I hope you all have a nice week :D

A socdem politician came to visit my workplace today. Now, we are severely understaffed and overworked. Today was no exception. Place was packing with clients who had to wait 3 hours to get help. Insane day.

She came in with an entourage accompanied by our directors. It was like the queen herself came to the place. Pictures were taken of her standing at our workplace, looking interested.

She didn't say a single fucking word to us or our clients. Not one. Not even hello. Absolute 0 sign of respect. Fucking shithead. It was as if she came to see some monkies at the zoo.

People being divorced from production and paying outrageous amounts of money for funkopops does not disprove the theory of value.

Just a brief reminder that this beautiful picture was taken this year

Went out with my van to an in law family gathering on a camping this weekend, away from the busy city. When playing football with the kids present I sprained my ankle lmao. It's thick and blue now. Still had fun though.

Ever since the Iran attack I have been spiralling downward with my mental health a bit. I guess it's a combination of the events going on and the ever increasing workload at my job. Took today off in order not to burn myself out soon.

After the intense heat a couple of days ago came the intense rain right now. Overall the weather feels all over the place.

Apparently a gas cartridge that I use for cooking in my van was leaking. How I didn't accidentally gas myself idk.

Just got back from a trip to Japan and South Korea. Was originally supposed to go to China but there were issues that stopped that from being feasible.

Japan was surprisingly awesome. Such friendly people and so respectful. SK is definitely worst Korea though. It's basically the US in another language.

Can'stop the people singing you shits fuck you

I live in public housing in the deep south; in a building as old as I am (60+). It's falling apart and should be condemned. Sporadic hot water- and when there IS hot water it's 140 degrees and the cold water CUTS OUT all the time when the hot water is working- showers can scald you if you are not able to move fast enough.

The housing authority told us they were building new buildings and for us to hold on until then (6 years?) but they refuse to fix the boiler in the meantime. 6 years is a long time to think about not having hot water when you need it. And the only way to tell if there's hot water is to test it, sometimes the only time you can shower with hot water is at 2 am or whatever. shrug

So people are rightfully upset, we are all senior / disabled/ living way below the poverty level. People tried to stand up to the administration of the Housing Authority and got tossed out of the meetings by a fucking police whom they had there just because they know no hot water upsets people.

The main dude of the HA is this tall bougie ass black dude who resembles one of the uppity gangsters on the Chi - fucker got mad when I left the meeting after seeing the cop loom over one of my neighbors when they asked too many questions out of turn. I got up and left and they told me later that that big GQ looking bougie dude (who wears sunglasses to meetings so, SO DO I) asked "Who is that , who just left this meeting?"

Later after the meeting broke up I was coming back from my walk (to clear my head from the rage at having a cop attend a meeting with old/disabled folks in it) and bougie dude was walking out to his car. I walked right past him with a giant snarl and dared him to say anything to me. He did not. He stared straight forward and kept walking.

I saw him again last week outside the admin building next door and I coughed loudly and spit on the ground next to his car. Fucker did not turn around but he could see me in the reflection. Bougie ass removed with a PHd in how to fuck over poor people. Threatening us with eviction (they actually have no where to put us all) if we get rowdy about the hot water.

Threatening us. Looming over us and having cops at meetings. Fucking fascists. No hot water, shitty guards at the door, (hell I walked in on one in the bathroom, he didn't even bother to lock the bathroom door. He was on cloud 9 high as a kite looking at his phone with his pants down around his ankles and I laughed and said "I was just looking all the fuck over for you. I was thinking of calling your supe!" and he says "HUH?"

Our front door card reader doesn't work, the parking lot gate doesn't work, people break into the building by jumping the side gates, people let criminals in here all the time, it's nuts. It's basically 3rd world right around the corner from bougie ass downtown. There's always a cop in the elevator going up to arrest someone, always paramedics taking OD'd folks out of here, and we can't even have hot water.

So glad I served this shithole country in the Nat Guard

so glad I worked my ass off for decades under the table not knowing that I'd not get much Social Security if I didn't get on the payroll, no one told me Until I was like 35. I'm autistic as fuck too. ADHD, CPTSD, PTSD-- yet I know what is right from wrong and this is bullshit. That all said I spend my days helping the less fortunate at the homeless camp bringing them food and clothing and materials I gather from the 'hood. The 'hood provides when the government does not.

Thanks for listening to my stupid rant -Zed

Zen browser is great so far!

When are we getting the ProleWiki podcast where twice a month @CriticalResist8 along with different contributors and editors talk about everything ProleWiki from updates, news, challenges, the "On this day..." event etc. with a section at the end of each episode highlighting some of the goofiest edit attempts in ProleWiki history?

Of course, there would also be a Q&A section to plug the Patreon/Liberapay, as only patrons would be able to submit questions. They'll also get exclusive access to a compilation of bloopers from the last 2 episodes every month.

And it goes without saying that once a month there will be a special episode with a section where @CriticalResist8 invites esteemed guests from Lemmygrad to discuss the featured article and essay on the ProleWiki homepage from that day.

🇰🇵 Korea Stamp Museum in Pyongyang

prob my most asshole move but i constantly remind people in agriculture that call themselves "engineers" that they're not engineers but glorified salesmen. like dude you have never ever used a tool in your life, all you do is drive around selling pesticides or whatever that you didn't even develop or anything.
