On prison labor and local economies

Leave a reply

If your economy is reliant upon prison labor, the system is incentivized to fill those prisons, build more of them, and subsequently fill those. It’s modern-day slavery. If your system would collapse without free prison labors, it deserves to collapse. https://t.co/WxbmERTndf

Donate instead of fighting?

Leave a reply

Hmm. Why doesn’t social media do THIS? I wonder what it would take? Every post would have to be identified with a cause. And whether it was in support of or opposition to said cause.

Vaccines still work

Leave a reply

It sucks the variants eroded the vaccines’ ability to slow transmission.

But I fear the current “eh nothing matters” attitude toward arresting COVID in some corners has been conflated with the idea that the vaccines aren’t doing *anything* anymore.

And that remains very wrong https://t.co/3dVmQ8wAnT

Even eyeglasses are tuned for white facial structure

Leave a reply

Glasses are made to fit caucasian faces and bone structures. They aren’t made to fit wider noses or larger eyes because yt people don’t typically have those features. That’s why your glasses always fall off. ❤️ https://t.co/N09I59fCcf pic.twitter.com/69zVeG2LAW

https://darrellowens.substack.com/p/whos-who-the-dictionary-of-in-my?utm_medium=reader2

My Twitter feed is full of stuff about housing like this. I think that says something about me or my feed or twitter, but I’m not sure exactly what.

[various flavors of NIMBY/YIMBY, defined.]
