a place to vent and stuff

Yes, we do have the right to make demands on public behavior. Of course we do. Have you never heard of laws and etiquette? I’m not allowed to grocery shop naked. You can’t rummage through my purse. I can’t have a work meeting in the middle of a movie theatre.

I remember when it was taboo simply to answer your cell phone in public. The person answering would apologize and try to go to a more private area. Then public calls were normalized. Then putting people on speaker. Then listening to music without headphones. Do you know how many times I have hiked up a mountain or driven to the beach, only to be met with someone blaring shitty top 40 music from their portable speaker, because Heaven forbid you go one hour without noise?

It was obnoxious when it was youtube.

It was obnoxious when it was music.

It was obnoxious when it was the radio. 

It was obnoxious when it was dudes wanting to talk to you instead of letting you just read your freaking book.

Do you want to be this guy? Because being obnoxious in shared spaces is how you become this guy. 

they want you to stop there and stew in your resentment instead of following the logic forward to hey maybe if i had a union i would have better pay!

and they say stuff like “working conditions” for the same reason because they know it conjures the image of a sweatshop or something and you’re like well that’s absurd writers work in offices how bad could it be they don’t have “working conditions”

they want you to stop there and stew in your resentment because you also work in an office instead of thinking about what the word “conditions” means and whether you are allowed to take off work to be with your newborn child

One union's win is a win for ALL unions. This is why my union was so disheartened when IATSE did not strike. They are a much bigger union than ours. Because they did not strike, our union did not strike and we, being a smaller union, were left with a contract still FAR below living wages.

If the WGA wins, we win. Because maybe next time IATSE will strike and win. Then maybe, just MAYBE, my union: OPEIU (studio clerks and tour guides) will be able to strike. Their win, might become our win.

And if you're in a job without a union - start asking why? Why don't you have a union? Should you have a union? START A UNION. This is what's happening with Starbucks & Medieval Times. They are underpaid, overworked, and in the case of MT, downright UNSAFE. So they're unionizing to improve their lives and the lives of all workers in their positions.
