“Unskilled labor” is a myth the ruling class made up to justify poverty wages.

All labor is skilled labor.

Every job deserves a living wage.

Hey y’all. Take all your shit off google docs. All of it. They’re scraping it and training AI on it. Don’t share documents via gmail either. Put it all on a drive.

The US dropped 270 million cluster bombs on Laos.

'Every eight minutes, 24 hours a day, for nine years from 1964 until 1973, a planeload of cluster bombs was dropped on Laos by American B-52s.'

50 years later, civilians (and children) are still being blown up by the bombs.

Unbelievable! A serial sex abuser should not get a free ride because he may or may not have done good deeds as a coo. If anything, he should be held to a higher standard. This is an absolute offence to women everywhere.

Let us be clear: Cluster bombs are crimes against humanity! They disproportionately kill children and innocent people far long after they’re dropped. Shame on President Biden for such revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy!

TDot Resident Nobody is saying ON place and the Science centre should be left to rot. We're saying no to a 95 year lease to a private mega spa. No to half a billion for an underground parking lot by the lake and no to gutting the science centre and letting the original building rot.

The cage match we should pay attention to is the one the billionaire class is waging against the working class.

Dr. Keren Brathwaite will be missed as she joins the ancestors. Her work to support Black scholarship and in particular the TYP will not be forgotten. Rest in Power Keren 🕊

If anyone is looking to hire for remote work - teaching, marking, consulting, editing, or copy-editing-do let me know. I have a lot of experience but health barriers is preventing me from being able to travel much or do anything that isn’t sitting down most of the time. 🙏

This is so amazing. 🥰🥰🥰

Um, hey British Museum, it's come to my attention that your exhibit 'China's hidden century' uses my translations of Qiu Jin's poetry, but you never contacted me for permission. Please note this is a copyright infringement! How are you going to fix this?? #NameTheTranslator

Also, it's really ironic to learn of this as I'm currently writing an essay on translating Qiu Jin's poetry for a book, and I just wrote this paragraph yesterday...
