last night, during the street outreach, we had a woman come up to us, incredibly agitated that the undercover footage we were showing of slaughterhouses and dairy, egg, and fishing industries was visible to children.

two of the activists had brought their healthy, intelligent, wonderfully well-adjusted vegan children, who have both previously seen the footage with their parents and asked questions and received honest answers.

and i approached her to ask her—if she cared so much about the welfare of children, as she claimed, why was she not boycotting these industries?

if you are against child labor in any real way, you WOULD boycott industries that require labor in slaughterhouses, meat-packing facilities, fisheries, egg farms, dairy farms, fur and wool farms.

because guess who makes up a significant portion of that labor? CHILDREN. illegally and legally both, depending on the state or regional laws.

i’ve seen it with my own eyes at slaughterhouses, up close—i’ve seen children no older than 12 made to haul the dead bodies of pigs, still bleeding. i’ve seen them working in those farms.

there are innumerable minors “employed”—or enslaved—to animal agriculture and the resultant slaughterhouses and meat-packing and chick-grinding and animal skinning. PTSD doesn’t even begin to cover what these children come home with. to say nothing of how unsafe these jobs are—would anyone like to look into how many injuries and outright limb amputations are caused by slaughterhouse work each year? cuz it sure isn’t zero.

do you think Big Meat insures their workers and pays for medical bills and a pension when these incidents occur? how much do you think they care about safety code violations? the USDA and ASPCA approved slaughterhouses i’ve seen in person are in violation of at least 40 codes, minimum.

and let’s talk about the field farming of the immense amount of food required to sustain the animals imprisoned within these industries—lest we forget, most of the world’s food and calories go to feed these animals, not us.

and guess who they rely on most to farm that animal feed.

these industries will ALWAYS find a way to use children for their labor, because it’s cheap and it’s easy. they will NEVER stop using child labor. ever. it doesn’t matter how many laws are “in place”—these places will always get away with it bc they literally cannot exist without extensive and wildly cheap labor. you cannot invent an animal agriculture that won’t find a way to silently exploit minors for cheap labor.

these businesses are at the top of the capitalist heap—it’s a business that, once again, cannot exist without human slavery on a large scale, with much of that burden resting on children and immigrants (particularly women, btw).

if you actually care even a little bit about child labor, really, one of the most effective things you can do is to boycott animal product industries.

#unethical labor is why your meat is so ‘cheap’ btw #one reason at least. govt subsidizing of these slavery farms definitely help #but the less they have to pay their workers who are in high risk jobs the better! #guess what the slaughterhouse overturn is for employees btw! #and guess what kinds of psychological trauma and long term issues they leave with #v #vp

I think if a company lets you apply to their job through a dedicated job site (Indeed or w/e), and then messages you to inform you that, ACTUALLY, you need to go to a second site and apply there for the application to Actually Count, we should be able to steal $200,000 from the CEO's bank accounts each time.

#elk text #job hunting #what a nightmare #one of them was for a govt position #and the site they required is one I've used before #it deletes your profile if you don't use it every like 3 months #i am not rebuilding my profile on that hellhole for the third time #to apply to a job I've ALREADY APPLIED TO ON A LEGITIMATE JOB APPLICATION SITE #especially when the message has 4 phone numbers a fax and an email yet NO LINK TO THAT JOB POSTING ON THE RELEVANT SITE #fie on you. curse of job posting stays empty forever because of bureaucratic idiocy.

#gonna ramble about irl here so people don't have to read it unless they want to #so because I got covid and couldn’t leave my bed I've essentially lost my job #I've told my manager I'm okay to go back to work #even if my body is still sore #but she's only given me a 3 hour shift a week #and you guessed it! #it's the late shift #the one where it takes me almost 2 hours to get home from #she's being so petty with me #and I am so behind in rent #I've applied for government assistance and I have a meeting with them tomorrow #I really hope they can help because I feel awful #I'm also annoyed at myself because I can't find my knee brace ANYWHERE #I thought I could find one for around $10 but nope! #the closest stores selling them are like $25+ so that's fun #I don't know when I'll be able to draw again #I'm so stressed again about money and secueing work #hopefully once I can get govt assistance at least I can enjoy life again #also I tried to ask the zine that still owes me money if they could finally send payment but they still keep delaying it with excuses #I'm so desperate it's shameful

