Anil DashI said 5 years ago when the teachers' strikes began, but we're at the crest of the biggest wave of labor organizing since WWII, and owners & execs can feel however the fuck they need to feel, but it's happening. The pop culture moment of actors joining in today will make this real to millions more who don't pay as close attention, but who do see what happens to stars they know.
Ian Rose@anildash Yeah, it's a really crucial time. People are about to feel it in two places that have felt untouchable for a while now -- the shows they watch and their online package orders. The labor that goes into both, and the extent of the inequality in those industries, deserve the spotlight they're about to get. I'm excited.
thicc first layer@ianrosewrites @anildash it’s kind of mind-blowing that it’s possible that a pack of alcohol swabs is delivered from China to my doorstep for $1.20. I can’t even get a cab to the city for $1.20. Some things aren’t adding up.
