C’mon. Let’s not do this.

Jesus, you’re reacting badly to this.

I wish journalists/media would leave other people the fuck alone and stop writing stupid, speculative, invasive bullshit like this.

Am I the only one that listened to this podcast and thought it was actually terrible? I don’t mean the production quality — that was very good — but like, this whole shit about Richard Simmons owing any of these people anything like they deserve a piece of him? Like, sure, it would be nice if a friend who wanted to…

An organized labor strike looks REEEEEEALLLY different from the disorganization that was this strike. I wasn’t even aware you were supposed to wear a color until I got a text the morning of telling me to. I belong to several local progressive women’s groups.

All due respect, I thin conflating the Women’s Strike to anything in the Civil Rights Movement is foolhardy. One thing that has always struck me about the civil rights movement was how damn ORGANIZED they were (and that just emphasizes how unorganized the current “resistance” is). The Montgomery Bus Boycott worked…
