can we have context about the coyote yip

I don't think context is gonna help you here, but ok.

I was interviewing for the only available education job on the island I'd just moved to & the executive director asked me to "join them in a coyote yip" to "close the circle" (the circle being the zoom call interview) because, and I swear to god this is a direct quote,

"I've found that if we don't close a circle we've opened together, we might appear in each other's dreams. and I don't know you well enough for that yet. 😉"

I worked there for about 6 months and it did not get any less weird.

VOTING 2024

This boomer opinion that "my kids deserve no inheritance, I'm going to spend it all on jetskis and cruises, they should just work hard like I did uwu" is so funny to me because this is the same generation who'll constantly berate the childfree about "leaving behind a legacy" and it turns out the legacy these boomers are leaving behind is their children struggling with lifelong poverty during the worst financial times since The Great Depression, something that their own parents went through and subsequently left these boomers an inheritance so as to avoid.

Republicans are going after Harris on inflation cause for the most part Biden recovered th economy which is incredible given he did it during and after a global pandemic which crippled the global economy. Not only that it's due to parasitic corporations and landlords we're in a cost of living crisis, which of course the Republicans don't care about, I mean why bother about that when you can lose your shit over abortion or trans people? Kamala Harris needs to pursue a harder stance against corporations and ensure that cost of living goes down, sure her winning hampers Project 2025 but she needs to be more than a political barrier against Republicans. Inflation won't go down because majority of the time it's merely greedy corporations jacking up prices and blaming it on nebulous market forces, they want you to hate the system and not the player but lucky for me I have enough hate for both.

[worstloki]

people just ignore Thor was a feral child, huh? like his life goal was probably to demolish another race at age 12 and he was probably begging to go to war and attempted to murder their father for not letting him via telepathy that he didn't have.

Idk how much you make where you work but it might be worth giving Walgreens a look. They start at $15/hr for entry level and $17 for leadership. (At least here in NC. Your state may be higher depending on state laws and state minimum wage. And they honor meal breaks and rest periods.

this is very sweet! however i currently make $21 as my starting wage at this job and will probably get a raise within a year, since I have significant prior experience in my field and am actively taking a certification course right now. also we don't have a walgreens here

A! Elbereth Gilthoniel! Silivren penna miriel O menal aglar elenath, Gilthoniel, A! Elbereth! We still remember, we who dwell In this far land beneath the trees Thy starlight on the Western Seas.

Y'know, i think the clans would've empathised with the noldor, before the invasion. A homeland far away, that they cannot yet return to, leaving them to sing and dream of its shores.

also makes me wonder whether tolkien's works survived that far, and if records of them joined the clans in their exodus (or survived the fires of succession). how much of our literature remains to them, 500, 1000 years from now?

(probably quite a bit, we're not exactly working on warhammer 40k timescales here)

A reminder….

[1mnobodywhoareyou]

I've had this rant locked and loaded for YEARS but have never figured out how to quite make it right for Instagram and this post has brought it back up for me, so here goes:

Solidarity needs to flow DOWNWARDS. Stop expecting people who are poorer than you to stand with you for YOUR causes. This is true of literally every marginalization.

If you make 65k (or jesus, 100k) and are frustrated at the people making 30k, 10k, 5k for not standing alongside you in your fight for higher wages, turn back and see what *they* need. Listen to *their* perspective.

I can almost guarantee (with few exceptions where the privilege DEPENDS on their oppression) that in uplifting the MOST MARGINALIZED, you will better your OWN experience.

We've *seen* what happens when we only focus on our own struggle and getting *our* next step up. Nothing changes and there are just new steps to climb (hello, white feminism etc).

If you want less "infighting" and more "solidarity," look back.

Listen.

We are not your enemy.

We are not the ones making us enemies.

If you want "class consciousness" and "workers solidarity," start with yourself.
