can we talk about the ups strike can we PLEASE talk about the ups strike

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.

re: that fucking staff post. obviously death to algorithms, but i also wanna interrogate the wider underlying assumptions of their logic there cuz. is 'success' having lots of followers & lots of popular posts??? why is that the end goal of using this website. i don't open tumblr to get attention from strangers, i open tumblr to read funny jokes and interesting commentary and to see cool art. encouraging clout-chasing will only increase user engagement if you successfully get people literally addicted to the associated dopamine hit. what if we didn't have to do that!!! what if a website could be a place you went to on purpose because you had fun there!!!!

Hi OP and assorted seekers of happiness on Tumblr,

One day many months ago someone I followed reblogged a post that had reblogs turned off before I could reblog it. I looked at the OP and it turned out to be a user research survey blog claiming to associate with Staff. I took it and complained about various things, and then a couple weeks later one of the things I complained about got changed. That blog, was https://www.tumblr.com/benevolenthellsite and the two most newest surveys linked were:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2V3MQTP (the longer one)

and

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HS5LP3W (the shorter one)

So if you want Staff to stop punching holes in their own roof, take one of those. Or both, both is good. Anyways, just wanted to give you an option. Thanks for listening!

Sometimes twitter be hitting

This is even funnier with context attached

your favorite youtubers and content creators are about to be offered some tantalizing tv/streaming deals so we're all about to find out who the real working class allys are

someone's gonna get cancelled doing this and they're gonna cry crocodile tears over how difficult it is to make a living as a content creator and i'm telling you right now we are NOT going to buy it, got it? scabs deserve no sympathy
