in north vancouver, there is a big pile of bright yellow sulphur. it’s a byproduct from tar sands from alberta, and is shipped off to be made into fertilizer and other things. it’s been there for ages and will almost certainly continue to be there for ages as well.
there is another, similar sulphur pile in port moody (20 or so km east of the north vancouver pile), from the same source and shipped off for the same purpose. it’s less “one big pile” and more “two long piles side by side”.
the first one has been listed as “big yellow sulphur pile” on google maps for ages, while the port moody one didn’t have anything…
until recently, when someone changed the site name to “bigger yellow sulphur pile”

I really hope people online aren’t getting the wrong impression of unions and that they’re flawless Things that will protect them from any and all mistreatment and that strikes are fun little treats union workers get
Unions are People not Things. Union leaders can fuck up. Unions can definitely operate in a way that gets you low wages and poor benefits if you’re not being represented well.
A union by itself does not guarantee you anything. Unions take work and money to run. You pay dues, you go to meetings, you vote. You protect each other in a union. You don’t join a union and magically have everything taken care of for you.
Strikes are a powerful tool but are scary. They’re not a goal to achieve. Unions don’t aim to go on strike during negotiations.
I can feel The dryness of those markers in my bones
Fun fact those dry markers were supposed to have water put into them to make them work. You take off the bottom thing and pour water in and bam, instant marker success. Only learned about this four years after I’d lost my set 🙃
WHAT
WHAT
WHAT
