a chapter or two (maybe intro + ch 1) from Braxton Soderman & Tom Boellstorff’s new book on Intellivision perhaps? i’d guess a lot of people are thinking abt the connections between toys and vgs (and mil-tech) — plus Mattel is in the zeitgeist post-Barbie

unions represent everyone in-unit (not just members), and in unionized workplaces the union is the first line of defence against layoffs/NOIDs. this is the culture in these STEM fields though: one of fear and contingency which means workers more often just shut up and take abuse.

many intl workers think that even joining a union will put them in their boss’ crosshairs and make them (and their families) targets for deportation. obviously this is the opposite of how it should be: members more often know their rights and can faster address infractions.

back at it again today at 3:30am! a few @uaw4811.bsky.social / @uawregion6.bsky.social members from irvine out in Huntington Beach assisting our @sbworkersunited.org union siblings surprise management with a full shutdown!
