This #OpEd column by writer and radical organizer @kimkelly.bsky.social connects worker struggles and the current state of the American labor movement with its storied — and sometimes bloodied — past.

I'm looking forward to Tourmaline's biography of Marsha P coming in May: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/677583...

We can't become complacent with these viruses. My quote from the article: "I don’t think we should characterize 2.3.4.4b viruses as intrinsically less pathogenic compared to earlier clades, because we know that one or two mutations can greatly change the pathogenicity profile of these viruses.”

Be ready for anything.

saw someone say the newest the cure album was the best since disintegration, so i put on some headphones to check it out. unfortunately it’s a middling retreading of earlier work - bloodflowers & disintegration leapt out immediately, & i could probably pick out more on a re-listen. disappointing!

watching Toys, the robin williams movie from the 90s, for the first time in probably 20 years and the production design is incredible. like if wes anderson was having fun instead of strangling the life out of all his stuff

"MAKE 2024 THE FINAL YEAR: ABOLISH TIME! Let us be free from the boring drudgery of work and capitalism that Time makes possible. Every clock is a cop. We call for the complete and total abolition of Time itself. (...) NO MORE DEAD TIME ONLY PARTY TIME" Poster spotted in New Orleans, Louisiana

I think I post these every year but they always feel right. Woody Guthrie’s NY resolutions for 1943. 31. Love everybody 32. Make up your mind 33. Wake up and fight

The black quilt in back is by Anna Von Mertens. It’s called “December 29, 1890, Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota, the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper in the final hour before dawn” I’m going to put her statement about her work in the alt, it’s worth reading

got to hang with some teamsters 2day and listen to impassioned discussion about amazon and really connecting with young union members & it just felt nice to be surrounded by labor advocates who are passionate about their work

excited to be volunteering for this party (i’m doing deco!) with the seattle dyke alliance, get yr tickets online or at the door! www.eventbrite.com/e/wickedly-q...

if anyone needs me i’ll be speedrunning the stages of grief today

i would pay real earth monies for a recording of this song, which i have sadly been unable to locate.

i got my covid booster *and* flu shot yesterday, and requested a longer 1.5 inch needle since i’m over 200 pds - and obvs correlation ≠ causation but today i felt…fine? sore arm but otherwise good? still bewildered that i’ve never had a pharmacist use a bigger needle until i outright asked for one.
