today’s family debate is bagels. so, I’ll ask the question:

what is the best bagel flavor

plain

sesame

poppyseed

everything

whole wheat

egg

cinnamon raisin

I don’t eat bagels

more than one

other (share in the tags)

shocked and appalled that sesame and poppy are in the single digits sesame is objectively the best you all are just wrong toasted sesame with a schmear of veggie (or better yet olive) cream cheese now we're cooking with gas baby had to look up asiago bagel and i'm scoffing ppl in the tags acting like anything panera bread wrought can stand next to authentic bagel goodness outta here jfc everything are overpowering imo - gotta put them in a separate bag if you're getting a dozen or they taint everything

Oh and that fucking crab day post sends shivers down my spine btw. I say this as someone who owns multiple pieces of tumblr merch — support them if you want, or don’t, I don’t care, but we are NOT turning a tech corporation into our poor little wet meow meow who deserves all our money uwu. We are NOT pressuring normal ass people into donating to resolve a company’s millions in debt as if it’s some important charitable cause.

bro fr i say this as an adfree subscriber we're telling them why we stay here and what gets us to shell out and they're actively doing everything hostile to the engaged userbase it sucks that they're ruining the one mildly tolerable place left but that's on them this isn't like ao3 where we own and can democratically make choices as to how this is run they're taking our money and using it to make this place bad

How I sleep at night knowing that Ted Lasso season 3 had an episode called The Strings That Bind Us, centered around the metaphor of the red string of fate, structured like a romcom, with an opening scene directly stolen from You've Got Mail (x), soundtrack and all; and in this episode Ted complimented a guy's head of hair and said that something frames another guy's face nicely and that out of multiple men, the clean shaven one was his favourite; meanwhile Trent did not mutter one word in the direction of anyone who wasn't Ted, but had multiple conversations with Ted that called back to their scenes in previous seasons, all of this leading up to a chase scene in the last third of the episode, which obviously references the Race for Your Love trope (x)(x). Oh, and when the question "What's with the red string?" was posed to Ted, the camera immediately cut to Trent wearing a bracelet made of red string.

"To make matters worse, the Teamsters’ motivations to strike are being emboldened by misinformation and mischaracterizations, especially the idea that UPS’s treatment of part-time employees is somehow reason enough to strike."

I want this man to be thrown into a labor camp when the revolution comes.

I just looked this guy up. The newspaper is very much hiding what he actually did at the company.

As usual, the media will walk hand-in-hand with the forces of capitalism to make sure the worker stays down.

a screenshot of a tweet from vox, reading: "A 10-day UPS strike would cost the economy more than $7 billion and be the costliest work stoppage in at least a century, according to a new study by Anderson Economic Group, which researches labor disruptions." below it is a link to vox's article, titled: "A UPS Strike? In This Economy?" the image attached to the link is of a picketer holding a brown, yellow, and white sign that is partially cropped. the sign reads: "JUST PRACTICING FOR A JUST CONTRACT" behind the man is a large inflatable pig, dressed as a capitalist/exec holding a bag marked with a $ in one hand-- hoof-- and strangling a figure dressed like a ups driver in the other.ALT
a screenshot of a tweet from @Left_Voice that reads: "A reminder that many UPS workers in New York, the country's most expensive city, earn just $15.50 an hour.   You can't pursue your passions when you can barely make ends meet. #StrikeReady" the tweet quoted below it is from the official ups twitter, reading: "College? Cooking? Entrepreneurship?  Our industry-leading pay & benefits allow our people to pursue their passions. From healthcare coverage, retirement pensions, tuition assistance... the list goes on. But, we'll let our people tell the story in their own words. ⬇" below that is a still from the video linked with ups' tweet, but it's been cropped.ALT
a screenshot of a tweet from @BenFredericks, reading: "As a fired UPS working still trying to get my job back, I stand in full solidarity with the righteous fight for a $25/hour minimum starting wage, particularly for warehouse workers who bust their asses in sweatshop conditions.  #strike #Equality #25orStrike" the tweet quoted below is from @LuigiWMorris (who also tweeted the video of the practice picket from within the ups warehouse) reading, "UPS part-timers are ready to strike, and we are joined by other union and community members who are ready to stand in solidarity with us ✊πŸͺ§ @Teamsters @804_local" below is a group photo of members of Left Voice, the DSA and ALU, and the Teamsters. four people are holding up signs, two that are the same, reading: "JUST PRACTICING FOR A JUST WAGE" the man in the center holds a sign that reads: "$25/HOUR MIN OR STRIKE" on the right side of the group a person wearing a hat is holding a sign over their head that reads: "REINSTATE FIRED WORKER ACTIVISTS UNCONDITIONALLY"ALT
screenshot of a tweet that reads: "Love to see it πŸͺ§ If UPS doesn’t meet our demands by August 1, it won't be practice anymore, and we will go on strike! Thanks for all the support and solidarity, we can hear and feel it from inside the warehouse. @Teamsters @Local804T" below it is a still from the video attached to the tweet, taken from inside the ups customer center and warehouse in canarsie, brooklyn, looking out onto the parking lot. a fence, the hood of a delivery truck, and a stoplight are partially obstructing the view of the 7/14/2023 practice picketALT

i know since writers and actors are already striking thats gonna take up most of the news space on social media but like. ups has until july 31st to meet the teamster's demands and if not then theyre going on the biggest strike against a single corporation since the early 1900s. the uaw (auto manufacturers union) contract is up this fall, and i believe the alu (amazon labor union) is as well. there's a huge possibility that they might strike as well, depending on how long the ups strike lasts.

im seeing a lot of talk about hollywood going down but i want to see more talk about labor rights and working class solidarity across the board... like A Lot of shit is about to go down

we're about to see a lot more propaganda by more than just hollywood, we're about to see a lot of bullshit political moves on local, state, and federal levels. dont fall for it. workers have power.
