@Burnt_Veggies @pivoinebleue These people absolutely refuse to hear themselves, and it makes me incandescent with rage.

Josie (6 years old), Bertha (6 years old) and Sophie (10 years old) worked regularly at the Maggioni Canning Company. Work began at 4 AM and the three would make from $9 to $15 a week. Sophie would do six pots of oyster a day and her mother who also worked with her said "She don't go to school. Works all the time."

Through such photos, Lewis Hine documented the harsh working conditions borne by thousands of children, who were sent to work soon after they could walk, and were paid based on how many buckets of oysters they shucked daily.

He covered around 50,000 miles a year, photographing children from Chicago to Florida working in coal mines and factories.

These photos helped to raise an outcry against child labor and made the American public become widely aware of the scope of the problem. This resulted in the establishment of organizations such as the National Child Labor Committee, in 1904, which led the fight against child labor.

@MugsysRapSheet @SrRochardBunson I think Republicans know exactly what it will do to these children and their families. The GOP wants the population ignorant and impoverished -- makes us easier to control.

Holy hell.

I just spent the last two hours pulling toothpicks out of my dryer and lint catcher. Taking apart the lint catcher so that I can get all the toothpicks at the bottom of the dryer. Then going through all of the clothes meticulously to pull all of the toothpicks out of the clothes.

My gf got her mother into a closer assisted living facility, and started doing her laundry. Apparently I need to go through her pockets first before I wash her clothes.

@Mrfunkedude YIKES. I'm so sorry. My 101yo Grandma has Alzheimer's and lives with my parents. She's starting to do things like this and it's hard to keep up with. Empathies. 🫤

Milo lived 99 minutes.

99 min of torment, parents holding him as he gasped for air with underdeveloped lungs due to a condition not detected until past the 15-week abortion ban in Florida.

DeSantis& the FL govt will point out that there are exceptions for fetal abnormalities, blaming the hospital &doctor for not performing the procedure. Yet the law is so vague, &penalties so steep, stories like Milo's are more &more common.

@meuon @AgentCarter @TonyStark That's their goal, though. They want the rest of us to live in primitive circumstances while they enjoy all the privileges of wealth and modernity. The cruelty is the point. They are plain evil.

Every accusation from these right-wingers is an admission of guilt.

So. How did it go today?

courtcan,
@courtcan@mastodon.social avatar

@Mrfunkedude It was acceptable. Gardening, yoga, weightlifting, time with my kid, yummy supper cooked by the husband, a glass of wine, and watching Aliens (1986). The only downside is the pain in my left hip, left knee, and left foot -- present since last October and flared up today. sigh Getting old hurts.

In these days of the establishment's utter disregard for human life and basic human rights, the most punk rock thing to do is practice radical empathy, kindness, and generosity, especially toward the oppressed, the deprived, and those on the fringe of society. UNDERMINE THE FASCISTS.

    TIL the word "priest" ultimately comes from a Proto-Indo-European word meaning "one who leads cattle."

    Have you sterilized your phone lately?

    This is brought to you by I dripped honey on my phone and licked it off before I remembered I probably shouldn't do that and licking inanimate objects is generally not advisable practice.
