this influx of lgbt people wanting to accept everything as ‘valid’ without questioning anything out of fear of being seen as bigoted has not gone well to say the least

I also believe it’s a result of this dumb idea that you need a label and a flag for everything. “I’m a bi lesbian bc I’m a lesbian but sometimes I’m attracted to men” putting aside the idea that you might just be bi… just say you’re questioning. just call yourself gay if no specific label applies, or queer if that’s cool with you, or just nothing at all because you do not need a label. a bi elder being seen as a lesbian for being with women back in their day is not the same person as you, early 20s, eating up shit you find on random carrds on the internet

this absolutely goes for lesbians struggling with comphet too and I don’t even need to explain why trying to make comphet into an actual label is not a good thing

I wish we had Bojangles. A friend of mine described a sandwich from there that sounds so good.

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.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/07/14/frito-lay-strike-forced-overtime/

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.

white people hijack every single movement they join

white feminism is inherently racist and white women are a danger to poc

trends on tiktok like the ‘shut it off’ one show how self trained white women are to cry on command to get things they want, this does not mean anything by itself, but in the context of historical incidents, this is not only a weapon but one that can be pulled at any moment of disagreement with a poc, most commonly men of color therefore weaponizing the security of the white woman over the “violent brown/black man”.

white feminism and white politics are centered around the exclusion of the perceived enemy which targets marginalized demographics such as poc, trans folk and sex workers, and about anyone who can be seen as a threat to the white womanhood and the white man’s rage.

this is encouraged to be rbed by white folk but I’m not open to discussing anything with anyone.
