Kickstarter employees are trying to start a union (in fact, the first union at a major US tech company) and management's gaslighting attempts are going wild.

So far members of "senior staff" (who are totally NOT management!) have expressed that the unionization effort hasn't been "transparent" enough (unionizers not telling everything to management? GEEEEE), said that working conditions are fine, and that unions aren't intended for tech.

Been getting some requests to upload my art stream recordings. I feel like Peertube will be a good place to do that, but can anyone recommend some basic video editing software? 🤔

I'm not looking for anything fancy. (I don't have very extensive editing knowledge anyway.) I mostly need to do very basic things.

Can we please CW mentions of Facebook and Twitter?

Thanks

There needs to be an absolute bottom people can hit where they still have reasonable housing, nutritious food, and access to decent health care. Society does not benefit from letting people fall to the point where they can no longer even try to improve their own situation.

"A #Virginia school resource officer has been identified as an active member of the white nationalist group #IdentityEvropa. In fact, it appears he was in charge of guiding new recruits through the application process."

Don't put cops in schools.

Don't let white supremacists have jobs.

Certainly don't let them have jobs that give them unlimited license to commit violence with no repercussions, okay?

This is truly astonishing.

The Al Noor mosque in Christchurch is already being cleaned up and will reopen *tomorrow* for Friday prayers.

<< The police finished their investigation at the scene on Tuesday night. Since then, carpet layers, plasterers, glaziers, painters, builders and gardeners have been working to clean and repair the mosque so the Muslim community can return to pray there on Friday afternoon.>>

Some fleeting moments of happiness in between the bouts of anger and sadness is way better than the constant depression T gives me.

Hi, so, I got fired the day I landed in Toronto. I have one interview lined up for next week and I'm still in the running for several other positions, but my unemployment has yet to be approved.

Rent, medical costs, and utilities are coming up and I'm VERY scared.
