the problem with celebrating girl bosses is at the end of the day you are celebrating bosses. society oriented around hierarchy is not feminist because it requires inequality. let's think about this! the problem with patriarchy is not that some humans are born with dicks. the problem is structuring society around the unequal distribution of power. placing women within that architecture doesn't level it. but re-orienting around lateral movement building & collective organizing can! imo!

Anyone skeptical about the power of #unions and what they can do for workers (and remember; if you don't own the means of production, you are a worker) should check out Iceland with its 92.2% participation. Today three large unions, that collectively have around 1/5th of the nation as members, agreed to terms with industry representatives and the government for all kinds of workers benefits for the next four years. Unions work, as long as people join them. https://www.ruv.is/frettir/innlent/2024-03-07-langtimasamningur-til-fjogurra-ara-undirritadur-406805

I am not a fan of folks "donating" their free labor to LinkedIn's Expert Answers feature. Do this for a non-profit or the common good, but why do it for LinkedIn aka Microsoft Corp??? (Looking at you, folks in #Libraries ) #FreeLabor #UnpaidLabor #ExtractiveBusinessModels #UserReliance #CorporateDependence #Commodification #DigitalLabor #IntellectualLabor

JFC, people in tech are really out there saying that language models will be better at therapy, financial advice, and career advice than trained people. WTF is wrong with you people? Do you really have no clue about what other people’s jobs actually involve? Language models can’t even do maths how are they supposed to get good at financial advice? And therapy? Just… 😑 What’s wrong with people in tech?
