I originally said “Ferguson PD” - that’s wrong. It’s all of St. Louis County.
State and Federal law enforcement are taking over.

i am laughing because i just started imagining a gordon ramsay-like feminist writer who, rather than helping to keep restaurants in business, goes to writers of television shows and films and chastises them for the sexism, racism, and general lack of diversity in their scripts
“YOUR SCRIPT IS AS WHITE AS THE PAPER IT’S PRINTED ON, YOU DONKEY.”
“THIS WHOLE CAST HAS MORE SAUSAGE IN IT THAN FLIPPING OKTOBERFEST!”

I think restricting how much executives make as a low multiple of lowest pay in the company is a fantastic idea.
Let’s fucking do this, but ADDENDUM: among the employees they have to count interns. If they don’t pay their interns, then THEY DON’T GET PAID EITHER.
Totally down with this.
I have been advocating this for at least twenty years now.

why is "hate breeds more hate" a bad thing to say?
Read more »Oh so many reasons.
1) it equates the anger of the oppressed to the hate of their oppressors.
2) it blames oppressed groups for their oppression. Bigotry doesn’t exist because people hate bigots. It exists because oppressed people oppose it. It exists because of bigots and because of privileged folks being complicit or tacitly condoning systems of oppression.
3) it’s fundamentally untrue. Hatred of oppression doesn’t lead to more hatred; it leads to progress.
4) it is used

Uuh… it’s hard to explain, it’s a burden that just appears out of nowhere and fucks you up for days. Ignoring it is not easy. It takes over you and even tends to distort your perception of reality turning it into a living nightmare. It’s awful and terrifying.

Give them a taste.
One of my plans for world domination includes putting asshat CEOs in the middle of the consequences of their own decisions.
…and one of the many reasons for the subsequent revolution.

You love a teacher when they’re hiding your children from a crazed gunman in Newtown and getting shot while protecting them. You adore educators when they’re using their body to shield your kids from a falling wall in the middle of a tornado in Oklahoma.
But let that teacher have the nerve to ask for job security or reasonable pay or a manageable workload and all of a sudden we’re lazy union thugs.
