Okay, from here on out, I am going to TRY to remember to put a CW for dark humor on any relevant Mom-related posts, but I also know myself, and so make no promises that I actually will.

My union—the LA Times Guild—has authorized a strike with the support of 85% of our membership.

This comes after years of brutal layoffs and no cost-of-living raises since 2021.

Next up: we bargain. But if we have to strike, we will 🪧

Ah. Thanks. (Took a bit of thinking and googling, because it turned out I wasn’t familiar with him—though I had reason to think he, which is why I asked—but I got it.)

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

I can recall a time, not too long ago, where examples of "papers, please" governments were used as un-American counter examples.

"THEY WERE EVENTUALLY LET GO AFTER SHOWING THIER DOCUMENTS". In other words, they were pulled out of their cars for looking "Mexican".

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

Good to see this but hopefully everyone also realizes they should have scored some runs and this wouldn't have happened. Team sport. Live or die together.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.

(That there was one specific problematic interpersonal relationship in 9-1-1: Lone Star isn’t really relevant, in that it already existed before the show began; no one was actively making terrible decisions.)

MASHFanficChick @mashfanficchick.bsky.social · 6h

Minor 9-1-1: Nashville spoiler:

I know we talk about how incredibly problematic the interpersonal relationships are in the original 9-1-1, but at least those all happened accidentally (even though they should have been dealt with after the fact).

What’s going on in Nashville? 1000% Not Okay.

MASHFanficChick @mashfanficchick.bsky.social · 7h

- I was wondering who Buck was talking to (only because we know Bobby’s in Minnesota), and I love the answer we got!

- He’s so cute!

And that’s it for the premiere!

(Don’t expect this every week.)

Now time for the 9-1-1: Nashville series premiere (which I do not plan to live-skeet)!

- Eddie, pot, kettle

- I feel like maybe this conversation would work better if at least Eddie was less sober

- Ooh, new Buck lore: he doesn’t like flying!

- That said, there’s no way Buck doesn’t wanna go to space
