today was my last day at the college library (for now) and they got me a giant leaf balloon ("we're sad you're leafing!") the only problem is that i had dinner plans immediately after work and this timed perfectly for me to bring a comically large leaf balloon onto a train full of sad mariners fans.

“Men suffer in silence” then why am I constantly hearing about it
this is hilarious to me as a woman on the left because it seems like every conversation is absolutely dominated by this topic, either explicitly or implicitly
The left is completely silent on the subject of men getting laid - which, generally speaking, they are v.interested in doing and will continue to be interested in regardless of whether progressives want to talk about it. So the stage has been left entirely clear for the far-right.

You can also donate directly to the UFW by going to this link. They are on the ground helping other farm workers every day, including the folks who were rounded up in that horrific raid last week. bsky.app/profile/ufw....
This week chaotic federal immigration sweeps occurred in fields across CA-including Ventura, Kern & Tulare counties. You may have seen videos of agents chasing farm workers thru the field. Workers are terrorized.
Your gift can help us fight back.

Strikes must be voted in by the membership. Yes, wildcat strikes happen. And sometimes they are necessary. But those are usually unique circumstances. Generally, you want to strike with support of the union because it gives you access to strike funds and legal protections,
