Listen:

I followed the rules of humor by subverting expectations in a lighthearted or surprising way to elicit laughter or, at the very least, guffaws from my fellow humans and yet NO ONE shows up to my birthday parties

Quick question:

How are every of you doing to do the real life and if it is a thing, can it be for me also and maybe some others because most of I think everybody is or at least they want it to but and they can’t except but no so yeah basically that’s my question thank you

In my house we only fear one thing.

The microwave.

At any moment it might trip the breaker

Instead of those wine and painting places how about a weed smoking and pottery place called Blaze and Glaze

The Glencoe high school Tidettes need to get together and reprise their star bellied sneeches dance.

It costs very little to nothing to join your local community support and activism group. I’ll be at the IWW general meeting this month. Will you?

Instead of the conservative motto, “A fair day’s wage for a fair day’s work,” we must inscribe on our banner the revolutionary watchword,

“ABOLITION OF THE WAGE SYSTEM”

These conditions can be changed and the interest of the working class upheld only by an organization formed in such a way that all its members in any one industry, or in all industries if necessary, cease work whenever a strike or lockout is on in any department thereof,
February 4, 2025 at 8:16 AM
Moreover, the trade unions aid the employing class to mislead the workers into the belief that the working class have interests in common with their employers.
February 4, 2025 at 8:16 AM
The trade unions foster a state of affairs which allows one set of workers to be pitted against another set of workers in the same industry, thereby helping defeat one another in wage wars.
February 4, 2025 at 8:15 AM
We find that the centering of the management of industries into fewer and fewer hands makes the trade unions unable to cope with the evergrowing power of the employing class.
February 4, 2025 at 8:15 AM
Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of the world organise as a class, take possession of the means of production, abolish the wage system, and live in harmony with the earth.
February 4, 2025 at 8:15 AM
There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of the working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life.
February 4, 2025 at 8:14 AM
The working class and the employing class have nothing in common.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
