Left not liberal. Working class politics is my religion. Unapologetically socialist, Black, and a woman. Not tolerant, but fair. @Tori_TLCR on Twitter. Free Palestine!

Yes it takes a village, but don't let your toddler wander outside the bus shelter on a busy street and make me watch them. It's not my job. I did my job already, am tired and I am going home. 😭

I never mentioned Jews at all. It’s not nuanced. White people are stealing land and committing genocide for it in the Middle East. Period.
doubt that, as in not much more than jews experience in general.
There will be no understanding of the nature of the Israeli right wing nor its grip on Israeli politics; it's too nuanced.
If anything, ALL jews will suffer for the actions of the zionist government (or it will be ignored).

From day 1, top Israeli officials repeatedly screamed it from the rooftops: TOTAL EXTERMINATION!
All you had to do was believe them

One man's emergency is another man's chill ass day at work.
Power outage at work today, spent the last two hours getting paid to sit in the shade on my butt and play video games while making sure a door stopper stayed in place since our fobs didn't work.
I did a very good job lol.

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

Just gave my inner eyelid a papercut with paper towel. 🙃
And now I have a new curse to wish upon my enemies.
Stings like a bitch when sweat gets on there.

The NYT is not being “gamed” by the far-right. They are not “failing” to portray things accurately. They are not “making mistakes.” They are a propaganda arm of capitalism— a large private corporation with values the same as the far-right.
They are antagonists, not tragic antiheroes.

There are far more disabled people pretending to be well than there are pretending to be sick.
Being on disability is not fun.
You’re forced into legislated poverty. Treated like a “useless eater”. Shunned, abandoned and constantly questioned.
It’s dehumanizing 🧵

Canadians begged their MPs not to pass this bill, then we begged our Senators, and they all told us to “trust government,” like we are stupid and did not read the legislation. Public consultation in every level of government is dead. Canadians no longer matter. They are all so corrupt.

Senator Tony Ince admits the Senate of Canada did not due its due diligence at the earlier stages of Bill C5, that despite massive amounts of Canadians contacting them begging them to actually do the work, they won’t & tells us he will support it anyway and to trust Carney JFC. #cdnpoli #Canadasky

If you're new to the workforce, pro tip: unless you're a lifeguard or swim coach, don't wear flip flops on day 1.
Office: Closed-toe dress shoes until you learn that office's culture.
Cleaning: Sneakers.
Construction, Manual labour Warehouse: Steel toes.
Restaurant: Black nonslip most likely...

It's Shut the Fuck Up Friday.
From my mother, a lawyer for decades and decades:
"What they teach them in cop school is how to get you to incriminate yourself.
If they stop you, ask if you're being arrested. If no, then leave.
If yes, you say 'I want my lawyer', and that's all you say, period."

If you are stopped or detained by ANY law enforcement FOR ANY REASON, the ONLY thing you should say (besides providing ID in a stop and ID state) is:
I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT.
That's it.
