As of this morning, @nytguildtech.bsky.social, which represents NYT tech workers, is on strike.

Unless it's resolved while today's Wordle is still live, this streak is gone.

Here's a 🧵 with info on the picket line and how you can help. PLEASE READ — the rules may not be what you think!

A thread with all the helpful posts, tools etc. I find around bsky/web to improve your experience on this site!

I'll update this as I find more, so if you know of anything I haven't included, please let me know!

Reposts are very welcome so more people know.

I feel this deeply, and it is exactly how I feel about gaiman's behavior as well as jk rowlings decent into the mire of nastiness and cartoonish hatred, sullying their work forever. Because it means both of them learned nothing from their own work, or from *this work*, of art and empathy and story

If there’s one thing I hope we take from this last century of legal upheaval, it is this: Justice is a practice, not a reachable end state.
