It’s May Day, and McDonald’s workers in Manchester, Watford, Crayford
and Cambridge have walked out, demanding an end to zero-hours contracts
and a £10/hour living wage.
The Bakers Food and Allied Workers Union is asking to be recognised as
representing the McDonald’s workers, with demands that include
fixed-hours contracts and pay equity for young workers.

When the pitcher plants bloom, we feel like we are living on another planet. Sarracenia leucophylla blooms look alien in some regard, but are beautiful nonetheless. #flowers #gardens #sarracenia #carnivorous #plants #garden #rvagardentrail (at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden)
Michelle Burns, thirty, sits with her ten-year-old niece, Dannataya, in
Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Monica Lee, Dannataya’s mother and
Michelle’s twin sister, was murdered in January 2015 by a
thirty-eight-year-old white male she had met that night. He received a
thirteen-year sentence. “I feel lonesome a lot,” Michelle says. “I have
to remember that [Dannataya] is watching me. When I walk, I try to walk
with good intentions, so that when she’s older she won’t end up lost.
Her mom would want good things for her.”
someone exposed my line of work to my mother. one of my subscribers, don’t know who it is. i don’t wish you any ill will, that won’t get me anywhere. i just wanted to say something:
you don’t know me. you don’t know my circumstance, you only know what i allow the world to know online. my mother and i have a tumultuous relationship, she’s “disowned” me quite a few times. right now was the best our relationship has ever been.
now that’s done, now she’s officially done. with that one message sent to her, she’s disgusted and mortified to have me as a child.
when you expose a sex worker, you don’t know the impact it’s going to have.
my mom was my best friend again finally.
and now i truly only have my boyfriend, and it hurts.
i love what i do, i love my sex work and the connections/lovely angels i’ve met along the way.
before you decide to expose someone, think-
would this help them? am i helping them?
remember, you are NOT.
always remember, you are NOT.
IF A SEX WORKER DOES NOT INVOLVE THEIR FAMILY IN THEIR WORK, DOESNT OPENLY SPEAK ABOUT IT-
fuck tHAT-
YOU ARE NOT MY FAMILY.
MY DECISIONS DONT’T AFFECT YOU.
stay away from my family, any sex worker’s family.
you can’t undo the damage you’ve done.
Don’t out sex workers.
Don’t tell ppl their real names. Where they live. Any info.
the part of adulthood that nobody prepared me for was how some nights you’re like “yknow what? i’m in the mood to cook a full 12-course meal for myself” and other nights you’re like “tortilla chips are basically an entire meal it’s fine”
In case you haven’t been on Twitter lately the most recent discourse is that a vegan consoled a crying child and gave her money for ice cream, and another vegan made a callout because she didn’t tell the child to buy vegan ice cream.
i lost it at this reply
okay so you know how i was just talking about what a purity politics/purity culture mindset is?
