Where my fandom lives

Given the news today, this is really appropriate.

It would be just as effective as a full on strike, without risking their jobs in anti union states. Especially if they made public newspaper announcements that this is what they will ALL be doing.

This is called “Work-To-Rule” (a form of malicious compliance), and is a very useful and effective tool in labor organization!

My dad did this! He’s a high school teacher, and he and all his colleagues refused to write college recommendation letters - which was dozens of hours of unpaid labor not in their contract - until they got a renegotiated contract, and it worked in like less than a week cause parents went apeshit. The education system would fucking collapse without unpaid teacher labor, and that’s a huge source of leverage

My school did a work-to-rule strike on year. We had no extra-curriculars, no sports, no student council, etc during the strike… just classes and then go home… I didn’t really understand it all at the time, but like, looking back, it’s kind of unreal how much teachers do on their own time, that is not actually part of their job.

One day you think: I want to die. And then you think, very quietly, actually I want a coffee. I want a nap. A sandwich. A book. And I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friends, I want to sit in the sun. I want a cleaner room, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else, I want to live.

That last fucking sentence.

there is no such thing as being "behind in life" but it's okay to recognise that you missed out on some things whilst you were busy surviving
