if i see a single one of you pissed that your faves canceled an event or a con appearance because they're striking for fair wages then imma come for you in your sleep 🔪🔪🔪
(direct that fury where it belongs: AMPTP and the execs)
#sag aftra#sagaftra#sag aftra strong#sag aftra strike#union strong#wga strike#PAY THE FUCKING ACTORS AND WRITERS#i hope the execs lose EVERYTHING#sag strike#sag-aftra#(BY THE WAY I'VE MADE A MINOR EDIT ON THE ORIGINAL POST)#in case you're confused: BE PISSED OFF. BUT DIRECT IT AT AMPTP AND THE EXECS.#if you don't get to see your fave at an event or a con? IT IS NOT THE UNION'S FAULT. IT IS THE FAULT OF THE EXECS#AMPTP AND THE EXECS ARE REFUSINGS TO NEGOTIATE IN GOOD FAITH AND ARE REFUSING TO PAY ACTORS AND WRITERS FAIRLY#SUPPORT THE WGA AND SAG STRIKE#if that means you can't see them at a con? then take the money you were gonna spend on that con and donate it#to the entertainment community fund#DIRECT YOUR ANGER WHERE IT BELONGS#WHICH IS AT AMPTP AND THE GREEDY PIECE OF SHIT EXECS#another edit: i forgot to add alt text which is my bad. I HAVE CORRECTED THAT.

what do you do when it's 1600, you just gained independence a few years ago and now you're at war with this guy but you end up going to bed with him half of the time?
if tumblr deletes this!! oopsies??? anyways
#hetalia#hws netherlands#hws portugal#nedport#didi art#i'm gonna ramble in the tags#i think during the dutch-portuguese war while they were doing nation stuff they also ended up getting involved#and i can't blame abel... meu puto joão is beautiful#but i do think that abel is quite inexperienced with almost everything#he just gained independence from spain a few years ago. left his sister with a guy he despises and basically has the world in his hands#but he has barely any experience for stuff not related to being a nation#and joão is tied to antonio still and will remain like that for a few decades more#he already has the world but he doesn't have the same freedom he had before the iberian union#idk .. idk.... they're crazy#aph netherlands#aph portugal#cw suggestive#??#i mean it's quite clear what's going on i'm not suggesting anything

Just finished the fourth novella, someone hold me. Technically I know Murderbot prefers big jackets and tshirts, but I'm deliberately ignoring that in favour of silly anime outfits that expose its arms. The text is secondary to serving CUNT
#murderbot#murderbot diaries#murderbot fanart#secunit#secunit:i would never wear a hat while on the run because that will make me too obvious#me: WELL NOW YOU SAY THAT#'union man' chilchuck and 'construct rights' murderbot are my working class heroes#also murderbots whole thing about being happy everytime it gets to sit in the presence of humans/ being able to talk back to them#murderbot I SEE YOU#it's the rage of being treated as subhuman because you're (working a minimum wage job) a clone robot hybrid#anyway im gonna go play einheitsfrontlied

what does it mean when people say stuff like individual morality or action is incompatible with class analysis or class struggle?
alright so like one of the key ideas about class analysis is the idea that classes (as a whole) have economic interests that affect all their members but don't extrapolate out to an individual analysis.
for example, let's say that you can't find a job, and somebody offers to pay you below the table for below minimum wage. it's in your individual interest to do this--it beats having no job! but as a member of the working class, once this practice becomes normalized, suddenly the standards of pay for everyone are lower because people know that they can just pay less than minimum wage under the table. competition between workers for jobs drives wages down for everyone, leaving them all in a worse situation overall even if each individual choice to scab, to accept lower pay, to resist unionization, etc, leaves the person who makes it better off. cf. karl marx on what happens when wages and working conditions deteriorate:
The labourer seeks to maintain the total of his wages for a given time by performing more labour, either by working a great number of hours, or by accomplishing more in the same number of hours. Thus, urged on by want, he himself multiplies the disastrous effects of division of labour. The result is: the more he works, the less wages he receives. And for this simple reason: the more he works, the more he competes against his fellow workmen, the more he compels them to compete against him, and to offer themselves on the same wretched conditions as he does; so that, in the last analysis, he competes against himself as a member of the working class.
— Karl Marx, Wage Labour & Capital
similarly, any individual member of the working class is completely dispensable and replaceable by capital. if one person refuses to work unless they're paid a higher wage, they'll be fired and replaced with somebody who doesn't. the individual worker has no economic leverage whatsoever. but the working class has incredible economic leverage! and so does the intermediate stage between the working class and the individual--organized segments of the working class (e.g. trade unions) have economic leverage. if one person strikes, the capitalist can fire them. if 40,000 people strike, your industry is going to shut down.
so the reason why class analysis is compatible with individual action is that your incentives measurably change when you start organizing--it's in the interests of the individual to compete, but in the interests of the class to cooperate. and obviously you cannot just expect everyone to spontaneously coordinate! you, the individual, are disposable to capital! if you, personally, refuse to take the under-the-table offer, either on moral grounds or because you recognize your class interest, your neighbour's going to take it--unless you and her get together and agree that neither of you will take it. that's the only way that the guy making the offer is going to have to give in and offer the job for a living wage.
and this is what organization is--trade unions (although they have severe limitations!), communist parties, and other worker's organizations allow the working class to pursue their collective interest--which can only be pursued by collective action, because engaging in the strategies of collective action as an individual, without the cooperation of your peers, is high risk for no reward.
#ask#marxism#the effects of electoral politics are far far more limited in scope than trade union activity but the same holds for voting#which is what the original post i was responding to was about#if you 'vote blue no matter who' then the bourgeois party you're showing loyalty to--#--will have no reason whatsoever to even marginally offer to improve your life#and if you as a solitary individual tell joe biden 'well im not voting for you unless you promise so and so social democratic reforms'#he is gonna be like lol lmao dont care#while if you and your several thousand friends all get together and say that#he will at least be obligated to pretend to care before immediately reneging on it bc he ultimately serves capital

