IBEW member here… the union has what’s known as the referral system, where any member may sign a work book and then put a bid in on any available job. The system works though an app where you get to see a list of all currently unfilled openings and see information like jobsite location, employer, hours of work, duration etc. and then you put in a bid for whatever job looks best for you and if you are the highest person on the book, you are dispatched to that job. If you don’t like your boss, go sign the books, get a new job, and that’s it. No notice, no interviews, no references, your benefits are through the union also so your employer literally has no leverage over you… it feels right.

Here’s the current package. The wage column is the “on the check” wage before taxes, after benefits.

Sigur Ros, Mogwai, Boards of Canada

21% of US adults (over 43 million people) are illiterate/functionally illiterate.

There’s been a legitimacy crisis for a long time, but now white people are being affected, so it’s “new.”

Because we live in a sick society that has normalized violence up to/including social murder (the US “healthcare” system.) Corporal punishment is highly correlated to socioeconomic status.

Looks like a self-portrait

Eating, living indoors, and making it to the bathroom on time.

Someone who is drawn to the idea of leftism, but cant really see past the context of domestic US politics… communist imagery grafted onto LBJ, Carter and Bernie Sanders like a fancy hood ornament on a shitty car… no token of solidarity with oppressed people in other parts of the world that I noticed.
