Are the people who go on reality shows like “Love Is Blind” workers?

If so, what sort of labor protections should they have?

Should they unionize?

This phenomenal and deeply-reported piece by my fabulous wife @Emilynussbaum tackles this question by diving into the show’s recent lawsuits and controversies: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/05/27/is-love-is-blind-a-toxic-workplace

Today, in the Netherlands, caretakers all over the country dropped work for 2 minutes at 14:00 .
As respect for a colleague who was killed by a patient last month.

Violence against people working in medical jobs, by patients or people connected with them has increased a lot in the last years .

@mikemathia The first few times I saw this meme the bottom part was labeled "God's plan." And then someone further elaborated it with "I am shocked that God is so terrible at making plans."

Hence mostly why I am not religious.

If "god" is so awesome, then why does he take great people away from here, like my father, for example. He worked for Boeing for a million years, properly retired, was ready to travel the world and do nature photography, not do any harm, and plan was interrupted a WEEK after he retired. Ya know?

So because of that any many other hypocracies, I had to decline all religions.

It is almost as if the #world is telling us a morbid joke: we will kill you if you resist and kill you if you hide, and if you refuse, and if you concede, and we will devour your land and gulp your oceans and kill you with hunger and thirst.
The massacres will be televised, broadcast in broad daylight. Our judges will legalize them.

#Trump has been #dancing as fast as he can for #decades trying to stay one step ahead of #bankruptcy and the #law and he has been successful at doing it, apparently leading him to truly believe that he could always prevail by sheer force of #will. When the #2020election didn’t go his way, his #fragilepsyche couldn’t take it and he simply #created an alternate #reality in order to #cope.”

You're gonna wanna sit down and get your Shocked Face™️ ready:

"Researchers who studied the issue have found that undocumented immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than American citizens. From 2012 to 2022, undocumented immigrants were 14% less likely to be convicted of murder and 41% less likely to be convicted of any criminal offense. Similar research by Michael Light at the University of Wisconsin found lower rates of "homicides, sexual assaults, violent crimes, property crimes, traffic and drug violations" among undocumented immigrants."

Richard Rohr's contemplation inspired me to write about my own difficulty facing reality as my dog approaches the end of her life. Find my blog post here: https://www.spiritualbnr.org/living-in-reality

Richard Rohr reminds us that the self is a small, petty product of the ego, but the Self is everything. "People with a distorted image of self, world, or God will be largely incapable of experiencing what is Really Real in the world." You can find his meditation here: https://cac.org/daily-meditations/our-limited-perspectives/

Some #physicists have suggested that the world we call #reality could very well be nothing more than a very complex and technical #simulation that is being run somewhere other than what we know as reality

Do I think we are nothing more than a simulation, that answer would be no. But if we are, I sure would like to know what got up the butt of the person that created tRump. 😏

A young couple on their day. Just a small ceremony in an improvised tent, no gatherings, no celebration, everyday jeans for the groom, no real wedding dress for the bride, three red roses as bridal bouquet. No honeymoon - just the fear of loosing each other every minute. [Picture by Khalil.]
