absolutely fascinating discovery this morning: the TV licensing bureau now actually sends round inspectors if you don't have a license
how is that the one thing the government has more money for now than fifteen years ago

This is actually the original definition of emotional labor, as defined by Arlie Hochschild, the sociologist who coined the term. It refers to the labor of performing emotions in order to do your job. It is not enough to just do your job, you have to put on a performance
There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

SOCRATES: No god is a philosopher or seeker after wisdom, for he is wise already; nor does any man who is wise seek after wisdom.

please please be more passionate about what you like and create. i cannot count how many times i have seen people reflect on old art they made or interests they had and call it "cringe" so they can make fun of themselves and hope that instead of being laughed at, they can laugh with everyone.

begging anybody using bonfire night as a moment to celebrate revolution and liberation to remember that Guy Fawkes was a reactionary catholic plotting to restore papal authority over england; he has at least as much in common with the Jan 6 mob as anything on the political left

please feel free to spread the word lol. i am very much dependent on SNAP and i very much have no means of replacing the $300 they provide me every month for food, all the money i make otherwise goes towards bills and rent, quite literally rn i won't be able to eat w/o it
