maybe mom doesnât always know best, but she knows best about a lot of things. maybe most. i think it makes perfect sense that in a lot of cultures, religions, and spiritual traditions that the âmotherâ can be such a key figure; from Mary to Gaia, itâs like humans have always known this in our bones (and if you donât have a mom to call, a mother figure works just as well!)
being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and itâs actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic youâre passionate about
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKERâS DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. đĽł
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you donât have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIOâs page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. thereâs always more power in a union!! âđĽđš
