local pol, teacher strike
oh hey this is late but the LA teacher's strike won:
- a mandatory cap on class sizes at every grade level
- hiring full time nurses at every school
- a librarian hired at every middle and high school by next year
- 50% reduction in frequency of standardized test assessments
- a hard cap on number of charter schools
- 6 percent pay raise
this contract was ratified by an overwhelming majority of the union. these changes will benefit not only the teachers, but every student in the city public school system.
STRIKES. WORK.
@drzaiusx11 oh geeze, i hate it when that kind of thing happens

@dfstarshine hiii! welcome to the place with fairies in computers! nice to have you :o

@behold3r you mean a mouse jumping around isn't the gay agenda? :O
tho, tbh - can always add more rainbows...
i work on social media a lot throughout the day (ugh) and like, I'm realizing something maybe obvious about generational conflict.
I think baby boomers might be best characterized by an adversarial lifestyle. Not even just the big stuff or by being openly hateful. I mean like, they consider success as a "victory." Being the toughest, the smartest, the most wily.
And that's my explanation for why old people are so obsessed with getting away with abusing coupons. Thank you and goodnight
@TheHottestPotato tbh, i feel this mood as well... ive been a lot more limited due to concussion stuff
@Chel I want to see the onion
cold, clinical interpretations of data fall short of effective outcomes when they're applied to the human situation
simple cost benefit calculations are the lifeblood of authoritarian, capitalist regimes and should not be considered an effective way to make decisions in any environment where lives can be altered and suffering is possible

i'm a gay raven. sometimes a gay cat. i like technology, corvids, good stories, long walks on the beach, and destroying the patriarchy. all before breakfast.
i'm fairly antisocial but if you're interesting and nice then probably i'll be a good friend to have around.
currently in a loving relationship with a bunny and a merlin.
