shame that a lot of tumblr didn't learn their lesson about treating moderate progress as worse than regression from the russian op scandal.
if someone is writing about politics in a way that makes you angry about progress in the right direction because it didn't go far enough? do not fucking trust that person.
why do they want you angry about progress? why aren't they sharing ways to help us progress further, but instead just bemoaning how far we haven't gotten? do not fucking trust people who want you emotionally raw and helping no one.
I'd just like to chip in on the issue of global warming in particular that what's at stake is the total number of megatonnes of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Small reductions in emissions that don't go anywhere near far enough are still better, in absolute terms, than no reductions at all, or than in an increase in emissions. It's not an all-or-nothing sort of crisis.
'can i copy your homework?'
'yeah just don't make it obvious'
Reminder that this is an experiment as per their official announcement (screenshot below).
Since this is an experiment, give your feedback to staff!
And remember to be specific on how this new navigation layout they are experimenting with is not working for you; hating it is one thing, but usability on different devices with different screen orientations, operating system, etc., would be much more impactful and meaningful.
My contempt towards a brand is directly proportional to how often they interrupt my playlists.
Yes, this. I don't care if the alternative is 20% more expensive. These days (read for past 5 or so years since i landed a decently paying job) I am willing and ready to pay for a pricier alternative i have never heard of before based solely on the fact that adds are annoying af and add paying companies can go and burn all their money for nothing as far as i care.
hey @staff this is a bad look lmao
guys why do you think we come to tumblr for...... the twitter experience??
but wait! it gets worse!
[text transcript: why is the activity pane blocking the dashboard. it didn't do that before]
[text transcript: oh good i'll just open a chatbox and have it appear (insert big long arrow across the screen) way over here. this is so seamless compared to when these features were closer. so not jarring at all /s]
@staff why do you not listen to real feedback from the userbase and instead copy twitter's homework and doing it incredibly awfully even
UPS has reached an agreement with the Teamsters union to equip its iconic brown delivery trucks with air conditioning for the first time for new units.
The agreement, announced by UPS on Tuesday, comes as the delivery giant and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters negotiate the terms of a new contract for more than 330,000 U.S. employees. (source)
Unions work, unionize.
They only just now got air conditioners?!?!?!
Yeah it’s a huge win. Those trucks are death traps on a good day. A bunch of drivers died and more got severely ill last year from heat stroke. The temperature in the back of those vans is usually 10 degrees hotter than outside. It’s terrible, and I’m so proud of my union for how harshly they’re negotiating right now. We’ve got a bunch of smaller consessions already but this one was big.
This round of negotiations is difficult. The UPS Overlords are trying very hard to keep their billions of dollars in three pockets instead of spreading the wealth we (the workers) earned for them during the pandemic’s influx of home delivery. They’re trying to give us as little as possible and spinning the news articles to make it look like they’re super generous. Meanwhile almost everyone in my warehouse is on food stamps cuz we aren’t paid shit.
The UPS Teamsters Union are currently voting on whether or not to go on strike in August, so prepare for that. Stock up on essential supplies, just in case. We’ll let everyone know how to support us when the time comes.
This job is my first time being part of a union and I never wanna go back to not having one. It’s amazing to have so much fighting power.
🎶 Solidarity Forever!! 🎶
We gotta take care of each other. It’s the only way to make the world better.
Solidarity Forever!!
