  3. Hypothesis: many of the professors who argue that cops need more money for “training” and “technology” have financial incentives to provide those things.

  5. mad respect for the people who know their own energies enough to put “18+ only” in their bios

  6. my sense, from talking to the workers in oakland, was that most of them seemed to have normie politics? it was really lovely to see how people came (and were still coming) together & thought of ways to support/convince each other while trying to save a workplace they loved

  7. forgot that i wrote this last year! it’s about a smol biz that was owned by a woman who suddenly decided to shut down. workers saved their jobs by forming a coop. every situation is obvs different but i remember feeling hope after researching/writing this.

  13. AITA: my friend wrote treatises abt supporting worker-led orgs, pretended we were a coop, never expressed dissatisfaction with my job performance, tried to unilaterally fire me w/o warning, but then! sent me a napkin that said “sorry :( i had to” am i the asshole for being mad?

  14. Oh are we talking about law school? Advice for 1Ls: 1) Law school is a system designed to destroy your sense of morality and justice in order to make you into a system-touching handservant for capital. Don’t let it. 2) law school looks nothing like the practice of law

  15. I don’t have advice for 1Ls. All I offer is this: I was a first generation law student. On my first day of law school, I’d never read a case, never talked to a lawyer in real life, and could not have distinguished a tort from a tart. It was bewildering at first and then it was ok

  20. congratulations! you may have spent zero mins thinking about workplace democracy, are somehow proud to be a sucker at your own job, and coincidentally appear to have the imagination span of a goldfish, but it’s contrarian day, so you win the likes! you win the follows! enjoy xo
