Honoring Workers
Art: https://commons.wikimedia.org/. Recently, I started following historian Heather Cox Richardson online and learning obscure facts I'd never covered in history class. For Labor Day, Richardson pointed readers to a government website describing the first Labor Day and the parade in New York. The police would have started the march without music (gasp!) if the ferry from New Jersey hadn't docked in the nick of time and unloaded the Jewelers Union of Newark Two and their band.

I missed this when it happened at the end of July. Thanks to @abqworkers for bringing it to my attention. Now that @ProPublica has successfully negotiated a union contract with the @propublicaguild, I can start supporting ProPublica financially, which I've just done to the tune of $5/month. Good timing, with #LaborDay tomorrow.

Good morning!
Another pleasant Indian Summer day here in NEPA. It's cloudy, but the sun does break through sometimes. In another month, we'll be at our peak for Fall colors.
I'm up and moving, still drinking my coffee. ☕ ☕ ☕
No great plans for this Labor Day weekend. The weather's good, so I hope to be outdoors a lot.
When I was a kid, we'd be driving back to Chicago before school started (after Labor Day). Good memories! 🙂

I'm with John Winger here (Bill Murray in "Stripes"). 🙂 🇺🇸
Support Unions! Billionaires didn't give you the weekend, 8-hour work days, or anything else (including health care).

I found Fordism!
If I had a dollar for every "ism" Ive dealt with... I think i remember doing a report on Ford in elementary school. ANYWAY. Did you know the #waybackmachine has books? I did not. It has a lot of good ones. I found "my life and work" by Henry Ford. I have been glued to it for days. Half way done, I am compelled to share this new source of #books . You can go to archive.org and simply click the books tab. You must make an account. They have it setup where you "borrow books" digitally. I […] -
This #LaborDay, the economy is weighing on union workers.
And their votes could help decide who controls Congress this November.

And now here’s Movement 1: “Dreadful Memories” (After Aunt Molly Jackson) (https://youtu.be/Mq4mofOff8k?is=rRCiQ9fwM8-urfT_) which is part of piece “Four North American Ballads" composed by Polish-American Pianist and composer Frederic Rzewski (April 13, 1938- June 26, 2021). He is considered to be one of the most important contemporary classical composers of his generation. This movement tells the story of Kentucky coal miners.

Following that with a quick blip of the labor anthem “Solidarity Forever” (https://youtu.be/Smm4myFWN-w?is=g34AZImSUwSXkb8P) performed by Elise Bryant, director of the Labor Heritage Foundation and leader of the DC Labor Chorus.
