Tonight, as the candles burn and the names are spoken, we remember that every light represents not only loss, but legacy. Each flame is a promise - that we will not disappear quietly, that we will not accept invisibility, and that we will keep fighting until every sex worker can live free from fear.

A street scene in a dense urban environment is captured in a vertical photograph, characterised by strong contrasts between light and shadow. The image depicts a city street flanked by tall, modern buildings under a bright, clear blue sky. The sun, positioned low in the sky at the end of the street, casts a brilliant, warm glow that creates a dramatic interplay of illumination and deep shadow. On the left, a large portion of the frame is dominated by the shadow of the imposing building immediately next to the viewer. This building has a blue-gray facade and numerous large, rectangular windows that reflect the bright sky and surrounding structures. Parked on the street in this shadowed area is a dark SUV, positioned on a white-striped crosswalk. The vehicle's form is mostly obscured by the lack of direct light, but its wheels and front grille are subtly visible. A street lamp post stands tall in the middle ground, bridging the gap between the dark foreground and the illuminated background. The right side of the street is bathed in intense sunlight, creating a bright, almost overexposed, path leading into the distance. The wet pavement gleams with the reflection of the sun and the surrounding architecture. The buildings on the right are tall and more numerous, creating a canyon effect. These structures feature various architectural styles, primarily modern high-rises with glass and concrete facades. The sun's light highlights the vertical lines and sharp edges of these skyscrapers. The perspective leads the eye down the street towards the vanishing point where the sun shines brightest. The atmosphere is crisp and clear, with no visible haze or fog. The sharp division between the cool blue shadows and the warm golden light provides a striking visual tension. The overall composition uses leading lines from the street and buildings to draw focus to the light source at the horizon. The stark beauty of the urban landscape is emphasised by the dramatic natural lighting.

This is a bait post but it’s so bad it’s fine to dunk on. Media reporters should be asking editors how this saw the light of day as well as what The Atlantic’s policy is on screaming racist slurs at customers. Talk to the Newsguild / CWA about how anti-worker this take is, too.

“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:
Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

Trump and the GOP keep saying they are going to make things affordable while claiming that affordability is a Democrat hoax. Regardless, they'd rather watch working Americans eat shit and die than make healthcare affordable.

Cartoon-style three-panel meme on a light blue background. Top left panel: A wide-eyed man in a red “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” hat, suit, and red tie grins with both arms raised. Black caption text above him reads: “WE’RE MAKING EVERYTHING AFFORDABLE!” Top right panel: A tired-looking fast-food worker in a black cap and black polo shirt with a yellow “M” logo looks over at the MAGA man. The faint “GE” logo is in the background. Bottom left panel: Close-up of the same fast-food worker, looking worried and desperate, mouth open. Black caption text above him reads: “CAN YOU MAKE HEALTHCARE AFFORDABLE?” Bottom right panel: Close-up of the MAGA man’s face, smiling manically. Black caption text beside him reads: “LOL. EAT SHIT AND DIE.” The meme mocks right‑wing claims about “affordability” while refusing to make healthcare affordable.

Migratory workers harvesting peas near Nipomo, California

#nipomo #california #undefined #photography #dorothealange

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017769849/
The image is a black and white photograph depicting several individuals engaged in agricultural labor. The main subject, centrally located within the frame, appears to be an adult worker wearing a light-colored hooded garment, kneeling amidst rows of crops with their hands immersed among plants, likely harvesting or tending them. Behind this individual, others are visible performing similar tasks across more extensive fields under hazy skies, possibly indicating early morning mist. The scene is set in what seems like a rural field area with sparse vegetation and distant rolling hills forming the backdrop. The absence of modern machinery suggests manual labor as part of their work process. The presence of baskets or containers indicates that gathered crops are being collected for transport to storage areas not visible within this frame. This photograph could be reflective of historical agricultural practices, possibly during a period when migratory workers were commonly involved in seasonal harvests across various regions.

Panel 1. image of a huge nuclear plant. “Reactor Overheating” 2. A worker in a hazmat suit works at a computer. The screen reads: “Press cancel to avoid critical overload” 3 - 9. The worker continues to type at the computer. The screen changes in each panel and reads: “Enter password to confirm” “Incorrect password” “Incorrect password” “Do you want to reset your password?” “Reset link has been sent to your email” “Please choose a new password” “New password can't be the same as old password” The colour gets hotter in each panel. Starting blue in 1 and ending in red in 9. Panel 10. Wide view. The entire earth is blown up. Panel One: A woman sits in a chair reading happily in a book-filled room. A voice offstage says "You can't survive on books alone" The woman replies "Maybe I can!" Panel Two: "How?" asks the voice "I don't know yet, but I'm sure the answer will be in one of my books." Says the woman Panel Three: Caption: However The book is filled with yet more books. A skull sits on the chair. It says "I regret nothing!" Title: How to focus on writing your book There follow eleven tiny images telling a story. The captions read: Turn your devices off (a writer with a phone and laptop. The screens are dark). Put them in a drawer. Lock the drawer. Throw away the key. Leave the house. Do not look back. Keep to backroads and hedgerows. Feel your old life slip away. (the writer has shed his clothes) Sleep by day. Forage in the evening. Write by the light of the moon When you have a passable first draft, commit a minor crime and use your phone call to contact your agent. (the naked writer is in a prison holding a phone while an unamused police officer looks on).

