Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.

If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

It's absolutely WILD how routinely self-avowed superfans of hard science and modern technology IMMEDIATELY default to magical thinking, and don't consider that a red flag at all.

"Excited to see what CHatGPT thinks about-" IT DOESN'T THINK!!! It's not a mind!

The lore implications are very interesting.

In time there may be a fifth.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Censorship is now coming for your dnd and your warhammer and your farming sim, they don't care if it's not adult content. They wanted everything

2.) Furry communities have insane labor and market power and we may need to start organizing guilds/unions for fursuit makers to combat corporate exploitation. Companies are scared of our power and the fact that we don't need them.

If you’re a working artist talking to other creatives I’m begging you to not hide this. I have a parter who makes more and I don’t hide that and try to be as open as I can especially one on one. It’s cruel to not be honest with your fellow artist and give them any kind of false hope or fear

There is no separating art from artist here my guys she’s taking the all the money she makes and is putting it into transphobic legislation

There is no “separating art from artist”
When they’re being actively a super villain

This is a really vulnerable time for paypro call centers. It's already been reported that Mastercard is stressed by our persistence

I know we're all busy around this time too but let's fire the engines 🔥

A three quarter front view photograph of an ellipsidion cockroach nymph looking very small on the big green leaf it stands on. The little roach is shaped like a flat oval, each segment of its body a slightly curved plate. Each plate is a shiny black edges in a dark red. The top of its head and thorax plate has some off-white dusted on the edges, and the rest of the plates down to its abdomen are edged with thin lines and dotted lines.

LOOK AT THIS CUTIE!!!! it has little dotted lines🥹

A spiny lobster, a large crustacean with thick antennae, spines, and no claws.

A little bit of lobster action, anyone?

NOBODY DESERVES TO GO HUNGRY

Happy Halloween, everyone!

"if you're poor you should constantly endure humiliation rituals and ridicule for your circumstances" is such a ghoulish stance to take and yet countless people loudly and proudly declare it

Bluesky has NO ALGORITHM.
Likes are PRIVATE by default.
If you enjoy someone's content, you've GOT to get used to circulating it.
The point of social media is to be SOCIAL.
It's literally just a 2nd button press; please help artists out by hitting reblog, too! Likes are nice, reblogs get exposure!

Some demographics:

48% of SNAP recipients work full time. 39% of SNAP recipients are kids. 20% of SNAP recipients are seniors.

And this will disproportionately affect folks from marginalized groups which are already getting attacked and beaten down from every direction right now.

“I think they are a profoundly antisocial technology that should be rejected in every way possible,” said Gilliard. “Their very existence is toxic to the social fabric." It’s still up in the air whether Meta’s gamble on glasses will pay off. Beyond their horrifying privacy implications, wearable AI-powered devices like Bee and Friend so far have proven more obnoxious than useful, and it’s unclear whether people who buy them will even want to use them. But one thing many privacy experts agree on is that even if we can’t change the law, we can change peoples’ attitudes around consent. “One way to think about it is protecting your community and the people you care about,” said Gilliard. “When you’re wearing these glasses, when you use your video doorbell, when you record everyone’s conversations, you’re not just surveilling yourself. And there’s no consistent and foolproof way to guarantee that information won’t be used against people you care about — to hurt trans and queer people, or hurt immigrant communities. I wish people would think about it in those terms instead of ‘did my package get delivered.’”

call them whatever you like, the reality is 'smart glasses' are surveillance devices designed by tech companies to violate consent and rewrite social norms. social shaming is still a more effective a deterrent than the law. @hypervisible.blacksky.app

What did people do before SNAP?”

They died.

Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival.

They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore

The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.
