This is a time for class solidarity. This is a time to unionize if not already in a union
Friendly reminder that when Elon offered Twitter employees a payout to resign, they never got it. Now he’s trying the same stunt with federal workers. Same guy, same empty promises. Don’t fall for it.

In other news, I picked up a book at an estate sale recently that I’m drawing inspiration, hope and understanding from. It’s called “hard times” and it’s a compilation of verbal accounts of folks who lived through the Great Depression. Except they got FDR, and we got a more German inspired dude…

I have long felt that when I have a typical Monday-Friday style schedule, Friday afternoons and evenings are to decompress at home, to be a hermit, and to engage in either solitary hedonism or parallel play with a quiet buddy.
