And to stop accepting commuting to the office when working from home is just as productive and gives us hours back every day
Highlighted, typed screenshot: I'm so glad we, as a generation, all agreed to stop ironing our clothes. And to stop staying in marriages that are killing us. And to stop keeping friendships just because of history. And to stop forcing kids to hug relatives they're uncomfortable with. And to stop laughing at "jokes" that are actually just insults. And to stop pretending burnout is a sign of ambition. And to stop accepting abuse just because it's "family." And to stop living only for weekends. And to stop apologizing for taking up space. And to stop believing we have to follow the exact same path our parents did.

the obituary James Dobson deserves
Anyway he is dead now. He died on Thursday in Colorado Springs at the age of 89. The world is a much worse place as a result of his life's work; it would be a better place had he never been born. If he did not want people to rejoice at his death, maybe he should not have spent an entire lifetime working for and justifying their pain and suffering. He preached that there is a hell, and that the wicked go there. He lived his life as though he did not believe it, or anything else.

no whiplash quite like "oh...you still get ADS?" whiplash
Tumblr post by user dragon-in-a-fez genuinely wild to me when I go to someone's house and we watch TV or listen to music or something and there are ads. I haven't seen an ad in my home since 2005. what do you mean you haven't set up multiple layers of digital infrastructure to banish corporate messaging to oblivion before it manifests? listen, this is important. this is the 21st century version of carving sigils on the wall to deny entry to demons or wearing bells to ward off the Unseelie. come on give me your router admin password and I'll show you how to cast a protective spell of Get Thee Tae Fuck, Capital

went to the Bay last night and wow it is depressing in there - escalators broken (so everyone had to take the elevator), shelves emptying out, handwritten clearance signs

Private Equity ate another giant
a store - in the foreground a beige counter with white countertop has a yellow sign stuck to it that says "ALL SALES FINAL no returns" Hudson's Bay branded tote bags hang from a stand to one side In the background are racks of clothes and the entry to fitting rooms

"Also maybe a violation of civil rights in general?" YEP THAT TOO
Quotation from the Wikipedia article "Catholic schools in Canada" In 1999, the United Nations Human Rights Committee determined that Canada was in violation of article 26 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, because Ontario's Ministry of Education discriminates against non-Catholics by continuing to publicly fund separate Catholic schools, but not those of any other religious groups. For more information see Education in Canada and Waldman v. Canada.

This is fucking evil. www.yahoo.com/news/hamas-h...
Excerpt from Yahoo News article describing recent leaflets dropped on Gaza: The harrowing message implored Gazans to leave "before the implementation of Trump’s forced plan—which will impose your forced displacement whether you like it or not." The message continued, "We have decided to make a final appeal to those who wish to receive aid in exchange for cooperating with us. We will not hesitate for a moment to help." Otherwise, it suggested, "No one will feel for you, and no one will ask about you. You are left alone to face your inevitable fate." "Neither US nor Europe cares about Gaza," it stated, before concluding, "The game is almost over, and only a little remains. Whoever wants to save themselves before it’s too late, we are here to stay until Judgment Day."

“If you deny any affinity with another person or kind of person, if you declare it to be wholly different from yourself—as men have done to women, and class has done to class, and nation has done to nation—you may hate it, or deify it, but in either case you have denied its spiritual equality, and its human reality. You have made it into a thing, to which the only possible relationship is a power relationship. And thus you have fatally impoverished your own reality.” Ursula K. Le Guin "American SF and The Other" in Science-Fiction Studies 7, 1975.
