This is how I feel as well 😰
Finally, may I just say?

Sometimes I cannot believe this is all happening.

It’s like living in a horror movie where scientists and their trusty sidekicks are the only ones who know that everyone else seems normal but has been possessed by aliens, or something.

Fossil capitalism is that surreal.

Agreed
I want to ban marriage as an institution. Ceremonies should be allowed but there should be no benefits over other relationships and living styles for monogamous couples over everyone else

Ideally this would happen in socialism where private property isn’t a thing so that doesn’t matter either
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

More of this!!
Y’all need to learn how to 'yes AND'. There’s a lot of rejecting or dismissing facts because the framing is incorrect/immoral/trite, etc. but that’s doesn’t change the FACT. You can still use and share the FACT while altering or arguing against the framing in which said information was shared.

Personally I just use virtual backgrounds 🙃
I find it fascinating that almost every person's home I visit now has an area set up to be camera-ready, whether through Zoom, a YouTube camera, or something else, to make your living space aesthetically pleasing for people who will never actually physically enter it.

If you thought women ruined the workplace, wait until you see what us enbies are doing. Flex hours, pay equality, plants on the desk, diverse hires, accessible desk spaces ... Real "9 to 5" shit, just like Dolly Parton taught us.

No Starbucks 'til workers get more bucks

(and whatever else it is they are striking for)
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

Don't cross a picket line.
BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.

If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.
Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract
Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.
