My "100% Australian wool" is "made in China". They shipped this stuff halfway around the world, spun it, dyed it, then shipped it back. Every time I see shit like this I'm reminded of how absurd it is that worldwide wage inequality makes this the most cost effective solution.

TIL “Yankee Doodle” was written by the British to mock americans. “Doodle” is thought to come from the German “dödel”, meaning “fool” or “simpleton” and “macaroni,” a flamboyantly stylish type of dress, painting the Yankees as morons who thought placing a feather in one’s cap made them a “dandy.”

"When you’re in a fight as bitter and as important as this one, against an enemy, so much bigger, so much stronger than you - well. To find out that you have a friend you never knew existed - It’s the best thing in the world."

Seems like a revisionist narrative about the lockdowns are emerging where a simplistic “stayed home and did stupid hobbies” versus “worked shit jobs during a pandemic before vaccines” binary is presented and I want to challenge that binary by reminding you that tens of millions of workers lost their jobs at that time which ignited a multi-year problem with rental debts, evictions, poverty and homelessness.

It feels like people are conflating “stayed at home” with “worked at home because they had a middle class office job” and I want to remind you tens of millions of working people lost their jobs at that time which resulted in a consequential rise in homelessness, etc. And jumping off what I saw a friend say, for those workers staying home it wasn’t “fun” it was isolating and terrifying.
