We're Here Because We Forgot About Unions
We need good union PR. We need a parade.
Look, I'll be honest with you, I resisted starting a newsletter for ages. I think it is incorrect that people in creative fields have to do so many things now, to make a living. I think it's good these things are available to do! I just don't think they should be mandatory.
I think that making the thing you make should be enough. But we are where we are, and where we are is late stage capitalism, where money is thrown by the billions at silicon valley's newest obvious con and none is given to anyone else. I could talk ineptly about the economic policies that have led to this, the deregulation, the failure to enforce the few anti-trust laws left to us, but instead I'll talk about something fun:
Parades.
