RANDOM REMINDER

if you have to be employed to make a living or keep up with your lifestyle, no matter how many millions you earn today, YOU ARE PART OF THE WORKING CLASSES.

the only capitalists are those who live from rents of properties they own, or from dividends of investments and stock portfolios.

that’s why professional athletes in the NBA MLB NHL NFL and Hollywood actors ―many of them earning millions annually― are unionized.

without labor unions, they wouldn't be millionaires.

Now here is a cat that is very clearly saying "I have a fish. I have a box. What else do I need?" and I'm pleased to say @A_bee decided she needed a hat. Quite right too.

“Tax cheat” means they stole from you and me. If you pay taxes, and someone else doesn’t, but everyone gets services like roads, firefighters, parks, and national security, the guys not paying the taxes they owe are stealing from you.

Taxes go to the treasury, which funds OUR government that WE own. When someone cheats on taxes they aren’t stealing from “the government”, they’re stealing from all of us. Fuck those people.

With new COVID-19 variants looming and renewed attacks on vaccines, masks, and other basic preventative measures, I just want to mention that:

- I still routinely mask up in crowded or poorly ventilated spaces. I mask on planes and trains. I teach with my mask on.

- I test any time I'm feeling under the weather.

- I plan to get the updated vaccine.

I'd *prefer* not to do any of this, but at worst, it's in the "mild inconvenience" category, and far preferable to long-term disability.

NO!!!!! Not that strong

A fabulous hat was requested for Ginger Cat by @charism8 on account of great bravery at the vets and general adorableness. I think we can all agree on the latter.
