Things that bug me in movies

When a character walks into a house but doesn’t close the door behind them. What kind of fucking barbarian does this?

And the not taking shoes off thing. Rage-inducing.

I think that that second one is just what Americans do.

I mean, it can vary depending on how expensive/recently cleaned your floor is and whether or not you’re in a climate where there’s typically lots of mud to track in, but yeah, shoes indoors isn’t a massively rude thing here

Reminder: Do not buy from Amazon or even open the website on 10 July 2018, in solidarity with the transnational strike.

Amazon workers in Spain have called for a transnational strike because Amazon has been avoiding accountability for its labour rights violations by merely shifting the work (and the human rights abuses Amazon inflicts on their workers) to non-striking countries, each time a strike occurs. If there is widespread striking transnationally, Amazon will have no choice but to recognize the strikers’ demands in order to keep their facilities functioning.

Our job as allies is to support the strike by avoiding using the Amazon website or purchasing anything from Amazon for as long as the strike continues. A mass boycott of the site, coinciding with the strike, will strengthen the workers’ bargaining position and could be crucial to Amazon workers gaining back basic rights in a variety of countries.

Please remember this includes subsidiaries like Twitch and Audible.

This is tomorrow!

Please do not shop on Amazon tomorrow.

Please do not stream Amazon music or video tomorrow

Please do not order from sites using Amazon Payments tomorrow.

For one day, please, avoid it.

sometimes i feel like people are practicing some kind of trickle-up progressivism, where they think if you can purify individual communities, if you can target the most visible symptoms of systemic inequality, that will make said inequality disappear, and, uh, it will not. I’m not saying you can’t criticize the small things, I’m just saying, like, identifying the actual source of a problem is important and we should probably…like…do that. 

trickle-up progressivism

That’s such a perfect way to put it that I’m almost mad at how perfect it is. Like… that’s it, isn’t it? That’s the whole thing–and the enraging, self-sabotaging futility of the whole thing–in a nutshell.
