New to mastodon. Looking to share thoughts on the US and World Community. Looking forward to hearing from others and consider their thoughts and insights. Living in the deep South (originally from the North) where some folks are still fighting the Civil War. My commitment is to honor and respect all in our interactions.
As a painter, hope to post some of my work, if I can figure out how to work mastodon. Cheers!
I hadn't remembered until a bit ago that my latest book has been out for one year today.🎆

The GOP rails on and on about immigration, and when they can’t find enough exploitable labor because of immigration crackdowns they don’t advocate for paying people more. No, instead they make it easier to exploit child workers, you know, like we used to back when kids dying in industrial accidents was just fine.

- Deadlines extension due to having kids
- Flexible working hours
What do we actually want:
- A safe work environment with no everyday sexism
- Fair review processes, double-blind where possible
- Being included in the important conversations
- Equal treatment in being considered for promotions and pay raises
- Not being forced into service work that no one wants to do

@BlackAzizAnansi A situation where an extreme minority fringe holds the majority of the population hostage, is not sustainable.
@BlackAzizAnansi As frustrating as it is, I think asking that question to almost every acquaintance is important. Especially here in Florida. People may think I'm crazy. But I'd rather be crazy now than realize I was complicit later.
Damn -- this clip of Teamsters Pres Sean O’Brien laying the smack down on "greedy CEO" Markwayne Mullin is one of the most heated you'll see from a Senate hearing. Here's the full exchange. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rg3Jn-0UhI
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
