this is for a part-time job as a barista

on an application to work the front desk of a hotel

If minimum wage you’d like to make,
This ancient quiz you’ll have to take.

Step right up, but be prepared.
Those who fail are poverty-snared.

Question One!

If your labor proves most fruitful,
Raking quarters by the bootful,
Who should excess profits reap,
Me the wolf or you the sheep?

Question Two!

If, by merit, you’re made pope,
What will be your fervent hope?
Law and order justly paired?
Or mercy and the guilty spared?

Question Three!

If a train should leave Topeka
Driven by a solar squeaker,
How then should the cat behave?
Give it milk or give it grave?

Question Four!

Do you have a criminal record?

I’ve had a chat with a woman named Suad and she’s trusted me to share her story with you all.

Suad is a young engineer from Gaza who was excelling in her field, and had recently been told that she is pregnant. She had a bright future ahead of her until disaster struck and Israel and their constant bombings destroyed everything she holds dear.

She and her husband are now living out of a tent like many Gazans now. They have had to struggle to find food and water, and not only this, but Suad is also trying to nurture an unborn baby without access to adequate food and the prenatal care that a pregnant mother needs.

She is fundraising now to get herself, along with her husband and their family members out of Gaza. They require $20,000 to get out of Gaza and an additional $8,000 for transfer costs and living expenses in Egypt.

(ID in Alt)

As of right now, they have made only $2,732 of their goal and their situation is urgent. Suad is now nearly 9th months along and will be giving birth to her child very soon in very dangerous conditions for both herself and the baby.

Please donate whatever you can to this fundraiser, and if you cannot donate, I urge you to share!

listen i have no real attachment to this phrase but if you can’t understand that it’s a fucking metaphor you’re the dumb one

there is a long history in feminism of association with the witch as a powerful outsider, it is not and has never meant to be wholly historically accurate more in the sense of the way women have been treated when they dared to step outside their roles, that phrase means the opposite of what you’re implying it means patriarchy will never be able to murder and subdue every woman who fights against it, this is a pretty basic sentiment

but as usual you people seem to think women are too fucking stupid to use a metaphor and chomp at the bit to explain to us why we are wrong,, no one uses it thinks witches are real or anyone murdered for witchcraft deserved it like what are you actually talking about? go outside, for $1 name a woman

@mariemariemaria

#thank you that post pissed me off too lmao#‘an oppression their ancestors never faced’ ???? ah yes. none of our female ancestors faced oppression. none of them lived in patriarchy#that sentence has to be the stupidest thing i’ve read in a while

remember according to tumblr dot edu no women have EVER faced misogyny, a fake form of oppression that is thousand of years old and exists globally because it makes them feel bad about their favourite white man :(

@binickandros

#good god#and also this is ignoring European witch trials#in which ppl WERE often burned#no not in Salem#but witch trials happened more than just there#I know that’s not the point but#if you’re gonna be pedantic#be pedantic correctly

BE PEDANTIC CORRECTLY, omg….exactly lol

I don’t know how to put this without sounding patronising, but I couldn’t see this point in the notes anywhere: In Britain at least, “We are the daughters of the witches you couldn’t burn” is a TERF slogan. So that’s why people are pushing back against it so much.