Hello fellow Social Workers and Happy Jane Addams Day! As you know, Jane Addams was a social worker, organizer, and peace activist who co-founded Hull House in Chicago. She's also the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931.
#JaneAddamsDay #OGSocialWorker
Black-and-white photograph of Jane Addams standing on the deck of a ship, facing the camera. She wears a dark coat with a fur collar and cuffs, a cloche-style hat, and light-colored gloves that she holds in one hand along with a small handbag. The background is slightly foggy with railings and a blurred building behind her.

When I met Hannah she was a hostess at a Red Robin and I was immediately struck by her damned-near-angelic demeanor. #amateur #amazing #gorgeous #hotelroom #glam #pdxphotographer. More in the alt-text.
Her genuine enthusiasm for everything around her was contagious. She put her arched eyebrow to good use, too, noting that an office worker across the street from the 5th floor hotel room we were in seemed to be VERY interested in our playtime. I suggested we change gears and she said, "oh, no - let's give him a show! I think he's calling his wife to tell her he has to work late!" and proceeded to quite-innocently giggle her way through a gorgeous strip-tease with the draperies and a fur coat. I've met a couple of people who really stand out for just being extraordinary people. The amazing Lucy Artmodel from Australia is one and Hannah's temperment seemed very similar -- I just could not imagine a cross word coming from her. Which isn't to say that either is a Pollyanna. Just that their basic nature seems to find good things to focus on and so pulls good things from the people around them. Sadly, Hannah and I only shot a few times before losing her to what I assume were the confines of a "jealous boyfriend". Oh, it doesn't have to be awful but the moment passed and last I saw of them was living in a trailer somewhere outside Barstow. I hope her ability to see wonder and joy hasn't dimmed any. The guy in the window across the street was pretty clearly at the end of his workday when we began and Hannah chortled at his phone call. Lots of expansive gestures...."totally unexpected....have to get 'er done, babe....." and then he settled in to enjoy the show. She seemed to like it and insisted on staying in the window. As we lost light I'm guessing that the glare of cars and streetlights eventually made us less observable and he finally gave up and we moved on to other parts of the suite. Earlier in the day I had happened past a box of reel-to-reel tape sitting atop a dumpster and we put it to good use.

Hi! Hello!
Your art and character designs look really cool!

Here are some of my pieces.
I like doing character designs and drawing big guy.
I unfortunately don't have as much free time to draw so I don't art as often as I want. ^^"

And Alt Text was added! Took me a bit, but it's there.
A fan art piece of Volug from Fire Emblem Radiant that features the character looking back over his shoulder. A fullbody design of an Oni character dressed in a construction worker outfit of Belobog Industries from Zenless Zone Zero. A small picture off to to the side shows how his hair is tied back. Text in the corner shows his name and agent stats. The character is named Akura Hachiman, has a Defense fighting style, and is of the Physical Element.

The word for December 8th is "fourth" - One of a set of four Lysene leaded windows, the Lady Paramount's most beautiful gifts to Timmor upon his rise as Lord of Bronzegate. #WIPSnips

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #Fanfic #GameofThrones
The fourth window was the grandest. It blazed with gold and violet, and at its center stretched a sword wrought of glass so dark it was nearly black, blocking the light almost as well as the lead came. Somehow, the glass-worker had managed to execute the blade in a single thin piece. Timmor wondered how many attempts had been needed to execute that final perfect shard. Flames danced around its length in panels of ruby and amber, and behind it rose the towers of Bronzegate. Not as it was, but as it would be. Whole and proud. Each stone shining as though newly set. Above the keep, a crescent moon and a sunburst were joined together, the heraldry of two houses fused into one.

I personally will never proclaim myself as a "light worker" because the potent, fertile soil for growth and being of service lies within the Shadow.

Denying reality of this oppressive society does not allow for us to do the work.

Anything short of that is not awakened consciousness.

I personally will never proclaim myself as a "light worker" because the potent, fertile soil for growth and being of service lies within the Shadow. I devote my life to Decolonizing my mind and somatically abolishing white supremacy from my being and DNA. Denying reality of this oppressive society does not allow for us to do the work that advocates for the true Great Awakening, of dismantling colonized, capitalistic, white supremacy. Anything short of that is not awakened consciousness.
