if your employees aren't worth paying a living wage, it means the thing you're making them do is less productive than subsistence farming

your business isn't useful enough to exist

imagine if instead of telling poor people that they don't deserve the things they can't afford

we told corporations that they don't deserve the employees they aren't willing to pay enough

my friend who teaches kids, just schooled me on tentacles vs arms

It represents a refusal to play by society's rules in the face of massive intersectional oppression, which is a whole lotta meaning packed into just five letters.

I don't think "gay" is a bad word. It's just too narrow for me, it doesn't leave room for my genderqueerness, and it's not radical enough. Plus, if I'm being honest, because this is the kind of queer I am: It's just not nearly as stylish, sexy and cool as "queer" is to me.

To me, "queer" means so much more than simply "LGBTQ+". It also carries with it the radical legacy of our history in a way that a word like "gay" just never could for me.

I'm not just gay. I'm queer, because I refuse to fit in, I refuse to conform, and I will fight oppression.

Rewatching Tron: Uprising for the aesthetic. They really want you to sympathize with Commander Paige as some kind of good cop, but seriously, how does she not see all the red flags among her peers and especially her boss?
She's a bad cop by reason of incompetence. She's on the side of a fascist state who supplies random violence and still tells herself this is somehow bringing "order" to the Grid.

@dark_soil and that's exactly the kind of socialization school is meant to achieve, it seems 😬 I'd have been so proud if you were my kid or student

@dark_soil it's always been wild to me that schools frown more on fighting back against bullies than against bullying, but your post crystallizes for me why that is: Bullying is a method of social control, a reassertion of power against people who are considered weaker or don't fit the mold in some way. Bullies don't detract from the real function of schools, they help it by excluding undesirables and putting them in their place.
