Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

ever since microsoft's layoffs in early july, the two zenimax unions have been fighting for impacted employees following the cancellation of the elder scrolls online studio's unannounced mmo. they've won laid-off workers more time (aka more pay), better severance, recall rights, and saved some jobs

"We were able to extend out [laid-off workers] impacted period, because their timers didn't even start until we signed the memorandum of understanding [about the layoffs],” Alyssa Gobelle, senior motion graphics artist and Zenimax Online Studios union bargaining committee member, told Aftermath. “Even their 60 days of continued employment and pending termination notices didn't happen until that ink was signed. So instead of starting July 2, that started mid-August, so that essentially bought them a lot more weeks of pay and healthcare security while we figured this out. That's sort of a soft win in a way, because obviously [it's] not in the contract, but it was an impact of us being able to bargain. We were able to buy them more time."

As a result, ZOS union members who lost their jobs in July technically remain employed until October. The ZOS union also squeezed an additional four weeks minimum severance out of Microsoft, bringing the total up to eight weeks across the board. On top of all that, the union also secured 18 months of recall rights for everyone on the canceled Zenimax MMO that lost their jobs, meaning that if there’s a relevant job opening at Zenimax Online Studios, there’s now a chance that workers who’ve been let go will get their old jobs back – as opposed to the company throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

If all you care about is interpersonal, one-on-one physical assault, you must incorporate the fact that the speech-acts of politicians or ‘influencers’ are causally efficacious, e.g. when Boris Johnson slandered Muslim women in the papers, physical assaults of Muslim women shot through the roof

"words are not violence"

Is an unambiguously fascist thing to say and has been for a very long time now.

The whole point of it is to avoid engaging with what's being said by the people your words are hurting. It is a deliberate "playing dumb" to make marginalised people seem unreasonable.

Anyone calling ICE on someone deserves to be banished and shamed forever. I mean punished so bad you end up in the gutter begging for scraps and no one gives a fuck

stitch 🔞 @stitch.bsky.social · 28d

If you're willing to threaten to call ICE on fans of color you disagree with for ANY reason or if you actually report fans or celebs of color (saw someone post screenshots of her report of an IDOL)... I don't know that "evil racist" is a strong enough term for you.
