Professional labor photographer. Unions for all. Birds. Whales. Cats. Hydration. Maybe a dash of democratic socialism. Not necessarily in that order. Too much optimism for the current moment. Cute content skeeted often, not with the news cycle

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

Okay, check THIS shit out.
A crude pencil drawing on lined paper. It's a logo featuring an old-timey adjustable wrench crossed over a sledgehammer with a laurel wreath around it and a sarma (stuffed cabbage leaf) between the handles. Beneath is the acronym YALBA (Yugoslavian-American Laborers' Benevolent Association) and the motto Smrt flasizmu, Sloboda rinfuzi.

This rule so much. I'm sending this our executive board later today. As you can imagine, today is a busy moment for our internet organization but I guess, since we delete the twitter, we don't actually have an account anymore

Shit, now I gotta come up with a Yugoslavian-American Laborers' Benevolent Association. Probably crossed hammer and wrench with a pierogi overlaid on them with the Yugoslavian flag behind all that and YALBA underneath. Need to come up with a snappy motto, though.

One of my favorite Italian Americans Tony Buba put the line in a film "imagine if you get to the gates of heaven and instead of Saint Peter it's Sacco and Vanzetti." I'm agnostic but I consider this the closest I have to a religious text.

Sigh. Guess it's that one day a year we have to utter that assholes name.
For Immediate Release Italian-American Trade Unionists of America Condemn Columbus on Columbus Day The ltalian-American Trade Unionists of America (IATUOA) has once again reaffirmed its condemnation of Christopher Columbus on Columbus Day. "We only mention the son of a bitch's name once a year and it's when we announce that he's a son of a bitch on his name day," the IATUOA Executive Committee announced from a dark, smoke-filled room in the Italian-American Club of Shamokin, PA. The IATUOA, founded on the principles of cultural solidarity through bargaining, mutual aid, shared dining experiences, and anti-imperialism, believes Columbus represents the antithesis of these core values. Based on his writing and contemporary accounts, Columbus was a greedy, self-indulgent strunz, a jerk-off that gleefully engaged in the enslavement and genocide of indigenous people for personal gain and fame. Further, this fucking guy, supposedly Genoese, rarely spoke or wrote in Ligurian or any Italic language. What kind of "Italian" does that? Italian-Americans deserve recognition and a holiday in the United States, but also deserve a figure worthy of their name. "If you're gonna name the fuckin' day Columbus Day, you might as well go-all in and make the fucking holiday Columbus/Mussolini Day to piss on a few more graves,"' the IATOUA Executive Committee further scoffed As of this time,the IATUOA DaVinci Genealogy Caucus still questions the authenticity of Columbus' Italian ancestry. Based on this, and the organization's position that Columbus is "a piece of shit" the organization maintains its position that Italian-Americans (as well as indigenous people) deserve a holiday that truly recognizes our heritage and not one that celebrates a jackass.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

Hard to pick my top 4 shots from October, after 3 years of trying I finally got some incredible hummingbird combat shots, but the comet was truly once in a many lifetimes, so they gotta get 2 of the 4, and the hummingbirds just didn't make the cut.

Top 4 of them in next post.

Probably gonna be too busy this week to do much nature posting so here's a baby dolphin 🦑
Three dolphins swimming, one is clearly younger. You can see the front of a 4th but it's kinda hard. The foreground and background have been blurred to let the baby pop out more , if that makes any sense
