In 2020 my coworkers and I started talking to each other about how to fix what wasn’t working with our jobs and protect what we loved about them. Almost a year later, we lost a hard fought union campaign. I learned a lot in between. My piece in Reboot this week: joinreboot.org/p/nearest-ne...

Embarrassing. They're going to feel so stupid in 10 years when nobody's wearing dead salmon hats anymore.

Orcas start wearing dead salmon hats again after ditching the trend for 37 years

Orcas off the coast of Washington State are balancing dead fish on their heads like it's the 1980s, but researchers still aren't sure why they do it.

They tell you that they’re hiring you to solve problems. What they’re not telling you is all of those problems are internal.

All of his major scams start on the pretext of introducing ‘transparency’.

Okay, one more random tip for newbies: if someone quote-skeets (yes, they're called skeets, shut up) you in a way to dunk on your or annoy you, you can "detach" your skeet from the quote, so that it no longer shows. This is also useful in ending brigading attacks.
