Democracy is supposed to have more than one viable political party, no corrupt credit systems everyone is forced into, taxes that go to healthcare, infrastructure and other useful things. Etc. Just because a country decides to call a capitalist system democracy doesn't mean democracy has failed.
Slightly Howling (@slightlyhowling.bsky.social) reply parent
Neither should run rampant. Business runs on money, not benefit to citizens even in ideal form. Governments are supposed to work for people. They are just corrupt.
Slightly Howling (@slightlyhowling.bsky.social) reply parent
People don't consider others. Things only mean something if it happens to them.
Slightly Howling (@slightlyhowling.bsky.social) reply parent
The solution would be better wages, better worker protections, smarter financial plan etc. Not markets running rampant.

Gotta hit mail and transport, too, as many countries just closed down delivery of things there completely.

CW: pet death, issues with parents. It can be so demoralising that my mom has to take her shit out on me. I'm doing everything to comfort her. Then she yells at me, and I get upset, and she acts like me being upset is an attack. Won't apologise. As if I didn't just witness our dog dying.

I follow a left wing Youtuber, and it drives me mad, that for all his important political work, he keeps acting fat phobic. Why is it such a huge deal what size people are? He doesn't actively fat shame others. But the constant "are you calling me fat?" just turns his other opinions to dirt.
Slightly Howling (@slightlyhowling.bsky.social)
CW: pet death I feel like I'm in bit of a purgatory, as in fifteen minutes we leave with dad to take our dog to her last vet visit. We feel good about the timing, as we do not want her to suffer. Her hips and legs are failing her, and she has been suffering from dementia for a while. Old lady. ❤️

If it wasn't such a racist move to use another language like that, I might take a silly one on purpose. " I'm sorry about us white people". Or something.

Awesome. Gotta read it. Hope this is ok to ask. If not, please ignore. I would appreciate a recommendation for a good collection of Lorde's work, as I'm not finding info on that. I have read pieces in different places. Wish I could dig through American bookstores in person for the separate items.

It's an access issue. We want stories from any and all walks of life. But everyone doesn't have access to free libraries or money to buy a billion books. There is a difference in academic or personal interest and what we absolutely need for something to be a valid cultural product.

"For generations, Black farmers have been left out of subsidies, loans, and access to land. The USDA didn’t serve Black farmers… Only 1.4% of U.S. farmers today are Black. In 1920, it was 14%. In Ohio, it’s less than 1%. From 16 million acres owned by Black families, we’re now down to scraps." 🌱

What I'm saying is, that I understand places with older buildings have more challenges. We all need better laws for building.
Slightly Howling (@slightlyhowling.bsky.social) reply parent
I have a severely ill friend who lives in an old building there. It looks beautiful, but gets so hot. We build for cold winters in Finland, so we will get more issues over time, too. But luckily at least in newer rentals they have proper ventilation. Your stock is much older, too. Not so easy.

Yeah. And it's pushed by abusers to hide things, such as their own connection to the abuse. Anything to stop people from openly discussing anything and learning.
Slightly Howling (@slightlyhowling.bsky.social) reply parent
I think it's a sign of propaganda that people read ill of the dead as true bad things the person did. Pretty catastrophic for that to be such a majority take. It obviously means not to lie about people who can't defend themselves. Admittedly the Latin transl. seems to play a part. (Chilon of Sparta)

Obviously this is more than just embarrassing. @yle.naamio.social is the lapdog of a horrifically unqualified populist right wing mess that calls itself a government. Other nations should boycot us for travel for this. We are going down in history as genocide denying trash.
Slightly Howling (@slightlyhowling.bsky.social)
The way Finland's national broadcaster @yle.naamio.social writes about Israelis liking Finnish Lapland for travel for the fact that Finland is not recognising Palestine, and is not officially criticising Israel, with zero mention of the reason for criticism being GENOCIDE is wildly enbarrassing.

Rebeka needs $302 as soon as possible! Can 30 people give $10 right now? If they don't keep up with the minimum payments on their medical bills, the hospital won't allow them to incur more medical debt (i.e. they'll send them home once they're stable not once they're BETTER)
