Vintage on disability rights.

Don’t let the black and white trick you. The Capitol Crawl was in 1990. This is not ancient history.

This was in 1990.

This was thirty years ago.

Disabled people are still having to fight for basic rights. Schools and businesses still try to exclude us, through any means they can devise.

We’re not done.

We’re really at this point of the dystopia, huh

I thought this was a joke but wow no Trump really actually did threaten to shut down Twitter because it “silences conservative voices,” a claim inspired by the fact that Twitter attached a fact-check to a couple of his tweets.

Unions are trash. Theyll Destroy a whole company for firing a shitty worker.

unions are the reason you aren’t paid 2.50 an hour with steel beams about to bust ya head open shut up lol

Unions are why you have 5 day, 40 hour full-time work weeks. Unions are why they have to pay you in actual dollars instead of “company credits” that you can only spend at the company-owned stores. Unions are why there are fucking fire exits at your place of work. Unions are why it’s not okay for your supermarket ground beef to be any percentage human.

You think your company pays you out of the goodness of their hearts? Or even out of “market pressure?” The “job market” is a myth perpetuated by the capitalists. Corporations would pay you nothing if they could get away with it. And you argue “oh, but if they paid me nothing I’d just go to another one.” Wrong. Because to maximize profits, they all want to pay you nothing. Corporations exist to maximize profits while reducing risk for investors. It’s part of their entire function to find ways to cut costs as much as possible, and that includes finding ways to pay you nothing.

Unions are your defense against that. You think all a union does is strike? If you pay union dues, a lot of that is spent on lobbyists in various governments reminding your lawmakers that you have rights as a living human being that a corporation should not be able to stomp all over. Unions hire lawyers so that if you’re fired for bullshit reasons, the union can stand up for you against your boss. They’re called unions because workers are uniting to pool resources so that they can stand up to these corporate overlords with more money than God. Unions exist because you might not have the words, resources, or time to fight workplace injustices all by yourself. That’s the whole fucking point.

And if a business shuts down because a union is striking, it’s because the business was abusing people and didn’t deserve to be in business anyway. Don’t make excuses for the corporations. They already have trillions of dollars and a couple million lawyers to do that for themselves. They don’t need your help.

The erasure of labor history from US history curriculum has caused so much fucking damage to this country. 

Imagine thinking corporations and the rich are your friend and care about you lmao.

Legally Blonde (2001) dir. Robert Luketic

#i don’t wan to be Too Deep with this#but i always liked this little moment#because Warner is trying to imply that marilyn is a lesser woman than jackie#as if all women are one of two things. and one of those things is ‘better’#but elle seems confused because she just sees them as two women#or at least doesn’t see why marilyn would be ‘worth’ less than jackie#or something like that#and therefore their main difference comes down to something simple#something dumb#and her mind concludes it must be#their hair color#and that might not be what the scene was trying to do at all#but that’s how i see it so#….#legally blonde#elle woods said marilyn deserves just as much respect as jackie (via @kaiayame​)

I actually think this is exactly the point of the scene. Warner clearly thinks of Marilyn as gorgeous but dumb and Jackie as smart but less sexy. But we’re in this movie from Elle’s point of view. And Elle doesn’t understand Warner’s implication here because, to her, both these women are successful and beautiful and amazing. The only difference is one is blonde and the other is a brunette. 

This scene isn’t trying to make Elle look stupid, because the point of the movie is that she’s not. She’s just incredibly, unabashedly feminine. And Elle’s way of thinking here is right. The main difference between Marilyn and Jackie, that Warner would know of and therefore could be alluding to, that is also something Marilyn and Elle have in common with each other, is their hair colour. 

This is also a great point because people like to think Marilyn Monroe was vapid and dumb due to her film roles but she was actually incredibly intelligent and also just a great person all around, just like how Elle might seem dumb but is able to get into law school on her own merit. Neither should be underestimated!