Hell this is hell I'm in HELL

Literally the only thing 16 months of full-time work in my field has taught me is that I'm actually talented and have a natural apptitude for the profession, which comes with no small degree of pride and is fueling my benevolent information management dictator desires, and also competence is the sexiest thing on the planet it's a shame LITERALLY NO ONE ELSE HAS ANY

#franposting #im so sorry that i am so unhinged about what is possibly the boring est topic on earth #but i love paperwork and organization. information. burecracy #these things make the world go round and i am SO good at them #im sorry im surrounded by idiots + stuck in loosey goosey non profit land #LET ME OUT.

Do you ever feel like you’re on the brink of going absolutely insane and you can’t tell if it’s the mental illness or the state of the fucking world

there's so much freddie hate in the hannibal fandom purely because of how competent she is at her job. from day one she clocked will as the freak he is. she was on it and everyone immediately pinged her as just some nosy journalist (correct) looking for a story (correct) to make out of an innocent man who is just doing his job (incorrect). freddie is more than the "girl boss" character i feel like a lot of people who do like her flatten her out to be. her motivations extend beyond just being good at her job, and i would argue a lot of her character is dedicated to the truth even if how she presents it is sensationalized. she digs for a truth that not a lot of people are going to like or easily digest, and she's motivated enough to use her body to get the story out there. freddie is willing to go to great lengths to get a hold of the narrative, and even though a lot of the show centers around the articles she publishes, no one ever really talks about how it's freddie's actions that get to them. she is a morally gray character with the lines, laws, and boundaries she's willing to cross in order that people might see the killers she is seeing. she's whip smart and has great intuition, and no one suspected will, or abigail for that matter, until her articles about them put that at the forefront of everyone's minds. even hannibal could be swayed by her articles and he used them regularly to check up on will and the various other killers around because freddie was that good at doing her job and keeping tabs on those that were suspicious

#nbc hannibal #freddie lounds #it sucks that a lot of ppl dont like her just bc she gets in the way of the cannibals happily ever after #AND ALSO THAT SHE LIVES #SHE BEATS THOSE FUCKERS AND LIVES AND SURVIVES THEM #soooo annoying when people shove her under the bus when she is literally doing her job and exposing bad people #like yes she does her job a little outside of the law but every good journalist does and if they dont theyre working for the govt

Working with editors is fun

I just told my supervisor "combler un poste" is not considered proper french anymore and she went on a 10 minute rant about how that's stupid during our meeting

#trying so hard not to laugh #like i agree with her that its stupid cuz EVERYONE says it #but hey what are you gonna do? argue with the language police? #take it up with the federal govt language database? #i love my new job lmao #lnl

yknow i have to assume that everyone lived at the claw base for the majority of their time. especially the super 5 like they were basically suzuki’s security detail. meaning that when claw finally got toppled, everyone had to scramble to figure out where they were going to live

cue minegishi renting a two bedroom with hatori bc they have almost no money of their own and would rather kill themself than live w a stranger. it’s like the worlds awkwardest (but funniest) roomie situation

#ignorance cloud on #mp100 #SORRY i’m minegishiposting now. #theyd rather live w serizawa but serizawa is moving into a very small apartment close to spirits & such #shimazaki is like. in guam. who knows he just fucked off forever. shibata is too big. leaving them w only one option #it’s fine they like each other enough. i think they’re closest in age??? if not canonically then in my head #but imagine ur roommate comes home and u have to be like oh how was ur job at The Government #i know plenty of people have govt jobs but like. it’s funny when ur both former terrorists

love us healthcare

#covid-19 #only takeaway from my job: the us healthcare system will artificially create barriers to accessing affordable care #and then the govt will proceed to make cumbersome programs and policies to act as loopholes around the problems it created in the 1st plac #lmaoo
