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

Mutual aid is not just a disaster response, it’s a way of caring for one another, building stronger communities, and preparing for whatever life may throw at us next. It’s a labor of love—and a way of life.

I put together a reading list (and words of advice) for LitHub: lithub.com/we-only-have...
We Only Have Ourselves: The How-Tos and DOs and DON’Ts of Mutual Aid
For all of humanity’s many, many flaws, one of our most redeeming characteristics as a species is an almost-universal desire to connect with one another. When terrible things happen and communities…

if you are trans and need your resume edited, hmu. i'm a professional resume editor. i offer sliding scale and pro bono.
alright you wanna know how to support trans people?

Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

In my new op-ed for @tnr.bsky.social: Democrats abandoned their base for a neoconservative pipe dream.

That's why we, the people, must come in and transform the party, whether its entrenched leadership wants it or not: newrepublic.com/article/1881...
Democrats Need to Clean House Before They Screw Up Again
It wasn't just the people running Kamala Harris's campaign who failed. The leadership of the entire party is at fault.
