First, as noted above, most U.S. workers report some form of electronic monitoring on the job, with more than two-thirds (68 percent) of U.S. workers reporting at least one form of electronic monitoring. Overall rates of electronic worker surveillance cut across occupational and industry lines, and were just as common among blue collar workers as among white collar workers—though the specific types of surveillance varied by the kind of work. One of the strongest predictors of the adoption of electronic surveillance was employer size: workers in larger organizations were substantially more likely to report all forms of surveillance than were workers in small organizations.

Second, I found very strong relationships between certain forms of electronic monitoring and worker health and safety. In particular, I found that workers who reported more intensive electronic productivity monitoring at their jobs were substantially more likely to report anxiety at work; needing to work at unsafe speeds; and experiencing work-related injuries in the past year, especially serious injuries. These differences persist even after accounting for a range of workers’ own demographic characteristics, as well as characteristics of their jobs and workplaces. The association between electronic monitoring and negative health and safety outcomes for workers across all sectors of the economy—not just those receiving attention in the past, such as warehousing—strongly calls for policy attention and action.

depression 10/10 today. i felt good after stopping the drugs last week. but the albatri still hang around my neck. and I've come back to earth, to reality, to depression. can't call the lawyer. can't do anything.

new theory to be disproven soon: i go on a drug, feel good for a week, then back to the depression. i go off a drug, feel good for a week, then back to the depression. TMS, ECT, or that fancy new shit, electrodes in the brain. I need my electronics re-wired. At least give me a shot with EMDR! Please, I need to do something. Just bumbling along every 2 weeks, might as well not even leave the house. And then it's "do we need to be worried" which is code for the sanitarium. Just the deepest loneliness.

You know, I felt pretty good yesterday. I launched a blog. Posted a few things. Only those who love me will read it. Whatever. I'll never be popular, just the way it is. It was obvious after losing that election for College [redacted] [literally an example of experience matters [redacted]]. So it goes. Some people can convince others and some can't. I didn't get programmed with the winning code.

But I felt good yesterday, and terrible today. I think I'm depressed cowering in front of the albatross.

I was going to say "I have this fatal flaw" and then I thought of two more. Stop thinking, I'll only come up with more.

I was prepared for a lot of challenges. But not someone destroying me from the inside. An abuse victim is the best practitioner. [redacted]. What a team.

I called some mental health places looking for group therapy. But I don't even want the mental health system, I just want a support group. I guess they don't exist for me. Called the [redacted] County Mental Health resources number, they just gave me 3 places to call because their thing is limited to medicaid. [That's a good example of how fucked our healthcare system is, I think I'm going to stop voting].

I called the 3 places. One didn't have group therapy. I left a voicemail for another, probably won't hear back. Tried to call a third. Never connected. Then I cried. Then I looked up support groups but on Psychology Today, thinking now that's probably the wrong place for a group not led by a mental health professional. But I called some doctor who leads a group. Probably won't call me back either. Just found the local MHA affiliate and left a voicemail. Maybe they'll call back.

Crying. I feel best when I'm crying.

Yes, I’m in the USA.

if umamusume exist, i would hire them to replace most machine in construction site. Maintaining them is not cheap.

well, OSHA may not be too happy about it.

The European Union says Twitter alternative Bluesky violates the EU Digital Services Act rules around information disclosure, reports Reuters. But since Bluesky isn’t yet big enough to be considered a “very large online platform” under the DSA, the regulator says it can’t regulate Bluesky the way it does X or Threads. The Financial Times quotes European Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier, who told reporters about the violation during a Monday press briefing: “All platforms in the EU . . . have to have a dedicated page on their website where it says how many users they have in the EU and where they are legally established,” said commission spokesman Thomas Regnier. “This is not the case for Bluesky as of today. This is not followed.” ...

Yep, I got arrested trying to block a coal ship in the world's largest coal port and I'm proud as fuck, give all your love to the protest organisers. I've talked about it a ton over in this thread (and a few others in similar communities). I was joined by a handful of other people, including a student doctor who is in this photo but hard to see, she's on my right in the shade. She's so damn brave and a huge inspiration.

This took place at the People's Blockade, an annual "protestival" organised by a group called Rising Tide.

I'm the (misgendered 😡) 27 year old in this article.

170 people then set a new record for the largest civil disobedience action in Australian history the following day, they're all incredibly brave people who have had enough.

We fought the government in court and won the right to protest against the fossil fuel corporations who are burning our children's futures. We also fight to secure the future jobs of the workers in these industries, demanding a 78% tax on current fossil fuel projects to help them in the transition to a renewable future.

It's been a long few days, I've just arrived home about half an hour ago. Goodnight.
