Ideally, contact your local UCFW (or other applicable union for your industry) and get a union drive started at your workplace, too. ‘They’ have limited resources to apply to union busting so more locations seeking a union is better.

Second best, contact the union and ask them how to support a specific unionization drive.

Third best, speak positively and enthusiastically about labor actions in front of everyone at opportune moments. Subscribe to a newsletter like Labor Notes because you cannot count on consistent and detailed reports from the tattered remnants of the media. Spread the word.

K. Who didn’t show up and vote?

It is liberals fault, legitimately.

I’m such a prude about this kind of thing. I have plenty of miles on my sex-odometer but still can’t or won’t do the degradation-talk thing.

A friend and I were trying to find a new song to work on performing together. We found a good sound with “Piss up a rope” by Ween, but I just couldn’t get any vocal punch on the line that advises the big booty beyatch to commence sucking. Like my autonomic nervous system wouldn’t let my diaphragm work properly.

Yet I am filthy in my casual speech among friends? It’s not speaking of sex acts that make me go cold, it’s specifically the degradation talk that my whole system seems to rebel against.

My poor lovers, it’s probably like receiving kind and gentle directions to perform filthy acts on my body directly from Fred Rogers.
