unions

Fuck #unions suck. What an entitled bunch of whiny bitches.

🦊

I am downright delighted to announce that my latest book, YOU DESERVE A TECH UNION, has a brand new look. I really love it, and I hope you do too.

Here’s a look at what’s changed and—maybe more importantly—what’s stayed the same:

it's been quite a while, so lemme write a new #intro

#introduction #introductions

i'm raven, a silly #transgirl on the internet who likes to write, and create free-to-use #photography (mostly landscapes). u can find me on mastodon, and see what an overview of what i’m up to on my now page. i have so many interests and try my best to experience new things in this short life. some sort of neurospicy, tend to be overly genuine, a bit corny, over-opinionated at times

🩺 #nurse, 📸 #photographer, 👩‍💻 #linux nerd, 🏳️‍⚧️ #trans girl, 💞 #relationship anarchist, 🌱 #vegan for the animals, 🌹 #leftist, ✊ #union steward, 🧗‍♀️ #queer outdoor girlie, 🌠 star stuff, 🚴‍♀️ bikes are cool, 😽 certified girl/boy/nb-kisser, 😝 #silly adventurer

i work in the OR as a nurse and i love my job

“chaotic af, kinda scatter brained, but smart if that makes sense”

“very direct and able to be vulnerable very easily (a good thing!) and the most ethically-minded and community-focused person ive met!”

“an iceberg. you’ve got a fun, flirty, smolder of a vibe when people meet you initially. then after getting to talk with you people see that you’ve got way more going on under the surface of the water”

i upload my photography as creative commons attribution license, i don't own a car, i have a #cat named Loki who i post about under the #catsofmastodon tag, i'm #divorced after a 14 year marriage (not the outcome i wanted, but here i am), and now happily in relationships as a relationship anarchist.

i live in #pdx and want to make it a better place by organizing and creating #unions and #community

i do #rock-climbing, #bjj, #running, #swimming, #sailing, currently recovering from injuries

i love #webdesign and created a #hugo theme which i use for my website (on github)

yes, imma #puppygirl and silly af

"If you let workers believe that AI will soon replace them, they are going to try as much as they can to hold on to their jobs, do everything the boss says and behave so that they are not going to be fired."

#Unions must ask their members if they believe in a #generalstrike in support of #federalemployees and against the decimation of #healthcare as an appropriate response to a self-dealing and lawless administrative #anarchocapitalist coup.

A bundle of 150 games created by the United Videogame Workers union to support videogame industry workers in the US and Canada impacted by layoffs.

The new gig worker laws in Australia are going to make a huge difference for food delivery drivers. I even got an email from DoorDash telling me I have a right to join the relevant union which is the TWU! That must really annoy them after their big donations to the Liberals! #auspol #unions
