta of the power company? where u live?#and im like??? girl. hurricane ran through and i aint got power. that should be sufficient enough#was staying somewhere else with fam and power out so i had to uber 45 min back to my house to go to work from home. idk seems excessive#vent tw#anyway the doc office didnt pick up bc of milton reasons. i did call and email at request of le boss but my logic was sound#and confirmed

There will be 100 made; manufacturing is currently underway for the lil guys. I'll be sure to update my kofi with further info about the process as it goes along!

There’s something inside you, it’s hard to explain. Our new version of Nightcall is out now everywhere. ➭ 🎥: angele_vl
[listen now] / [official lyric video]
#kavinsky (dj)#phoenix (band)#angèle#new(s)#video#sourced#the votes are in aaand... people are not impressed lol#(I'll be honest it's definitely capitalizing on the olympics performance to the point of excess but I'm a kav fan and I'm a phoenix fan)#(so uh. take from that what you want. will say though - the key visual is really nice! warren fu always kills it on that front)#(also extremely funny for phoenix/angele to have like. clearly prepared social copy and meanwhile vinco's just posting “song out now lol”)

watching the social zeitgeist flip so quickly from "we are obsessed with spiderpunk and are making or stealing our merch of him, because fuck capitalism" to "barbie has 5000 brand deals and im buying all of them" is really giving me bo burnham "that funny feeling"
#barbie#spider punk#anti capitalism#like for a few moments there we were really all on the same page about anti capitalism#dont get me wrong im excited for the barbie movie#but i think we can enjoy it without going full pink fake plastic excess

i need tumblrinas to explain to me every phrase and term theyve ever heard of dictionary style before they can use it on a post btw bc how is someone essentially saying "if you choose not to work youre morally reprehensible" in any way a leftist, let alone a commie, much less a tankie of all things
#nah bc tankie very specifically is a subset of militant socialists/communists who will defend horrific crimes against humanity#(mainly leninists btw but maoists and such as well) and it's a perjorative term used against those ppl who deny the (excessive) use of#violence in those one party communist regimes like you cant just call anyone u disagree with a tankie youre just gonna sound stupid as hell#like that person is being textbook ableist and buying into the protestant work ethic which is CAPITALIST IN NATURE#like capitalism is Literally based off of that#how r u calling that bitch a tankie then 😭😭😭😭😭 nothing abt that sc implied they were in any way shape or form even remotely#a ''leftist'' with pro soviet views who excuses war crimes in case it helps authoritarian communist regimes#like. 😶??#ling.txt

The reason why I'm so adamant about separating "earning money from your work" from "capitalism" is, firstly, that capitalism spreads the lie that "money = capitalism, so capitalism exists since money was invented and will exist until money fades out", making it look way more universal and strong that it actually is (capitalism is actually a development from 18th century free market ideology meeting freaking colonialism, so it's very recent and has a very spotty past).
But what gets me is that this association of capitalism with money, salaries and trading makes it so every time an artist sees how screwed we all are by this system and denounces it, they lock themselves out of financial support. Everyone start to spew vitriol about how you shouldn't take money since you hate capitalism so much, like the two things are equivalent.
You know what kind of people think that someone asking for payment in exchange for a service is fundamentally greedy, it doesn't matter how reasonable the price is?
Slave. Owners.
They are the ones who think every service should be provided for people who HAVE to work for them whenever they want, however degrading it might be, and for NO PAY WHATSOEVER. And that providing those workers with the bare minimum food and shelter instead of letting them die and buying new slaves is charity.
In every non-slave society, it IS expected that goods and services will be traded for fair rates. Criticizing capitalism has nothing to do with buy or selling things, it has nothing to do with believing that money, or trading, or advertising shouldn't exist. It has to do with criticizing a system that treat workers like uppity slaves that should be happy that they get a ridiculously low salary for brutal hours of work and aren't legally bound 24/7 to the whims of their employer anymore. What more should they want??? After all, if they get more money and free time they will blow it all in drugs and depravities anyway. Hey, y'all, are we sure those people shouldn't be legally bound 24/7 to the whims of their employer? For their own good?
So, by all means. Charge whatever you want to charge (or DON'T charge if you don't want to), buy iPhones, advertize like crazy and criticize capitalism at every single corner. The only ones who are hypocrites when they criticize capitalism are the capitalist themselves.
(And "capitalists" aren't all bosses. Capitalists are bosses who don't have to work. They make their whole living from the profits of other people's work (i.e., the capital). They are people who live from the interest the bank pays for their inheritance money, or from the rent paid by their 5 or more tennants, or from loaning some money to a company - "investing" on it - on a non-limited interest rate, siphoning that company's profits like crazy without ever lifting a finger to make it better. Sometimes, actively making it worse by imposing ridiculous conditions for their loan... *cough* investment. What, you thought interest in investments come from thin air, like magic? It's thinly disguised loan-sharking, my guys.
Your boss that will be broken in the streets if their bakery/youtube channel/print service fails isn't a capitalist, they are just a commoner providing goods and services like you, and they are in for a rude awakening if they think they can get away with acting like the local lord on the long run.)
#art and capitalism#anti capitalism#capitalism#funny how everyone knows how to point you where the bible is stern against gay sex but are silent on the thousands of usury bans#biblical “usury” meaning charging interest in loaning - not EXCESSIVE interest but ANY interest#loaning was supposed to be a favour you do for someone in need and asking interest is profiteering from their hard times#guess which economic system made usury not only legal but is making what is considered 'abusive' usury increasingly higher?#I'll put my tinfoil hat and start yelling that people use the bible to fight against sex things to distract people from how it HATES usury#you have ANY idea how much Jesus criticized rich and greedy people? almost as much as he criticized religious hypocrites#which is A LOT#but you know how many times he criticized poor people?#precisely THREE times and two of those were criticisms of poor people crapping on other poor people#the third one was abstract enough that it's a bit of a stretch to say it's a critic directed towards poorer people#but it's basically Jesus saying that no matter how little you have you can still do good and shouldn't settle for mediocrity and whining

