I mean just LOOK at those socialized nations in Scandinavia, with their short workdays and leisure time and partaking of legal recreational drugs.  Horrors!

Weird thing about Kahlo is that she’s been so thoroughly decontextualized and glossed into little cartoony caricatures that you can go nearly your entire life, being taught about her in school even, before learning that she was a committed revolutionary communist for her entire adult life.

I have a friend who had fertility issues and is convinced that the reason we’re having less babies at later ages is because plastic and toxins are rotting our body from the inside out. Not, you know, the majors reasons that make her confront her significant privilege.

The economy may have “ bounced back” in some areas but as someone who had just graduated school and beginning my career like s good girl when I lost my job 2007 and scrambled with temping, going back to foodservice and multiple part time jobs in other industries I lost the most valuable earning years and industry…

Parents who refuse to vaccinate should have their kids taken away, end of story.

The “Fitness Candy” trend really annoys me as it comes from the same kind of marketing BS that results in highly sugary juice being a “fruit source” and part of a healthy diet. Its not, its just a REALLY expensive snack bar that is barely better then a regular chocolate bar.

EAT THE RICH. Are we waiting for someone to hand us a spoon or something?

“What bugs me is this insistence that you HAVE to like it.”

Needs more cowbell

I’m glad her SF record is starting to come out. When she was DA in SF, she was all about the “tough love” policies like this. She was a corporate, pro-cop DA, end of story. While I’ve enjoyed her work holding Trump’s people’s feet to the fire in the senate, she is not the progressive dream that some paint her to be.

Please let me know how you force a 17-year-old that’s twice your size to attend school when he refuses to go because I could really use that help.

Oh, boy.

“rugged individualism” and the “self-made man” mythology that permeates our culture.  Add in a sprinkling of just world hypothesis and the Protestant work ethic - if you’re rich you’re good and if you’re poor you must just be lazy - and this is what you get.

I’ll never understand the American workers willingness to trust in the humanity of one rich asshole over the efforts of a union or even elected officials in government.

I think of it this way: It’s totally fine for capital to collude and set prices for their goods and services, but when labor does it for their labor, that’s somehow bad and wrong.

Yep. Or universal health care or subsidized child care or any kind of social safety net. Having children has become a luxury of the rich.
