I support taxing the rich and getting your money back

I support a shared wealth tax between blue states to guarantee m4a within our borders

I support a ubi and universal guaranteed basic needs.

I leg press 500lbs & I sing opera

I've baled hay & bagged bread

I'm ready

What if all jobs felt good
Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.

We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.

We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

IMO the weird exception some supposed leftists seem to make for condemning-the-theft-of-labor-except-art-lol-steal-that-shit is just a weird intersection with puritan "if you enjoy yourself, it's not a real job" brainworms.

"fun" job = member of the leisure class (ROFL) = fair game. Somehow.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

I try to be honest with people who ask me about what it’s like to be a freelancer. While there’s lots of benefits to it, there’s also things that make it hard.

What are some things you hate about freelancing? #freelancing

Basically, if you haven't yet bought a copy of THE RESTAURANT AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD, or want to get it for a friend/relative/child/enemy for Christmas, it would be really nice if you purchased it from Argonaut. They're good people having a bad week.

saw another 'help me get into canada' fundraiser from a queer person cross my tl so I feel the need to urgently reiterate:

DO NOT TRY TO COME HERE

YOU WILL NOT GET IN

I have seen at least one recent case where someone with everything in order got bounced at the border without good reason
