“The transformation of concrete labors into abstract labor renders the labor into something akin to the notorious pink goo or pink slime that industrial, processed meat now contains,” the scholar McKenzie Wark wrote. On the ground, the work of girls is being mined for profit in concrete ways: As India becomes a hub for tech manufacturing, Apple contractors like Foxconn and Tata Group are working hard to recruit more women workers as contract labor for their iPhone assembly plants. As many as 85 percent of factory workers in India working for such Apple contractors are women. While contract work is precarious and doesn’t include benefits, companies like Foxconn offer free food, housing, and transportation. The last time these subcontractors rushed to hire hoards of new workers, over 250 workers fell sick due to tainted food, triggering protests and factory shutdowns. According to Reuters, Foxconn told Indian state officials that it had “ramped up production too quickly” ahead of the iPhone 13 launch. By the time the Apple icon turns up on your screen, the device has already been shaped by the hands of women hard at work. When creating and sharing ourselves through the internet, we become enmeshed in the abstract labor of being a girl online. If we extrude ourselves through the filters and hashtags, we come out the other side as a sludge of marketable microtrends, aesthetics, subcultures, and niche celebrities — our own version of the notorious pink goo.

—extra random (literally) post today but: I was looking for details on Ross Duffer and his wife Leigh Janiak (to see if/how he ever took inspiration from her work on Fear Street or other projects she's done) and found….basically an architectural/design magazine piece on the redesign they did on their house in LA?

—I may be a Matt fan when it comes to personality in interviews, but…these two have TASTE lmao. This is right up there with David Harbour's NYC apartment for me in terms of design aesthetics. The combonation of clean lines with whimsy & color is just *chefs kiss*

...still looking for the Leigh / Ross professional commentary tho lmfao
