Managed to catch the postie with the cunning strategy of camping out on my doorstep and waiting for them to turn up.

Alas, the postie doesn’t know what’s taking so firkin long, either.

These 7 Household Names Make a Killing Off of the Prison-Industrial Complex

ay-oo:

thinksquad:

Once slavery was abolished in 1865, manufacturers scrambled to find other sources of cheap labor--and because the 13th amendment banned slavery (except as punishment for crimes), they didn't have to look too far.
