Hey Bluesky, could you help me spread the word about my Big Cartel shop? A sale or two would be a colossal help. Here's a pic of who I currently have available. All of my creations are designed, sewn, and hand-embroidered by me. Each takes many hours to make. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. If workers stand together, they will win. Solidarity.

It’s my first Labor Day as a member of a union (SAG-AFTRA!) and I’m grateful for the support and opportunity a union provides.

A Covid ward RN told me that their janitor was sent in to clean up rooms without PPE, she caught Covid and died. Vaccines weren't available yet. Their hospital locked up PPE, claimed that the person w/ the keys was unavailable, told everyone to work without PPE or bring from home

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

In Soviet Union they used to tell a joke about a man who buys the newspaper every AM, looks at the front page, curses, & throws it away. "Why do you keep doing that?," the seller asks. "I’m looking for an obituary." "But those aren't on the front page!" ..."Oh, the one I’m looking for will be."

So regularly destroyed is trans stuff that it's an obscure fact that 2 words beginning with trans (transfeminate and transection) were in English dictionaries to describe someone who 'changed sex' from the mid 1600s until well into the 20th century.

I'll say it once and I'll say it again. If you think artists are just "naturally talented", you're deeply wrong. The only difference between you and us is that we kept trying when it didn't come out like we hoped. You can always make art yourself. There's no bad time to start, you can start now.

I know this is not a unique experience, I'm sure everybody has had these interactions. And yes, I understand we all must live within the confines of our society. For example, I am an environmentalist but I live in a city with sparse public transit so I drive many places and can't get a new car.

The Moon is already part of the Archdiocese of Orlando I believe. Following the tradition that a "discovered" place falls under the diocese of wherever the ship that landed there departed from. So we do have precedent for how Catholicism spreads to other celestial bodies.
