Y’ever read something and have understanding that has eluded you interminably suddenly stop, curl up, and snuggle neatly into a fold in your brain because a new way way opened to it?
I’ve seen this passes around a few times, and I have one thing to say:
It’s online. The book was carefully and wonderfully recreated online by hand. You can find it here. The entire book is this easy.
The Greek goddess Baubo had eyes for tits and a vulva for a mouth, and her baudy jokes were so raunchy, they brought Demeter out of her depression over losing her daughter (Persephone), ending the endless winter.
Don’t worry about being the main character of whatever ‘story’ you find yourself in. Be a talking cunt and you might just save the world.
reminds me of the ribald dance performed by the Shinto Goddess Ame-no-Uzume in order to lure the sun deity, Amaterasu Omikami out of the cave where she’d hidden herself
The strike was initiated by IF Metall after five years of Tesla refusing to negotiate a collective agreement.
It is the first formal labor conflict called against Tesla anywhere in the world.
The National Mediation Office summoned both parties, but Tesla’s representatives quickly withdrew from negotiations.
The strike was then extended to include all repair shops servicing Tesla vehicles in Sweden.
Swedish employer unions have also pressured Tesla to cave and align with the country’s labour model.
Strikebreakers have been sent in, a tactic forbidden since the 1930s by agreement between the Swedish unions and employers. (Ie. not illegal but liable to make the entire country hate you.)
As noted by Atle Høie, general secretary of IndustriALL, an industrial union confederation representing 50 million workers in 140 countries: “Elon Musk’s business model is to avoid respecting human rights. Now he is taken on by one of our strongest unions. We must defeat the Tesla business model, and Sweden is the best place to start.”
Sweden has one of the highest rates of unionization out of the Nordics (which have the highest rates of unionization globally alongside Cuba and Vietnam) and the thing about that is you get sympathy strikes:
Tesla’s presence in the country is limited compared to those, but I think it’s fair to say their choice is going to be between pulling out or caving to their demands, because these kinds of threats to union power are not tolerated.
If you’ve seen news declaring the strike was called off and that the workers are all happy with their jobs: It’s misinfo, those are scabs, the strike is on and it could very well break Tesla’s resistance to unionization and trigger a domino effect in other countries if the Swedes win out.
