Had another nightmare. This time I was in an open plan office. That should be enough to induce a dread emotion 🤨 on top of that I had to rearrange my desk in relation to the ones on either side of me. I had to navigate being autistic with balancing what I needed and trying not be too demanding. This reflects my conversation with a friend yesterday, I know I have multiple packages on my desk at work because even though I go to work, I don't sit at my desk, it's open plan and altogether TOO quiet - people can hear other people BREATHE. I prefer to work at home or in the library. #dream #work #ActuallyAutistic


I had a meeting with my supervisor scheduled for 3pm. It's now delayed for a little while. Mean time, I can't start doing anything else... just waiting, I guess. Perfect time for a cup of tea. #work

Reasons to Hate Capitalism #218 - Capitalist propaganda tells us we have to work for a living, but life shouldn’t be dependent on working for others (& them profiting from our fear of starvation) #capitalism #anticapitalism #work
 @msolurin

| really hate the “no person who works a full time job should live in poverty” discourse because it should simply be that nobody deserves to live in poverty. We gotta let go of this idea that we work in exchange for worth. People are innately worthy + deserving of the basics


The job is in climate change and sustainability. I really want to work on something that will make a difference so this job meets that criteria! #work

I found a job that I want and I am going to apply for it. I am only doing so because the job is part time, I want to finish my damned PhD. But also, working full time is not healthy for my multiple chronic illnesses and autism. My mind and body need more rest than other people #work

🧵 …this may not matter to most, but art, creativity and authors, among others, can lose out in this regard. As I mentioned earlier in German, AI doesn't give a damn about intellectual property.

Jeez in 2025 we shouldn't be having to argue that overwork is bad for you. Working through the weekend just sounds like ridiculous performative presenteeism to me. Quantity over quality.

'Sure, you might feel like you’re temporarily winning because you’re working more hours than the “opposing team”, but where does all of this end? Working the occasional overtime isn’t going to kill anyone, but doing it repeatedly and gleefully as part of your identity just might.'

Just a reminder, especially in this wild time we live in. DO NOT INSTALL WORK MDM ON YOUR PERSONAL DEVICE.
If your work requires Microsoft Intune or similar MDM, to get email/teams/slack. don't accept it. It opens your device up for them to access private data and disable/delete your phone (even if they say they wont, they can)

"A woman who laid her coat on her sleeping son during cold winter nights on her return from work at an asbestos factory in Leeds did not know she was killing him."

Headline: Asbestos: a corporate coverup, a public health catastrophe

Dek: In the UK, thousands of people are still dying every year from exposure to the asbestos fibres in our homes, schools and workplaces. My dad was one of them.

If you're wondering what the impact of a four day working week might be on productivity (the critics claim it will have no, or a negative impact), Iceland's ongoing experiment suggests, that consultation on, and then the reorganisation of, the working week into four days has led to a major uplift in productivity.

Even allowing for the fact that Iceland's economy is not a direct parallel to the UK, this report should encourage us to shift to a four day work week!

The publication I work for uses US English, which I'm now very used to, and it's fine, but my novel/thesis/everyday language is Aus English, and while I'm writing this afternoon (not for work), it's so obvious to me how much more I prefer Aus English.

I think it comes down to the appearance of the words, for me, since they're how I learnt English, it's more aesthetically pleasing, and honestly that's how I edit and write anyway -- does it look/feel correct? Then yes, it is correct. It's like I learnt the rules and then internalised the appearance as the right kind of beautiful (this is how edit grammar and punctuation, too)

Please note that I'm not saying that the version of English I use is more correct than any other English, language or dialect! I'm just musing on how I experience writing and editing and how it feels to do the work I do

Well yesterday was rough after figuring out I don't really have a job anymore because the fires burned down the entire neighborhood my job was in.

But today I feel better, and focused, and I need a job.

So if anyone in LA needs a lead host and waiter with about a decade of experience, who can also do prep work, cashiering and simple barista work for pretty much any job imaginable (I wouldn't mind trying something new):

We should talk :D

4. Food and shelter (and other bits and bobs), in our society, cost money.

5. Parenting being unpaid, but a lot of work, often makes the main-carer parent a dependent of one kind or another. Being dependent can be quite a powerless, even humiliating, position in society.

"Workers should have the right to know which of their data is being collected, who it's being shared by, and how it's being used. We all should have that right. That's what the actors' strike was partly motivated by: actors who were being ordered to wear mocap suits to produce data that could be used to produce a digital double of them, "training their replacement," but the replacement was a deepfake.

With a Trump administration on the horizon, the future of the FTC is in doubt. But the coalition for a new privacy law includes many of Trumpland's most powerful blocs – like Jan 6 rioters whose location was swept up by Google and handed over to the FBI. A strong privacy law would protect their Fourth Amendment rights – but also the rights of BLM protesters who experienced this far more often, and with far worse consequences, than the insurrectionists.

The "we do it with an app, so it's not illegal" ruse is wearing thinner by the day. When you have a boss for an app, your real boss gets an accountability sink, a convenient scapegoat that can be blamed for your misery.

The fact that this makes you worse at your job, that it loses your boss money, is no guarantee that you will be spared. Rich people make great marks, and they can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. Markets won't solve this one – but worker power can."

Next was an interesting last day of the National Bureau of Economic Research's WFH shock to labor markets event https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fkmw59jF0W (5/12) #work #RemoteWork #economics


First was a great slate of talks on remote work at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research with Emma Williams-Baron (gendered implications for the rise of remote work, highly recommend), Hira Farooqi (women's labor market outcomes and fertility choices), Hoyoung Yoo (consequences of remote workers on local residents), and Alma Andino-Frydman (what constitutes a "digital nomad") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwZhk5Sq1c8 (2/12) #work #economics #RemoteWork
