Vera writes things. Sometimes they're real. Sometimes they're not. You might have read some of it already, in fact. If you ask her a question, she might even answer it.

So, now that Tumblr is banning “adult stuff” (ie, anything even vaguely queer) and the site is prooooobably gonna die, I’m probably going to be spending a lot more time on Pillowfort. I’m Bellwether over there, if you happen to have an invite, so feel free to give me a follow — I’d really love to be able to cultivate a dash as nice as the one I have here.
Fuckin’ SESTA/FOSTA, ruining social media more than social media was already ruining social media.

In 1997, two composers created ‘The Most Unwanted Song’ by issuing a public opinion survey and compiling all the lyrical and musical elements that most people found annoying. It combines a harp, accordion, out-of-tune children singing about Christmas and Walmart, high-pitched flutes, tubas, keyboard demos, someone yelling random political terms through a megaphone, and an operatic soprano rapping over cowboy music, bagpipes, and screams. It’s 22 minutes long. Source Source 2

I honestly don’t understand why there aren’t more people who, when given the platform to discuss minimum wage, don’t simply distill it to the simplest of facts:
A forty hour work week is considered full time.
It’s considered as such because it takes up the amount of time we as a society have agreed should be considered the maximum work schedule required of an employee. (this, of course, does not always bear out practically, but just follow me here)
A person working the maximum amount of time required should earn enough for that labor to be able to survive. Phrased this way, I doubt even most conservatives could effectively argue against it, and out of the mouth of someone verbally deft enough to dance around the pathos-based jabs conservative pundits like to use to avoid actually debating, it could actually get opps thinking.
Therefore, if an employee is being paid less than [number of dollars needed for the post-tax total to pay for the basic necessities in a given area divided by forty] per hour, they are being ripped off and essentially having their labor, productivity, and profit generation value stolen by their employer.
Wages are a business expense, and if a company cannot afford to pay for its labor, it is by definition a failing business. A company stealing labor to stay afloat (without even touching those that do so simply to increase profit margins and/or management/executive pay/bonuses) is no more ethical than a failing construction company breaking into a lumber yard and stealing wood.
Our goal as a society should be to protect each other, especially those that most need protection, not to subsidize failing businesses whose owners could quite well subsidize them on their own.

Me: Finally, I understand this whole “unit” thing!
My Wife: I don’t think that’s what “unit” actually means, honey.
Me: Nope. Too late. There was an infographic. I’m 35 and this is the only way I can understand tumblr anymore.
every cat exists on a sliding scale of ‘unit’ to ‘goblin’ with exotic longhairs and oriental shorthairs both being on the extreme yet opposite ends of the spectrum
