space shit is cancelled until we solve homelessness and poverty
i hope everyone understands i mean no space bases on mars for the wealthy and no control room on venus where elon musk sits and read books about how to turn a human brain into a motherboard. Wealthy gotta fix what they fucked before they head off to a new world…imo
Many people continue to think avoiding meat as infrequently as once a week will make a significant difference to the climate. But according to one recent study, even if Americans eliminated all animal protein from their diets, they would reduce US greenhouse gas emissions by only 2.6%.
According to our research at the University of California, Davis, if the practice of Meatless Monday were to be adopted by all Americans, we’d see a reduction of only 0.5%.
Shit its almost like the real problem is corporate greed causing mass pollution on an unimaginable scale.

General strikes are a big deal. They need organization, mass support, an agreed-upon list of demands, related demonstrations, etc. It’s not as easy as 10k people across the country at multiple different jobs not showing up – despite what you think, that will be seen as 10k independent occurrences and will result in several thousand firings for no call/no shows with no other notice paid. Even if this wildcat general strike gets enough traction to be seen as an actual threat (which is unlikely as just a viral tumblr post), the government will simply respond with arrests and brutality as they have in the past, and no part of this post prepares people for that
And don’t just decide to do it on your own – talk to your coworkers, get in touch with local unions and your IWW branch, talk to local chapters of climate activism groups like Rising Tide, 350.org, and Transition Towns to organize concurrent demonstrations and actions, and spread the word as much as you can so we can get some steam behind this in the 2 months we have to prepare
“Fuck Work Day” would probably just make things worse while scaring people off from participating in the real coordinated action less than a month later
Please signal boost this post!
Totally agree with the essence of this post, just gonna have to pause for a minute on the whole ‘government arresting and brutalizing us’ bit. The fuck?
Are they arresting us for not going to work because um…I don’t think that’ll happen.
if you’re wondering what the numbers above are they’re links to articles about the number of times governments have attacked striking workers
And that’s only the most prominent examples in the US, and only for as long as I could be assed to root through Wikipedia to make a point. There are many, many more examples elsewhere in the world, so don’t think of 23 as some grand total
