ableism and minimum wage 

@Fidgetcetera @interneteh Paraprofessionals know they have what is essentially unlimited access to a vulnerable population that is either cognitively or through systematic oppression unable to properly advocate for their own rights. They also know that if it becomes a question of who is telling the truth about an allegation they will almost always be believed.

Corporations say sub minimum wage labor is the only reason they hire us. They lie.

i want a better model for heroism and goodness than self-sacrifice and martyrdom because if i don't have any others i won't have any me left soon

heard from mauna kea protesters that cops there were locking bikes together into a sort of mobile(?) wall so they could use it to force people to move. thought it might be worth knowing, though we have no further information.

I wish there was just like a anarchist approach to a lot of software. I just want some apps that aren't designed for profit, usually via ads.

Just looked up the bios of the Trans Siberian orchestra and let’s just say that I am *very* disappointed.

ableism and minimum wage 

So the state of Alaska decided to make it against the law to pay disabled folks less than minimum wage. There's a couple other states that did so as well. Maryland is one. In most states, disabled people can legally be paid below minimum wage

I was posting about this one and some guy who claimed to work with disabled people said "it's not about the money. If these people lose jobs because of this, they're going to lose the only socialization they have."

This seems like bullshit to me, no?

however there should be a rulebook to flip through between games

Sending voice messages to tell people you love them? Good and cool imho

friend 1: cthulhu on sulu meme

friend 2: "dread cthulhu knows the value of setting phasers to fabulous"

friend 3: misreads it as 'dread pirate cthulhu'

us: we're not the dread pirate cthulhu. the real cthulhu has been retired many æons and sleeps in an eternal cuddle pile with her gfs at her house in r'lyeh

liberals love to look at cuba, a country with the highest literacy rate in the world, universal free medical care, universal housing, and a carbon neutral economy and say buhhh but the cars are old and the paint on the apartment buildings is chipping
