mechanics, plumbers, carpenters, artists, teachers,
almost everything we get to enjoy in this beautiful world is thanks to the efforts of the working class and we should show them all our love!

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S 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. 🥳
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 don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹

It’s May Day / International Workers’ Day, and a great reminder that we weren’t put on this planet to work. While most of us are in the position where we have to exchange our time and labor for money, there’s no reason why we can’t demand better pay, benefits, parental leave, safe work environments, and to be treated with respect by our employers. Organizing your workplace and forming a union is one of the best ways to build a collective voice and find strength in numbers so you can begin to lodge grievances and make meaningful changes to how the organization is run and your own quality of life at work.
Organizing my former workplace was a thrill, a career highlight, and something that I believe will lead to positive changes for current and future employees. There is currently a wave of cultural and municipal employees organizing in Chicago and across the country, a gorgeous reminder that we deserve more and better from our employers.

hands look like this so shorty’s don’t
lots of down time to do stupid sh*t and joke with co-workers
never have to look at a computer screen (but plenty time to scroll PI.FYI)
work outside and touch grass
meet interesting people
learn valuable life skills every day
you tire out your body but not your mind at the end of the day, so you still have energy to create things after a quick nap
plenty of crazy stories to write and tell about
actually get paid to help people, not some empty corporation
Highly recommend

i sob over nothing! i hyperfixate for hours! im painfully bad with social cues!
i've wasted so many years of my life trying to mask, and for what???
