RIP Neel Nanda. We keep losing the best of us. It’s so sad. I didn’t know him well but whenever we interacted he was funny and kind and loved standup. I wish him peace.
I've been a union organizer for 25+ years. I've lost & had campaigns not go as well as they could have. Theoretically the workers *should* want a union & *should* want to fight to improve their jobs, but they don't spontaneously. Every organizer knows this.
My job means that I restrain my impulse to talk shit about politicians because I need to work with them, but I’ve been having to restrain a LOT lately.

Tickets at the link in bio. Special guests! This pic seems fun, right?
“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.” - Ursula K. Le Guin
