No Starbucks 'til workers get more bucks
(and whatever else it is they are striking for)
(and whatever else it is they are striking for)
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

If only our society took major crimes by rich people as seriously as minor crimes by poor people. Ideally more seriously. But as seriously would be a big improvement.

I'm just going to lie to myself that this will go to a good home. 10+ episode seasons, continuing the upward trend of each season overall.
The fact she's still talking about it is a good sign, or I'd take it that way.

I can't decide if I desperately need to talk to someone who's read Altar and is good with spoilers, or I desperately need to tell no one and use this bottled up excitement to force me to write more.

Politicians who change parties after election should have to win a special election to keep their seat. Let the voters decide.

Everything being bad and difficult all the damned time is getting a bit tedious. Just saying.

"You also have no guaranteed access to an aisle from an aisle seat. The inflight meal might be rocks -- we don't promise it's edible. Also just because it says 'plane' do not expect a plane, a tractor might show up, or just a guy who is going to carry you to your destination on piggyback."

"The use of the word 'window' in reference to a particular seat cannot reasonably be interpreted as a promise that the seat will have an exterior window view,"

Elections, laws and a binding social contract were the compromise position against "we rise up together, take all your shit and cut off your head."
And the elite forgot that.
And the elite forgot that.
The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

Thought up the actual moment of the main reveal in The Chained God. Abstractly, I've known it all along. But knowing what form it takes and seeing it with such clarity that I could write it now. What a head rush.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Apropos of nothing in particular: SHOES
Per the FEMA training I took 30 years ago, the one thing that best ensures your survival in a disaster is whether you made it out of the building with shoes on.
Everything else can just be scrap-wraps, but shoes are high-tech. Put them on first, then run.

So much this. Especially being in publishing, where it's just kind of expected that you'll spend years doing full-time work in publishing WHILE having a day job before you can make publishing your career (if you ever can)
Do others struggle with guilt & inadequacy because of disability? Like I can't go that hard, I can't do that thing, what's that say about my worth. I know all that is nonsense internalized ableism but I can't be the only one who deals with it.
