The chill that never left your spine

Launched in 1907, Industrial Worker is the official English-language publication of the Industrial Workers of the World, a worker-led union dedicated to direct action, workplace democracy and industrial unionism. Follow the IWW on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

Questions, comments, and other concerns about Industrial Worker should be directed to the IWW’s Industrial Worker Editor at [email protected].

The IW is the place to go stay abreast of what's going on in the One Big Union and its affiliates and to keep up with the radical movement for workers' rights. In addition to current events, the IW also conducts interviews and publishes articles about labor history and what's going on in the IWW.

Like we had said in this article from 2019: "If you’re a member of the working class, then this is your blog. We built this site to be a place where workers can write about what matters to them and share their experience in labor and community organization."

You always hear about "hating looking in the mirror" and "feeling like you are in the wrong body" and these two feelings being constant and front of mind from an extremely young age. Well that wasn't how I felt! Guess I'm not trans!

except i described myself repeatedly to my parents as hollow. the outside of my body was inarguably there, but i kept reaching for words like shell, mask, jar, video game avatar. when i was depressed i tried to explain that i was like a rotten tree, cored out, and everything that made it past the outer ring of myself just fell into the hole. i was not someone who could ever really be happy because there wasn't anything on the other side of my smile. there wasn't a me inside myself. there wasn't any inside.

Wait, dont tell me the people have already forgotten about Suzume, the movie where a guy turns into a chair
