Yes. Homeless people are an underclass.

Time to camp on SCOTUS lawns.

Sorry, I sometimes forget that other folks aren't as close to this as I am. Microsoft signed a legally binding card check labor neutrality agreement with the Communications Workers of America, an international union serving the US and Canada. Under the terms of the agreement, all management must remain neutral in regards to unionizing and must direct questions about unions to worker organizers. Additionally the neutrality agreement also means that when workers petition for recognition, the company will voluntarily recognize the union after a 2 week card check vote (union authorization card signatures and direct yes votes together count for yes)

This one has gone far too long without their share of the brain cell. I love them

Excellent, first the workers at Activision immediately jump on the neutrality agreement, and now a second group of Zenimax workers are immediately testing their neutrality too. Gotta love it. It certainly feels weird that the biggest company in the world is labor neutral

More like, I will have sex with romantic partners if they want it but I won't ever go asking them for sex. I'm completely disinterested in sex with strangers. I tried to dance around it because some folks find the discussion gross, but an additional aspect to being ace for me is that it doesn't feel much different from masturbating. I still have libido, so both of those are just ways of handling a natural part of being human

I only recently started to realize that myself actually. Even growing up with LGBT+ folks exploding in visibility, it was always in the direction of allosexual folks. I grew up being conditioned to believe whatever I felt about sex should be ignored and that I should seek it out.

What I've realized is that I'm not sex-adverse like I assumed ace folks would be, I just don't care or think about it. I also don't get the hype around sex. That's also a valid asexual outlook. Some day I do want to be a dad though, so I need the very same family planning resources that are currently being chipped away.

The only reason I haven't is because I'm ace, so nothing's happening until I intentionally attempt for kids

Is that why Republican members of Congress recently stated that IVF should be banned?

All you phonies bound to lose. Fascists get fucked, the LGBT+ community isn't going anywhere.

That's the real crime. Leaders can be old. Workers should never be forced to be old.

My head canon is that it's a power play since Homer is a union steward

We all know that the Communists Have the Music, but there's a problem that I don't believe is talked about enough. It's an unfortunate reality that music meant to carry leftist messages are not mainstream and therefore hard to find if you don't know where to look. I also have a vast collection of music I think should be shared far and wide. This has led me to create !leftymusic@lemmy.world so these songs can be more readily found and shared. Come by and share some songs you know!

Ok so I got this idea not while showering, but because I'm very high. The story does come from my bathroom though! I have a night light in my bathroom, and I was looking at the night light as I turned off the bathroom light. I'm a big nerd so I remembered that the things that detect light levels are actually diodes wired in reverse. I thought it would be funny to make it flicker by reflecting the light back on the diode, but it didn't work. That's when I had this realization

I refuse to link to that hellsite, so I did folks a favor and took a screenshot.

For those that don't know, CODE-CWA is the Campaign to Organize Digital Employees, ran by the bottom-up international union Communication Workers of America. Microsoft had previously signed a card-check labor neutrality agreement with CWA, as the ABK Workers Alliance is actively coordinating with CODE

I like to think that I'm a very knowledgeable organizer, so if folks want some advice ask me in the comments!

I'm firmly on the side of "water is not wet" in this debate, but it's a question that I was asked while I was high and have no answer to it. Water cannot itself be wet because you can't get water on water. However, what is a fish in a lake? It can't be wet until it's taken out of the water, but it's not dry either. Is it something else?
