Horrible fact of the day: Chevron just released a new boat fuel that WILL give you cancer.

Not "might", not "could", WILL. It has a cancer ratio of 1.3:1, as in, in a group of 10 people, 10 would contract CANCER.

(Edit: apparently some articles are now saying 1.4:1, and some are saying a little under that. Either way, the consensus seems to be anywhere between a 95-100+% of contracting cancer, with some expectations of this fuel not even needing a full lifetime of exposure for you to get Cancer.)

The EPA's safety limit is 1:1,000,000 as in 1 in a million people get cancer.

The EPA approved it anyways. I am not joking. The EPA approved a boat fuel that has a near 100% chance of giving someone cancer. It has such a good chance of giving someone cancer that if you DIDN'T get cancer YOU WOULD BE AN OUTLIER.

Fuck the oil industries.

Edit: If you find this (rightfully) horrifying, have you considered industrial sabotage? /hj

This isn't something we can vote away. This isn't something the rich are gonna apologize and make a 10 minute apology video for this. They don't care if you starve or wither in hospitals or get blown up in their wars.

If you don't know where to get started:

If you already know what to do, then it's time to do it. Participate in mutual aid, raise awareness in real life as well as online, participate in or train in self defense and emergency medical training classes.

Conservative: Capitalism gives us so much freedom!

Capitalism: Pay to eat

Capitalism: Pay to drink

Capitalism: Pay to have a roof over your head

Capitalism: Pay to get medical help

Capitalism: Pay to have a social life

Capitalism: Pay. To. Stay. Alive

Conservative: I'm so fucking free, y'all.

There are UBI advocates who say that UBI won't make people work less. And I think if it doesn't make people work less than it isn't enough.

And no this doesn't mean all reforms are bad or whatever. Rosa doesn't moralize in her analysis, she just points at the shortcomings of reformism as a primary strategy.

"We know that the present State is not 'society' representing the 'rising working class.' It is itself the representative of capitalist society. It is a class state. Therefore its reform measures are not an application of 'social control,' that is, the control of society working freely in its own labour process. They are forms of control applied by the class organisation of Capital to the production of Capital. The so-called social reforms are enacted in the interests of Capital." - Rosa Luxemburg, Reform or Revolution?

If it wasn't for humans writing on the walls we wouldn't know our stories. Fuck this dull world, vandalize the buildings that keep us caged. Graffiti is the purest communication with the future.

"Money can't buy happiness" is a privileged statement which ignores the fact that food, safety, healthcare, hygiene, housing, and other things directly tied to happiness require money under capitalism.

I’m a firm believer in the passive and small acts of activism.

You’re actively fighting capitalism by resting and taking a break. You’re actively fighting homophobia by wearing a rainbow pin to signify to others your allyship. You’re actively fighting climate change by air drying your hands after washing them. You’re actively fighting childism by letting a minor talk to you about how they’re doing. You’re actively fighting oppressive systems by simply existing.

There have always been others like you, and there always will be others like you. Your existence is rebellion. As long as you’re alive, conservatives and bigots have lost.

You’re a rebel. You’re a warrior. You’re a fighter. And you don’t even know it.

Happy May-Day to the punks, commies, and anarchists celebrating!
