Carry the hell on
Fyahworks out!
When you were talking about companies expecting people to come back in the office you said that the capitalist power structure was saying ” we ain’t paying you to stay home and binge Netflix” during the work day. How dare you suggest I binge Netflix when I work from home! All my daytime work-from-home binging is NBA League Pass highlights of my losing-ass Knickerbockers, Disney+ and Apple TV (right now I’m watching After Party with Tiffany Haddish. That shit is great). So get your shit correct nigga.
On a serious note though, you are so right about expecting people to get they asses back to work. The government agency I work for has all sort of talk about implementing a flexible work from home policy and restructuring office space to have shared work spaces according to people’s schedules. I think they are operating from a genuine place but the reality is that if they can’t rent out the additional office space that they’ll have, they run the risk of being accused of using taxpayer money to maintain an empty, brand new, multimillion dollar office building. My employer is usually comparatively good about employee treatment but even they won’t be immune to financial pressures.

Rod you’re actually spot on about the witch hunts. In one of the classes I teach, I use this article to help students begin to see how misogyny and patriarchy are baked into a lot of western ideas around gender and gender roles (https://daily.jstor.org/where-witch-hunts-began/). We usually read through it in class and talk about what it takes to maintain a system of dominance. Like what did men, particularly white men, have to actually *do* to get everyone to buy in to these ideas about gender and gender roles. I also like to have them read through this article immediately after that discussion to help them start to reframe western ideas of gender as a cultural export and how colonization altered, to our detriment, non-white concepts of gender (https://daily.jstor.org/the-deviant-african-genders-that-colonialism-condemned/).
I can’t consume brutal content either, I get nightmares. And it’s helping no one if I do. Helping and donating makes a difference.
But please don’t think its a new thing.
People used to go to public death penalty “shows” for fun way before there was internet. Like the witch trials.
Mr Apia works for the German Census Bureau as a software developer and he can do 100% home office now.
In two weeks it’s 1 day office 4 home office. I think this is ideal.
One good thing about having had covid: I’m not afraid if getting anymore.
People who got vaccinated aren’t tired protecting others they did an important part.
I had 3 vaccines now and I’m recovered from Omicron. I should be pretty safe till the next variant. I’m still gladly wearing a mask to make others feel safe. I dont care. As long as there is no more lockdown. I need to be out at least 2-3 days a week for my job otherwise it’s terrible.
