This is MAJOR!
BREAKING: We won!

Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

After THREE FUCKING YEARS ON STRIKE, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers have WON!

Like Sergeant Apone says, the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh are absolutely badasses. What an incredible display of solidarity, and a model for us all.

Baseball equipment is headed from the House to the Senate, and it's not for a friendly pick up game between the Dems of each chamber.

Oh, Senate Dems, always snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

For the lols, earlier today News Max reported on the kind words Donald Rumsfeld had for Dick Cheney upon learning of the former VP's death.

...before removing it because Rumsfeld has been in hell since 2021.

I'm clearing out my old college era personal email, and while a lot of the emails have been boring or even depressing stuff (lots of job applications, rejections, or job offers that had been rescinded) but I have been laughing at updates from the Great and Terrible Tim.

As a writer, I strive to always relfect our world somehow, esp in fantasy and sci fi. In Kipo, I wrote about a fictional dystopian Los Angeles that LGBTQ+ kids are very much a part of, bc it reflects the real LA we based it on. LGBTQ+ kids exist. Trans kids exist. That shouldn't be controversial.

Sorry I blinked out for a bit.

The union was declared at my workplace. Management has recognized the union.

It was over a year of work. I am over the moon.