when tina and zeke are in high school and start dating and tina has a phone, she'll have a taco and a fish and the winky kissy emoji next to his name in her contacts
i'm 1,000 percent correct on this
#bob's burgers#tina belcher#zeke whose last name remains undisclosed#tina x zeke#in fact tina uses the winky kissy emoji so much it's a personality trait#like in every other text she sends him#and he thinks it's so cute#i also think tina uses capitalization and correct grammar in her texts#she does on occasion type in all caps with excessive punctuation#meanwhile zeke is like grammar who what's caps lock?#Zekina

Saw Strange World yesterday and can confirm it is Very Good. *mild spoilers*
I loved how it started out hitting me in the nostalgia with the Golden Age comics inspired sequence at the beginning, and then kept that up with a very Jules Verne/Conan Doyle's Lost World feel. They never betrayed this nostalgia, but as the movie went on it started showing cracks in these types of adventure tales and how they present violent exploration positively, and the effects of that.
The complex multigenerational father son dynamics were excellent and nuanced. I loved how they slowly built up the similarities between Yaeger and Searcher, and while they had different methods for it they both engaged in above mentioned violence and environmental destruction.
The messages, especially the environmental and anti-industrialization ones, were certainly not subtle, but I'm ok with that.
And seeing a queer main character in a big screen animated disney movie? I wept.
#strange world#go see this movie please#because the creators obviously put a love and passion into it and it is being deliberately shot in the foot#its no wonder disney hates it when it is clearly pointing at needing to give up the excess of modern capitalism for the sake of the future#emilys fandom thoughts

Is it even possible to buy a pokemon game at a reasonable price anymore?
Even the secondhand ones can be over £50, some are MORE than the recently released ones (which are also overpriced considering the quality imo)
#shut up ray#been scrolling through ebay#endlessly….#managed to find some but if i actually get a single game that works ill be amazed#some ppl were just selling the fucking empty box for over a tenner#which is just ???????????#ITS A CHEAPLY MADE PLASTIC BOX#i wanted a pokemon platinum cartridge but they were like £50 lowest#which is fucking disgusting genuinely to me#only one was new#that game is like 10yrs old? maybe a lil older#but its not a fucking hand-made antique art piece fml#its a fucking video game mass-produced by a corporate thing#a thing that now produces overpriced crap#i just OUGH fuck offfffff#i have my opinions on pokemon cards being excessively pricey#but atleast they are just collectable crap#imagine me selling my fucking old pokemon games for £70 id feel like a fucking lunatic#it wasnt even that much when it was first released but now its be worn down by use?#fuck capitalism

Crying screaming throwing up how do you know people's typing styles so good?????
it's like recognizing bits of how they talk, or their tone of voice, or their artstyle, for example. sort of like a signature- it's distinct and somewhat identifying. some people type like they talk, and some don't! most identifying things that distinguish one person's typing style from another is usually their usage of things like punctuation and capitalization, as well as the expressions and sayings they use. certain things about how/what people type stick out to me more than others. my specific typing style changes from time to time, because on one hand i am a huge freak when it comes to grammar, but on the other, i am a very emotional and expressive person when it comes to my interests/friends.
#shingetsu online#ask hugh#anonymous#from this specific anon's typing style [comma] the things that stick out to me the most are the excessive question marks#and the usage of “crying screaming throwing up”. the capitalized 'C' at the beginning sticks out as well. same goes for the extra space.#this was probably sent in a hurry due to the extra space still remaining and the capital c being a sign of autocorrect though anon#could have just been typing quickly as a normal thing..#regardless this anon's typing style reminds me of winona's!!
