Gina Carano did not get fired from The Mandalorian for being transphobic.
Her being transphobic is not at all okay either,
She basically just compared Holocaust victims to having different political opinions.
I’m Jewish. I really don’t like when someone compares the genocide of 6 million of my people to having a different political opinion! Do you realize how fucked up that is?!
Reblog this. Don’t just like this post. People need to know this. People need to start taking anti semitism more seriously.
Don’t you dare just like this post!
so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what
the other day I was like “I’m gonna learn how to color skin correctly” so here’s my best attempt so far
So, this hasn't crossed my dash yet. (Not blaming anyone, there is soooo much going on in the world and I'd also missed it in the noise).
There is currently a strike at Frito-Lay. in Topeka. These workers are striking because:
They were being forced to work 84 hour weeks. The company's best offer so far is a 60 hour cap. This is shit we fought for a century ago, people.
Their generous offer also includes a whole 4 percent wage increase...over the next 2 years. I'm not sure what COL is in Topeka, but... Well, it's better than the entire 77 cents they've apparently gotten in the last decade.
There's also a report that a worker literally collapsed and dropped dead on the line and the foreman's response was to make them move the body out of the way and put in a replacement. (However, this is unconfirmed and, of course, the company denies it).
There have been multiple OSHA violations at this plant over the last few years, including a forklift accident that's under investigation.
They've now been striking since July 5 but, of course, it only hit the national media yesterday.

So, why am I signal boosting this?
Because Frito-Lay is refusing to budge. They are attempting to make the excuse that union leadership agreed to the 60 hour work week and crappy pay cut...when union leadership only agreed to put it to a vote.
And this means that we need to put the thumbscrews on them. Remember, this is about 19th century style working conditions.
So, I'm calling on my followers to boycott Frito Lay's until the strike is involved.
Frito-Lay owns:
Lay's
Doritos (Sorry. I really am. I KNOW there's no good alternative to Doritos, although Zapp's are good if you can find them).
Fritos
Tostitos
Cheetos
Ruffles
Sun Chips
Baken-ets
Chester's
Cracker Jack
Islen plantain chips
Funyuns
Grandma's (the cookies)
Matador Meat Snacks
Maui style potato chips
Miss Vickie's
Munchies
Munchos
Rolled Gold
Sabritones
Santitas
Simply
Smartfood
Stacys
The Walking Taco
NatuChips
PopCorners (this one wasn't on their website, but was bought by Pepsi's in 2019 with the intent of adding it. So best avoided just in case). Yes, this really is more than half of the snack aisle. Suggested alternatives:
Kettle Brand Chips
Zapp's (If you can find them. My supermarket had them once and not since, so I'm guessing the culinary cowards in this neighborhood were afraid of "Voodoo" flavored chips).
Pringles
On the Border for salsa.
Wise Cheez Doodles
Bugles
Utz
Store own brand alternatives, if your store has ones that are any good.
Cheez-its
Check before you buy and let's tell these people they don't get to treat workers like that.
Hey just wanted to let you know you have exquisite eyelashes
made more of my fursona
Im pretty sure that every person with adhd ever has had this conversation at least once
Person A-*says a completely normal sentence*
Person B- sorry, could you say that again?
Person A-*says the exact same sentence, but with perfect articulation*
Person B- H u h?
Apparently a lot of neurodivergent people don’t like holding eye contact, but I’m on the opposite side of that.
Because of my neurodivergency I can’t figure out how long is too long to hold eye contact and often unintentionally creep people out.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Sometimes being on tumblr is like putting the same song on loop until you hate it. The same jokes circulate until they just aren’t funny anymore.
Growing up fat, you get made fun of for everything you do, even basic shit like eating and laughing and breathing are funny when you do it because youre fat! And its so hard to not carry that with you as you get older, like I’m still embarassed to eat or dance in front of people or smile in pictures and its ridiculous and I hate it and I wish I was treated with more humanity
I made this on a whim the other day
