in his 2013 lecture, the revolt of the caring classes, #DavidGraeber noted “in fact there has never been a time most workers worked in factories.” given this, he suggested organizing labor around the work of care, which he said is really the work of helping others be free to play or do whatever, to simply exist, as it were, whole and happy

To know @AlaskaWx is to love his total commitment to tracking Alaska weather and keeping Alaskans informed. I absolutely hate the way this admin is hacking up the social and cultural fabric that holds us all together

My own Alaska Senator Dan Sullivan posts fear-mongering press releases about China constantly, but China poses no military threat to the US.