new crackpot theory: empires is gonna end right as doc finishes whatever the fuck this is gonna be, the emperors cross back over, all of them get killed by gem and die permanently, and then hermitcraft season 9 continues like nothing ever happened until decked out 2 inevitably becomes sentient and starts killing people for fun by its own hand. Then Scott Smajor and Sausage walk onto a big stage shirtless with Snoop Dogg also there, both holding the gay flag, and kiss
#ray's tag#mcyt#empires smp#hermitcraft#this is one of those posts that's gonna get 1000 notes or more. I'm calling it now. I'm resigned to my fate.#come at me bitch#also if pixlriffs doesnt make this post canon i'm unionizing (JOKING) (NOT SERIOUS)

Sometimes caring So Much feels like a curse in this cruel world. but sometimes it allows me to connect with other people who also care A Lot and together we actually are able to make a difference. And that is literally the best feeling in the entire world.
#i'm just some woman with a committee addiction. pay it no mind.#This is a post about an injustice you've probably never heard of. it reflects larger injustices but this particular one impacts <100 ppl#A few weeks ago i realised that if i couldn't do something about this one...it would change me forever.#I couldn't not TRY to do something. Obviously. but also if my efforts had no impact? it would ruin my life. a bit.#after weeks of teeth gritting work and looking into several more weeks of it to come I'm going to take a moment to pause and say:#we're getting somewhere. we're really getting somewhere.#ugh i sound so dramatic. I guess it is dramatic. but w/e#im not gonna talk about local politics & organising because im not an idiot#but the siren call of posting ...!#causes me to say vague shit that sounds so much more dramatic than if I just. told u what im up to.#most of which is having hour long phone conversations with my mother where one of us is crying#and sending lots of texts#and BEING IN A UNION. EVERYONE JOIN A UNION.#me fein

have we considered: jean moreau having crushes on both kevin AND thea and being just the worst about it as he passes their notes back and forth anyway. they’re just like Man he’s a little more bitchy than usual. must be riko. meanwhile he’s just mad he has feelings
ANON DO YOU LIVE IN MY WALLS i was just talking about this i think jean and thea having a thinly veiled sexual tension-boosted rivalry is so fucking good. like it starts with this awareness that they're both into kevin and also have a very similar place in the ravens so obviously they're competitive as fuck with each other. and the longer it happens the more it's obvious it's all a very elaborate scheme to avoid admitting they have a Situation going on. i honest to god can see kevin suggesting that jean and thea hook up completely straight-faced and casual and they both are like HOW DARE YOU and SHUT UP KEVIN and YOU DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT YOURE TALKING ABOUT but it plants that seed in their head. you understand. its there.
the boy is mine by brady if it ended in a threesome. do you get it.
jean: excuse me can i talk to you for a minute
thea: uh huh sure you know you look kind of familiar
jean: yeah you do too. but i just wanted to know do you know somebody named-? you know his name.
thea: oh yeah definitely i know his name. and i just want to let you know he's mine
(furious making out)
#theyre gonna be so pissed off kevin 'wretched bitch' day was right#i can see them taking it to the grave just to never let kevin know he was right#but theyd want to do it again so probably not.#also i think kevjeanthea is very kevthea like Dated a french boy and broke his heart. this is for (homeland)#YOU KNOW#thea: dated a french boy and broke his heart this is for camaroon#kevin: dated a french boy and broke his heart this is for the indochinese union#YOU KNOW you do know right#get his white ass#asks#kevin#jean#kevjeadora

