Op turned off reblogs but this take was so real it’s radioactive so I’m reposting
Here’s the text of the image:
Something you need to understand is that when capitalists say something “can’t be automated” what they mean is “it can be automated, but running a sweatshop is cheaper.”
Meanwhile, when workers say something “can’t be automated” they mean “maybe you can automate it but the results will be somewhere between ‘incredibly poor quality’ and 'turns people into meat paste’.”
Anyway I feel like that’s a distinction worth mentioning.
all the memes about hammer car explosions are funny but please remember this isn’t about us dunking on one absolutely pathetic manchild, it’s about a system of transphobic flagging that staff refuses to change fix in any way. It’s gonna be so disappointing for all the trans girls following this issue if tumblr lets this become just another joke about a CEO.
Bird identification is so fucked up in a really fun way you can’t understand until you get into it. For example, there is a type of goose called the cackling goose that looks exactly like a Canada goose except smaller and “cuter”. The cackling goose is way, way, more rare in most places than its relatively common cousin, so it’s on tons of birders life lists. Everyone wants to see a cackling (look in any bird ID group to see lots of hopeful people posting petite Canada geese). The two species regularly commingle, so sometimes a flock of those common parking lot birds will have the equivalent of a Pokémon shiny just hanging out in the middle of them.
How ridiculous and fun is that? I can never look at a big group of Canada geese without scrutinizing their ranks for an adorable little extremely rare cutie pie cackling goose. It reminds me a bit of mushroom harvesting minus the risk of death if you get it wrong
