Kinda a shanty, but "The Chemical Worker's Song (Process Man)" "Feed the Machine" also comes to mind, but any Poor Man's Poison could work
Do you have any recommendations for work songs/folk songs regarding mining? Or just work songs in general? My housemate is writing a fantasy novel set partly in an industrial town and a mine and I'm putting together a playlist of related music. I have "I Can Hew" by Mawkin and "Tell God and the Devil" by Solas, and not-a-work-song-but-still-fun steampunk (emphasis on punk) "Miner" by The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing, but 3 songs does not a playlist make!
YES!
Mining specifically: 16 Tons, Dark As A Dungeon, Loading Coal, Coal Miner's Blues, The Blackleg Miner, The Testimony of Patience Kershaw, The Coal-owner and the Pitman's wife, The Collier's Rant
Work songs (using what I think is the definition you're using): Worker's Song, Poverty Knock, Murphy and the Bricks (humerous), The ICI Song, The Hand-Loom Weaver's Lament
Actual Sea Shanties (ie. work songs on boats as opposed to just songs about sailing, separate in case you don't want these): Old Maui, South Australia, High Barbary, Randy Dandy Oh, Haul Away Joe
talk about yemen. talk about the 63,000 yemeni children that died of preventable causes. talk about how the UN dubbed it “ the world’s largest humanitarian crisis ”. talk about US’ major role in backing Saudi Arabia’s bombing. talk! talk! talk! this needs to get the deserved and much needed attention.
The arsonist who set fire to the Autozone (video below) in Minneapolis has been identified as officer JACOB PEDERSON, a COP and NOT a protestor attending the Justice for George Floyd protests, by his ex wife. Pigs are framing arson on protestors demanding justice for the murder of an innocent Black man by killer cops.
What is actually going on in yemen:
CHOLERA OUTBREAK
the cholera pandemic has been going on since around 2016, and it continues to get worse every day due to the lack of public health sectors and aid, as well as the saudi led air strikes on water systems and food infrastructure
HUMANITARIAN CRISIS
yemen currently has the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world, with over 24 million people in need of aid
FAMINE
the famine in yemen is said to become the worst one in 100 years and it continues to get worse ever day due to the poor funding and saudi intervention (with the support of the us, uk & france). nearly half the population will soon be dependent on aid
CIVIL WAR
it started when the houthis (backed by iran) rebelled against the government and began to seize territories (taking over the capital sana'a). in order to get the houthis out, saudi began bombing yemen and thus the conflict worsened
WAR
saudi arabia (with the support of the us, uk and france) has been bombing yemen in order to get rid of the houthi rebels. this led to the deterioration of yemen's situation, as well as the death of many civilians. they target public infrastructure, water systems, schools, etc
CORONAVIRUS
there aren't many testing kits and the hospitals aren't equipped with treating it. basic necessities such as masks and gloves also aren't available, thus making the situation worsen (especially with everything else going on adding to it)
FLOODS
lately yemen has been experiencing really bad floods that have torn down homes, destroyed food supplies and killed people. these floods have attributed to the spread of disease too
PLAGUE
yes, there is literally a plague now. it seems to have come after the floods, and has people are dropping dead. i think they still haven't found the cause but it affects your lungs. i don't know too much on this issue though, so please add if you have more information.
ECONOMIC CRISIS
since the start of the civil war in 2015, yemen's economy contracted by 50% due to the inflation and devaluation of the rial. people are hungry because of poverty and lack of jobs, and while you could potentially flee war, you can't flee hunger.
BLOCKADE
the saudi military coalition currently has a blockade on yemen's sea, air & land ports which stops aid from coming in. though they apparently eased it a little, it's still there and having catastrophic effects on the situation.
EXTRA
here's more stuff that's happening in yemen
- no water & electricity
- high poverty rates
- food prices are too expensive
- multiple serious disease eg meningitis
- isis & al gaeda have carried out attacks
- corruption
ADDITIONAL NOTES
of course this isn't everything, all of these factors have consequences, like the collapse of public health sectors but i can't fit it all in. please research and educate yourselves on the situation, we're blessed to be in a time with multiple sources
Helpful Diagram!!
I was in a kitchen with coworkers, crouched on top of the fridge. A sheriff’s deputy came in and asked if we were the ones hunting the lions. A not too bright coworker said that we were, despite that not being true whatsoever, and I was mad because this would ruin the reputation of our workplace. Then a lion crashed through the window, we escaped and ran through the woods to a playground. We climbed the playground and I foolishly thought that we were safe but I forgot that lions can leap.
unfriendly reminder: this is a sex worker positive space. I will not tolerate the disrespect of sex workers here, and if you cant agree with that without a doubt then you're not welcome here.
I’ve been trying to find this for when i was trying to carry a water bottle while using a walker
Guys, I’m not kidding.
Suicide-baiting, cyberharassmemt, cyberstalking, death/rape threats, and hate speech are illegal in all 50 states as well as Australia and the UK.
Some places include school suspension or expels. Some even include jail time for multiple years.
And yes, they can find someone by username or IP alone.
Also, yes. There are methods of catching someone’s IP. Even under a VPN.
So.
Next time you get hit with anon hate?
Casually remind them you can very easily take this to the next level. And they can earn jail time while you lay back in your chair, having saved yourself and everyone else from a violent criminal.
Make sure they learn that.
(Just in case there’s a “the police wouldn’t do that” - Yes. They absolutely would.
Or a “I can handle it.” No. That person will continue to harass others as well. And one of them may not be as strong as you. So do it for them and everyone else.
Or a “It’s not that severe.” Yes. It is. People have died because of this. It really is that severe.)
Take action. And make sure the lives of these bullies are truly wrecked.
This isn't my idea/design but it's so gorgeous and overdue
Please, reblog! IIt’s called self defense. Apart from having here, in the US, one of the highest cases of homicide and rape in the world and high rate of GBV, think about how this could help your mother or sister
