Firstly, firing an employee for simply taking sick leave is wrongful termination. Secondly, busy or not, having a contagious person come into work to get the rest of your staff and customers sick is just bad business. Management needs to learn how to be better at their jobs.

Not trying to be alarmist, but you should probably be paying close attention to what's happening with H5N1.

Protect yourselves as best you can. No one else will.

Farm workers are harvesting broccolini in a Watsonville field. They cut it from the plant, toss it in their backpacks & dump it when they reach the end of the row. The backpack is heavy & uncomfortable. Workers often pad it or wear a weight belt to protect their back. #WeFeedYou

Treating people as only a way to get what you want cheaply allows corporations and capitalism to continue their stranglehold on life as a simple commodity. We are all more than the labor we can produce. We all have worth, whether we labor or not.
Worse, it reduces mass deportation to a problem for capitalism. Instead of neighbors, friends and family members we are talking about the price of cereal.

Some liberal/resist types go so far it’s blatantly racist w/stereotypes about needing immigrants to cut the grass and clean the toilets.

Americans: the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING you can do for Gaza right now is call your Senators every single day until November 21 and ask them to co-sign Senate Joint Resolutions 111-116, which would block the 11 BILLION DOLLARS of military aid we’re about to send Israel. USCPR has scripts.
If you're feeling paralyzed and don't know where to start:

gazafunds.com has a list of families that desperately need support.

uscpr.org has tons of resources; currently I'm focused on the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval re: the TWENTY BILLION DOLLARS OF WEAPONS the US is about to send Israel

I want my government to provide healthcare for its citizens, not bombs for genocide.

We are currently trying to raise minimum &353 by this Saturday (11/23), before 10:30am, for our weekly housing.

We are trying to reach $600 by Monday the latest to cover upcoming bills, baby necessities and needed supplies.
I’m still trying to crowdfund towards my 5k goal.
Please if you have it to help, help!
We would appreciate being able to save towards a place instead of only raising week to week. 💜
The more people that help, the further ahead we get.

Let the Buffalo Roam

Ever since cattle ranchers sued the park and forced Yellowstone to cull bison trying to leave the park for winter forage, these guys have been fighting the good fight to reverse it

There's no reason at all Bison shouldn't be allowed to roam free
