I'd also like to add another detail. The girls weren't the only workers at the factory who worked with the radium mixture. They were the only ones ingesting it, but the (male) scientists who worked upstairs, mixing the radium paint powder in the first place, were given protective gear to wear while doing it. So the company knew enough by this time about the hazards to give the scientists some PPE, but did not care enough about the primarily young, immigrant, female workers to give them the same protection. The workers at that level were simply viewed as dispensible. But a scientific education was something they actually valued. The work they profited from the most, though, was the application of that science. Applied by a lower class workforce, lured into danger by the promise of a slightly higher wage. But they ended up having horrifically short careers.

It is said that regulations are written in blood, because they were generally promulgated in response to some corporation or another choosing money over lives. To this day, they still find cheats and work-arounds, still whine about regulations, and when they flout these protections, still kill their workers and wreck the environment - because to this day, corporations still view their workers as disposible. Use one up, hire another. May as well be a box of paper clips or a shipment of lumber for all they care. They're not even subtle about it. Consider the term: Human Resources. A lot of places just shorten it to HR. Easy way to dehumanize their employees. Some places just use the last word, which is somehow worse.

so much rage for anyone who tells the story of the radium girls like “ohoho weren’t people in the 20s fucking stupid” and not like “corporate greed has always cost people’s lives and health”

"Trek or Treat"

Been sitting on this one for a while. I hope you enjoy! 🖖🏻

T'lyn as T'pol, Tendi as Moopsy, Rutherford as the warp core, Mariner as Uhura, and Boimler as Pike - contouring, it's a whole thing.

(I cannot take credit for the background - you can find Cerritos interiors online. I only drew the characters.)

This, right here, is how you both GAF and hate Air Canada at the same time.

“Mayor Eric Adams, a former police captain, has said he wants to see police further embrace the ‘endless’ potential of drones, citing Israel’s use of the technology as a blueprint after visiting the country last week.”

#time to start using golf & patio umbrellas as personal parasols y'all #for backyard gatherings: pavilions & sunshades & massive awnings #bring back Picture Hats and other extravagantly broad-brimmed chapeaus #the harder they have to work for it the harder if will be for them to hide shady AF tactics like this #for extra fun - sew a mess of mirrors to your hat or parasol and blind the bastards #be the menace to technocracy you want to see in the world

I don't know what the medical term is for pain in the ass, but I'm just gonna pretend it's "glutealgia" and invite everybody to use it irresponsibly and effusively.

I actually wonder if Netflix was defrauding the WGA/SAG and that’s why they’re not negotiating.

#well that's disgustingly backwards #think of how much of capitalism's excesses would be clipped #if defrauding employees and contractors carried the serious jail time #and defrauding shareholders didn't actually matter

Because it's still hilarious to me that Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior sometimes crops up in Diggy's Adventure.

Found this on Twitter, so I thought, why not posting it here and doing a tag game 😊

Ok, I’ll go first

If he is the reason, I’d go to prison gladly 🥰❤️‍🔥

Needed to add the Sumerians, too.

Also, if you ever had to know why Dana Barrett needed to put on that red, off-the-shoulder dress in "Ghostbusters" while possessed by Zuul, now you know. Red was a very common dye in the ancient world, and known in Sumer.

Costume. Chitons.

#given that fabric was woven by hand and comes off the loom in a rectangle - it pays to use it judiciously
