ORGANIZING YOUR WORKPLACE

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.

being in a union (or unionizing)

it genuinely is so empowering and makes you feel more protected in your job and you get to be a part of a group caring about and pushing for better working conditions for each other… worker solidarity is veryyy in

being a nerd about stuff

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

not being on tiktok

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining people’s attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends - fake words that people now use IRL (“unalive”), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, “alpha male” podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche things… the list goes on
