I fell down the rabbit hole

Now that NYT/FX have made documentaries on Britney & Janet I hope that they make a documentary on The Chicks. Because the backlash and death threats those women received deserve a revisit.

There’s a great documentary called Shut Up & Sing about them. Check it out.

Lets go bitches

This picture stared at me in the women's bathroom

this picture demanded to know whether or not i plan to get The Surgery

This picture has a stroller for their dog

This picture offered me essential oils and told me vaccines would poison my child.

this picture judged who i am based off of how many layers of clothing i’m wearing

this picture just called ICE on their neighbor, and then called their mom and talked about how good the pastor’s sermon on loving your neighbor was

This picture just called the homeowners association on me

Okay but this is the tweet I saw and I wouldn't normally go to bat for people I don't know, but they seem to actually be pretty genuine people who tend to stay in their own lanes, and are at the very least good sports about it.

This is wholesome

Plot twist lmao

Caitlin Covington is truly a wonderful person, and such a good sport when it comes to the jokes. When lasagnabby came out as trans, Caitlin reposted the gofundme and donated 500 dollars to her transition fund.

So, this hasn't crossed my dash yet. (Not blaming anyone, there is soooo much going on in the world and I'd also missed it in the noise).

There is currently a strike at Frito-Lay. in Topeka. These workers are striking because:

They were being forced to work 84 hour weeks. The company's best offer so far is a 60 hour cap. This is shit we fought for a century ago, people.

Their generous offer also includes a whole 4 percent wage increase...over the next 2 years. I'm not sure what COL is in Topeka, but... Well, it's better than the entire 77 cents they've apparently gotten in the last decade.

There's also a report that a worker literally collapsed and dropped dead on the line and the foreman's response was to make them move the body out of the way and put in a replacement. (However, this is unconfirmed and, of course, the company denies it).

There have been multiple OSHA violations at this plant over the last few years, including a forklift accident that's under investigation.

They've now been striking since July 5 but, of course, it only hit the national media yesterday.

So, why am I signal boosting this?

Because Frito-Lay is refusing to budge. They are attempting to make the excuse that union leadership agreed to the 60 hour work week and crappy pay cut...when union leadership only agreed to put it to a vote.

And this means that we need to put the thumbscrews on them. Remember, this is about 19th century style working conditions.

So, I'm calling on my followers to boycott Frito Lay's until the strike is involved.

Frito-Lay owns:

Lay's

Doritos (Sorry. I really am. I KNOW there's no good alternative to Doritos, although Zapp's are good if you can find them).

Fritos

Tostitos

Cheetos

Ruffles

Sun Chips

Baken-ets

Chester's

Cracker Jack

Islen plantain chips

Funyuns

Grandma's (the cookies)

Matador Meat Snacks

Maui style potato chips

Miss Vickie's

Munchies

Munchos

Rolled Gold

Sabritones

Santitas

Simply

Smartfood

Stacys

The Walking Taco

NatuChips

PopCorners (this one wasn't on their website, but was bought by Pepsi's in 2019 with the intent of adding it. So best avoided just in case). Yes, this really is more than half of the snack aisle. Suggested alternatives:

Kettle Brand Chips

Zapp's (If you can find them. My supermarket had them once and not since, so I'm guessing the culinary cowards in this neighborhood were afraid of "Voodoo" flavored chips).

Pringles

On the Border for salsa.

Wise Cheez Doodles

Bugles

Utz

Store own brand alternatives, if your store has ones that are any good.

Cheez-its

Check before you buy and let's tell these people they don't get to treat workers like that.

This was posted on FB recently by someone supporting the strike!

People give what they need.

On April 1st, you trick. On October 31, half a year later, you treat.

Friendly reminder that Caitlyn Jenner is a horrible human being and friends with Trump so to all my Californian friends do not vote for her because she will seek to undo any and all progress in the state that does not directly benefit her and her billionaire friends.

I saw an article from nbc calling her a "transgender activist" and i just want ppl to know thats a product of cis ppl thinking that being trans alone counts as activism. Shes not an activist, shes not going to help trans ppl, shes going to hurt them along with many other minority groups like she really very much is our enemy. Not to sound like a meme but trans activists hate her
