Debt bondage persisted until the #strikes of the newly formed United Mine Workers and affiliated #unions forced an end to such practices.

  7. It's payday, being the end of the month, and I'm one of those lucky playwrights who tends to get paid some money each and every month.
    But each time I do, I think I should be doing more to promote my plays. The thing is, I HATE promo stuff. I'm bad at it, and I know I don't like it in my feed, particularly. (Though there are exceptions - odd.)
    What do you think? Should I post promo pieces for my plays?
