My mother’s union just secured a 40% raise and 7 weeks parental leave for its workers after walking off the job (in an illegal strike no less).

Don’t let people tell you unions aren’t worth fighting for

20 YEARS AGO.

Change the names and it’s the exact same today.

I feel like walking into the ocean.

you know, this feels like a fun time to remind those of you able bodied out there, ally or not, you will be disabled eventually, unless you die very young. it might take 40 years for your hips to give out, or you might have a lifechanging accident in the next 30 minutes, but don't think you're better than me just because i've been disabled since i was a teenager. you'll know what it's like eventually. maybe start advocating for us now while you have working legs and arms and eyes

cause i'll be honest, if a platform doesn't allow sex workers under any circumstances, i consider it discriminatory, not just because a large proportion of poor trans women do sex work to survive, amongst other reasons, but because i can't get behind treating sex workers like that, cis or trans

a "support the troops" sticker but it's a picture of a trans puppygirl dyke
