If you're expecting your employee to fix a mistake that's costing you millions, then they deserve a very significant cut of it.
If they were being fair, they'd ask for half, which would be $9 million. But they didn't even ask for that. They asked for a raise, which would probably be a few thousand a year. And you couldn't even give them that.
gotta give this a reread but yes orwell wanted to express that revolution as a concept is a reactionary solution to the oppression incited by the ruling class while in the same vein acknowledging that there is no right or wrong way to protest the actions of the 1% BECAUSE they hold the power in the dynamic regardless of what action is taken.
the only way to take efficient action against such a force is to make the ruling class the minority and then pray to the heavens that the masses and majority may persevere over that minority. but we may not ever truly see that in full effect because unfortunately, if we didn't have any asshole 1%-ers in the world the good would simply be balanced out with some other type of evil. yk the whole, yin-yang, dark and light, order and chaos spiel ur gonna hear from me every damn time.
very funny to me when people act like animal farm and 1984 are revolutionary anti government texts that the Powers That Be dont want you to read when they have literally been a part of every standard middle/highschool english lit cirriculum in the usa and beyond for decades. precisely because theyre such convenient primers to propagandize that Commies = Bad. the government is quite literally making kids read them

Hey! π
I hope you're doing well.
IIβm reaching out with something really close to my heart. A dear friend and his family are going through an incredibly hard time.
They urgently need support, and even the smallest act of kindness β a share or donation β could make a life changing difference.
This is about compassion, about standing by each other when it matters most. π
Thank you so much for taking a moment to care π

hey friend, i've added Mohammed's link to my carrd linked to all my socials, i cant donate right now but i know someone out there can.
i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"

I might be the only one sitting on this rock but
Dean Winchester as a cheerleader, but he's not cool or sexy about it. He's just really fucking aggressive. Like he doesn't do the flips or the dancing or any typical cheerleader stuff
He holds a megaphone, paints his face, knows every player's name, and occasionally wears the mascot uniform and cheers his heart out because that's his baby brother on the field! That guy? The tall dude with the floppy hair? That's his baby brother right there, and you're gonna watch him win goddamn it
He gets the crowd riled up. He throws candy at them. He gets them to cheer, scream, and boost morale for the team
And one day, resident weirdo Castiel gets signed up for the cheer team by his brother Gabriel to cheer on his other brother Michael
And I just need him to be so uncomfortably intimidated by how intense Dean is about this job. Cas doesn't get it. He doesn't understand the point of it and tells Dean that Dean's constant yelling is getting on his nerves
And that pisses Dean off so then he makes it his personal mission to prove that what he does makes a difference...
by cheering Castiel on in everything he does in the most aggressive way possible
Enemies to lovers, but they both genuinely hate each other in the most low-stakes situation possible
Lighter than a butterfly...
this is perhaps evil but I can boost my mood in almost any situation by playing a game called "what was my mom doing at this age?" like rn for instance I'm sleepy because I had a 12 hour work day + stayed up late, and my stomach hurts a little from the enormous chimichanga I smashed for dinner, and my head hurts a little bit from the fat margaritas I had with the chimichanga. and it's like hmm, okay, not optimal, but when my mom was this age she had a 2.5 year old to deal with. can you fucking imagine. can't stay in bed decadently bemoaning your overindulgences because there's a goblin in the next room that's utterly dependent on you for food and hygiene and social needs and if you drop the ball you've fucked up a perfectly good person. and I'm pretty normal so shout out to her for keeping it together but god that couldn't be me, I like fucking around way too much.
On April 16th 2025 the US federal government has proposed to change the interpretation of the endangered species act so that it no longer protects habitat.
This is open for public comment until the end of May 19th. Please comment and make your voice heard.
Wildlife need their habitat. If the ESA redefines harm so that habitat is no longer protected, the implications for wildlife would be catastrophic.
