The Sesame Workers Union is looking for a way to get to a fair & equitable Sesame Street. More than a year after employees at @SesameWorkersunion voted to unionize they’re still fighting for a contract that supports living in an increasingly unaffordable city. We stand in solidarity with their them.

Goodnight, friends. Ursula K. Le Guin shared this bit of wisdom in her novel The Dispossessed, and tonight, I'm sharing it with you. We may not have the wealth that our technocapitalist overlords do, but that's ok. The revolution is not for sale. The revolution is US. I love you.

A new image from Etsy seller ArtLight Media. It shows a blue stylized lighted torch on the left. A quote from Ursula K. Le Guin reads: You've cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit or it is nowhere.

Goodnight, friends. I had grandparenting duties today, so I wasn't able to join in #NoKings on the ground. But I put signs on my car and followed along with the coverage here. Thanks to everyone who showed up and took a stand against fascism. I love you.
