You DO actually hurt the low-wage workers, not the billionaire CEO/Owners of the company.
Source: I’ve had my paycheck, hours, and job cut due to shoplifting on more than one occasion. I’m not the only one.
Also, you know who they blame first for large numbers of shoplifters frequenting the store or lots of product going missing? The staff. You know what they do if they think a few people on staff might be stealing? They replace all of them. Regardless of whether they can prove it. Yes. That’s totally legal.
Stop acting like your shoplifting is some radical anti-capitalist statement. It isn’t. You’re only hurting the very people you claim to support. SOME stores have a certain amount they expect to lose to shoplifting, but not all of them do. It can vary even within a company.
And yes, stealing food when your hungry IS different from stealing $500 worth of makeup because you wanted it.
these two little girls came into work today, both black, both with their hair in space buns. and i went “you guys look like a princess i know” and they sighed and went “tiana?” because they were so use to being compared to the only black princess and i went “no. shuri” and omg, the oldest one lit up like a christmas tree. she was like “shuri is my favorite! no one believes she’s a princess!”
this is why representation matters
UPDATE: The girls came back in yesterday after school got out and I was off. They had their hair in braids and I did the Wakanda salute to them and went “Princesses” and they did it back and went “Ma’am” and I love these girls. Their parents looked so happy omg
Been seeing a lot of stupid stuff lately about cow hobbles.
Hobbles in the dairy industry are meant to keep weak cows from falling and doing the splits after a difficult calving or on slippery surfaces. They aren’t a “punishment” (lmfao). They’re a therapeutic tool used until we know the animal isn’t going to fall and further injure themselves. That’s it.
We use hobbles in chickens and other fowl in order to fix spay legs too!
People don’t blink at it because it’s typically done on cute little chicks with obviously DIY hobbles. Often times it’s made with medical tape and cardboard so it looks medical unlike with cattle hobbles. Hobbles are such an important part of animal welfare to prevent broken and deformed body parts which prevents an animal from being put down.
So important! Cows are not flexible creatures, if they fall (which they do sometimes) they can be hurt badly sometimes to the point that they’re permanently lame. Cow hobbles help them stay upright when cows’ hips are weak. They don’t impede mobility, they aid it.
vegans are really out there thinking farmer abuse live stock for literally no reason lmafo. Abusing animals doesn’t even make sense from a ‘capitalist money focused’ point of view.
Yes it’s a real service. I do volunteer work for a rape crisis support service in my city and texting is one of the features we provide as well. But just to boost its credibility, I tried it myself:
reblog to save lives!
You can also text “Steve” to 741741 if you’re a young person of color. The website for more info is stevefund.org
My understanding is that it’s more multicultural and some folks feel more comfy with that in mind!
^^^^^THIS
get help guys, please. if you’re hurting, don’t let that hurt consume you. seek help.
I never knew this. It’s spectacular.
THIS is what I was looking for a few weeks ago when I was in crisis; reblog to save a life!
