for anyone interested, @hammerandhope.bsky.social ran an article on exactly this: "An organized urban wing of the railroad called vigilance committees focused on protecting, supporting, and learning from fugitives. That education went in both directions..."

If you pop in here to say “I’ll still get my kid vaxed” & smugly think that’s doing enough, well, congrats on not understanding herd immunity, public health, or any of the lessons of the past half decade.
Congrats too for falling for the false, neoliberal idea of “individualistic” public health.

I hear this a lot when people ask me questions about what our union is doing for us or if "the union" can step in and solve an issue they've heard of. Our union isn't doing anything FOR us, we ARE the union and we are doing this together!

Today's holiday rec is ART WORK by Sally Mann, a great collection of essays/memoir about creativity from one of our best photographers. With copious photos, images, and the great first lines "This is a book about how to get shit done. Or, more particularly, how I got it done. Or didn't." 2/?
