All Monarchs are usurpers and decedents of usurpers
@VeroniqueB99 or it's unrelated and it's simply too cold for crime right now.

Doc ImpossibleI am incredibly excited to announce my first novel:
Nameless, a cyberpunk action-adventure set in the dead cold of a January Minneapolis winter, and featuring a pair of queer women leads, thrilling action, and a cat with a prosthetic leg.
Nobody survives winter alone.
Out February 11!

@year_progress buckle in, folks
Amir KhanCORRECTION!
Turns out the Reddit post I shared isn’t credible so I’m retracting screenshots.
These things only distract from the real issues, which are serious enough on their own.
I do believe the exploitation & manipulation concerns are legitimate though.
The Human Rights Watch’s report does lay out thoroughly, how platforms exploit workers, underpay them, & avoid responsibility -all while framing it as progress.
Worth a read even if the whistleblower post was fake
The Gig Trap
The 155-page report, “The Gig Trap: Algorithmic, Wage and Labor Exploitation in Platform Work in the US” focuses on seven major companies operating in the US: Amazon Flex, DoorDash, Favor, Instacart, Lyft, Shipt, and Uber. These companies claim to offer gig workers “flexibility” but often end up paying them less than state or local minimum wages. Six of the seven companies use algorithms with opaque rules to assign jobs and determine wages, meaning that workers do not know how much they will be paid until after completing the job.
JeniParsonsWhat a glorious story! I recommend this book wholeheartedly as a story about hope #bookstodon