Usually I don’t talk about real world stuff here but the fact that Starbucks is doing a collaboration with Stanley cups to get out of being boycotted is bad enough. What’s worse is that it’s fucking working why are these being sold out in minutes
#capitalizing on the consumerism of American society almost like the market was explicitly designed that way#I’m gonna be so real Stanley cups aren’t even good they spill so much#in case you didn’t know I support Palestine btw#And unions#I don’t talk about it often online because I get too heated#real world stuff

gamers I love unions and everything but Uh Oh. UH OH. Canada post just voted YES to strike literally 2 weeks before my contract with them is supposed to start. They all may walk out as soon as Nov 3rd and my contract starts on Nov 17th ;-;
Like again I’m definitely ALL for unions but!! Uh oh!! My fucking JOB!!! They may strike for longer than my contract even lasts and since I’m part time and wouldn’t have received a pay check at that point I don’t think I’d receive anything from the union fund (which is okay because I wouldn’t feel right taking from it anyway)
I’m hoping the government is gonna bend quickly because of the holiday season but with how profitable Amazon is over the post office I kindaaa think they’re gonna drag it out and test their luck. Which is :(
Fucking MAN.
#apparently college teachers voted yes to strike too but my teacher said it would take a little while for them to actually get a strike to#happen. so I MAY be okay. but now I’m seriously worried about my hours#I’m in plant operations and I’m not super sure how unions work so I’m not sure if that’ll be disrupted? cuz I’ve heard it’s like certain#areas of Canada that strike at a time so people don’t. like. fucking die.#BUT I DONT KNOW THIS IS MY FIRST JOB AND MY FIRST UNION#AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA#;-;#i guess I’ll have to wait to see what happens but fucking I hate when things start looking up and then BAMMMMMMMM right back down it goes#again I love unions they’re 👍👍 power to the people but like. I’m gonna be devestated#serenade posts

seriously I'm so tired of netflix releasing half seasons and also the 8 episode run becoming the norm. like awwww did the studios not like when the mean scary unions asked for better working terms and better pay for the kind of production level they wanted and now they're hemorrhaging cash even more than usual because they didn't respect their work force enough to listen to them in the first place and now they're shooting their consumer base in the foot by- on top of a million changes that are going to hurt their subscription numbers unequivocally in the long run- short change the consumer for an incomplete product that they have to release in sections because their instant binge release schedule was not sustainable as a business model??? awwwwww pooor babyyyyyy get FUCKED.
#I think the whole industry needs a change of the fucking guard at this point because it's really getting ridiculous#like seriously you can't even produce a show that is up to par with its own previous seasons because like what??? the unions exposed how#horrible your practice of releasing seasons wholesale really was and now it's catching up to you?#it's funny because networks like AMC and HBO (as a removed entity from MAX) still produce weekly serials and they're fine gonna be fine for#a while. but YOU netflix YOU need to figure your shit out son#all you have going for you rn is DM and THATS BECAUSE IT'S A WEEKLY RELEASE!!! you NINNY!!!

ngl gang I finished both my dissociation fixation games and got a rejection letter for a job I was a shoe-in for after a month-long, three-pronged review/interview process and I am not having a great time
#finishing dredge's dlcs and dave the diver within the same week was a mistake#where am I gonna find another free chill game to dissolve into#at least daima's coming out friday that'll cure me probably#lays on the floor I am so so grateful for freelance and commissions I truly cannot overstate that#but I haven't had full-time work for what I actually do for a living in Nineteen Months because of stupid ass corporate greed#Ninteen Months of telling myself I'm still a member of this industry despite. No work.#And this rejection letter was for a fraction of what I do for a living. I got told they were very impressed and also I did not get the job.#Idk man like idek what it is I do for a living anymore bc I don't have a living anymore#I've been a member of my union for *four years* and I don't have a living anymore lol#anyway. /vent /negativity etc you get it#I've got stuff I need to work on and I'm beyond grateful for that. I'm just bummed out. I was so close to being okay again.#THIS CLOSE to having some semblance of stability.#icb I got scruffed an inch from the finish line on something that by all accounts I should've been overqualified to do#And both Ganondorf and Vegeta continue to be relatable and so real for having exhausted rage-induced breakdowns over that exact thing lol
