#unemployed — Public Fediverse posts

Domitila’s book was when i finally understood why my blonde, blue-eyed jíbara Puerto Rican mother called #GloriaSteinem una gringa and her brand of #feminism, feminismo de blanquitas.

Domitila unionized stay-at-home mothers.

let me say that again: one of Bolivia’s most powerful #labor #unions was of #UNEMPLOYED WOMEN.

because, it wasn't just that the moment that miner died, the company would throw the wives & kids out of their homes. they had no health care, no sick days, no pensions…

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/aug/07/english-primary-schools-to-be-told-to-identify-children-at-risk-of-future-unemployment. What utter nonsense is this? Yet another burden on #primary #School #teachers, another #fallacy in the "thinking" of #Labour #Ministers - namely that it's possible to identify #children aged 5-11 who might become #unemployed as #adults. Are we to "write off" entire #classes of #kids because of their #socioeconomic #backgrounds, is that it? And this from a "Labour" #Government!

Sometimes people tell us to "get a job" as if it's that simple.

There are multitudinous good reasons why we:
1. Consider our work for Vulpine Labs and the local community more important than any run of the mill "job".
2. Cannot seriously be expected to attain traditional employment.
3. Shun traditional models of pay in favour of Mutual Aid.

And we won't let capitalism grind us down.

Today, Atha:
Reset the mouse traps in the bus
Cleared snow off the bus and car (altitude does not care for your "seasons", mere mortals)
Got a new phone from a good friend
Set up an LELink LeafSpy OBD2 device to help diagnose and fix the car
Did some reading at the library to get back in the mood for learning Python

And Inara:
Did trans HRT injections
Did some cleaning and tidying
Took the car to do a slow charge session
Did some phone setup
Will likely cook food for us and a homeless friend, and do some VR.

If you want to fling us some currency to keep the mardy old system at bay and fill up the bus's thirsty diesel tank, feel free to send to

The horrors persist, but so do we.

Someone who lives in a makeshift forest shelter wants to join us in the bus soon.

The Vulpibus now has an air conditioning unit fitted. We have installed a longer 4G antenna.
We almost had somewhere to go and park a while, but the landowner backed out. Again. And the convoy we are trying to form is moving along.

So the bus is still in need of a diesel refueling, and the current prices make that a matter of about $400. Links below.

We would really love to convert this bus to an EV but that is going to need a much more generous level of help than most folks here can provide.

There are also many debts to deal with, including car loan and insurance, and bureaucratic needs that have fees to pay. Capitalism is ruthless the most when it is legally enforced and you still don't have the means.

If you want to help out with any specific thing, please let us know. Otherwise donations are put to the most pressing need.

Today's food mutual aid request has been fulfilled (yay!)

Now let's see how much of Atha's debts run up trying to survive we can pay off...

The total debts are in the region of $50-60k if you include student loans.
But the immediate needs (to avoid car repo and excessive credit card and overdraft fees) are more like $2000.

What can we do to put a dent in that today?

#InnesWillox says govt need to keep the #unemployed in #poverty to stimulate so-called #incentives for #workers to return to #unethical #jobs and #workingConditions.

It's good to see that some in #Australia have been able to identify #JobKeeper as a #scam. Designed to enrich the #powerElite, and the #extremelyWealthy, while regular honest #Australians, #casualWorkers, #unemployed and the #lessFortunate are left behind.

Good to see people hashtagging #NoWorkersLeftBehind and #WageSubsidyForAll but what did you make of those hashtags?

Did you actually #organise?

This is why we need #alternativeMedia and more using Tor and I2P.
