Hey Pittsburgh, Chloe got out of my Regent Square apartment over the weekend. Sheβs a 10-year-old microchipped orange tabby. Sheβs not wearing a collar. She is likely somewhere around ECS/Shady Side Academy. Please RT to signal boost!

I had to ask the striker fund to pay my car note this month.
I wonβt lie β it felt demoralizing to ask for help. But I know that this money was given to us by people who want to help our cause, and part of that is making sure our union members can pay our bills.
So much of the solidarity folks have offered us is hard to quantify. But the fact we've now raised $110,000 to support striking
@PittsburghPG
workers is very tangible.
It helps keeps us fed and fighting for each other & the news you deserve.
If you can,
Just decided my ultimate goal in life is to get as many Cajuns I know in Louisiana to seek political asylum in Pittsburgh and then take over Bloomfield from the Italians
my great uncle was the βcrying Indianβ in the Keep America Beautiful PSAs. He was born to Sicilian immigrants in Louisiana, moved to Cali and could only get roles as native Americans in cowboy media. for some reason he pretended to be fully indigenous until he died. Weird dude!
I and other Post-Gazette staffers share our opinions on social media regularly. I have never, not once, been disciplined the way

today I found out that on my new health insurance plan, my monthly premium is $68 a month for medical, dental and vision together for an individual. Yes, you read that correctly. $700 deductible and 90% coverage, too. And yes, this is in the United States!!!!
Found an extremely cute 1 bedroom attic apartment in Sharpsburg thatβs well within my budget and walking distance to basically everything. And theyβre fine with me having 3 cats. Iβm sending the application tomorrow. Wish me luck!!!!!
βTransgenderismβ is an outdated term. But youβre a scab, so Iβm not surprised you didnβt know that.
Iβd recommend following other reporters covering this event tonight.
I love when a Post-Gazette scab writes a story about a workersβ issue like bereavement leave. I wonder if Stan Wischnowski has told the people who have stolen our jobs that the PGβs lawyer initially proposed taking away some bereavement days out of our contract. Probably not!

I donβt think Colin knows that you can care about more than one thing at the same time and I also guarantee that a significant portion of last nightβs commenters actively support local causes to fight homelessness
Iβm not anywhere near the most qualified to speak on homelessness issues because I am only a baby social worker with 70 percent of a masterβs degree. But I wonder if Colin Dunlap et al understand that the only way to end homelessness is to simply give people free housing.

This man spread complete lies about me and my personal life last year because he has a vendetta against our union and many, MANY women in the labor movement have stories of him harassing them. Stay away from him.
Southern labor comrades, donβt work with
@MikeElk
. He hired my friends to βfilm the Volkswagen electionβ and subjected them to verbal abuse, inappropriate sexual comments, drunkenness on the job, and finally, stiffing them on agreed payment. Heβs a liability to the movement.
I once designed a PG front page and the lead art was for a story on neglected city playgrounds.
I was told not to use the best photo, which showed Black kids playing on one of those playgrounds, because βJR won't like it,β and instead had to use a photo of the empty equipment

Men like this are the dumbest motherfuckers youβll ever meet in your life btw (source: I went to LSU and even we hate Ole Miss because theyβre so fucking racist)
Imagine being
@jaxelburgh
and having the absolute gall to represent another industryβs strike this way while youβre actively crossing your unionβs picket line. Some people have no shame.
Post-Gazette scabs who donβt think theyβre scabs because they work in the opinion department must be super proud of this one!!!! It has everything!!! Racist caricatures of the mayor, lamenting that there arenβt enough cops, fervent defense of a morally deprived politicianβ¦
tonight I drove myself home from the airport on 376. it was my first time ever driving on an interstate for an extended period of time please clap for my conquered driving anxiety!!!!! this was the last beast I had to face!!!

lmao @ this PG scab leaning into right-wing scare tactics. oh noooo the scary anarchists are on the picket lines, just like they always have been for as long as unions have been a thing. terrifying!
today my therapist told me I need to celebrate my wins more often when Iβm depressed. I struggle with feeling like Iβm being a narcissist when I do that. BUT - last week I helped a single mom avoid a water shutoff on Easter weekend and today I caught up on all my case notes!
I just opened the app to say something about my shitshow of a day but Iβll leave it at this: Iβve been on strike for 10 months and Iβm fucking tired.
She actually has all of the control in this issue because she holds the power to force the hands of the hotels by emptying hotel rooms during what is a huge planned event. Powerful people standing in solidarity = wins for workers.
oh, Iβve just been informed weβre sending a reporter to London. we live in PITTSBURGH. Iβm so glad this is what my employer likes to throw money at instead of giving us raises.

new apartment is cozy, private, gets the perfect amount of light, and has a sick window ledge for me to put books and plants and have space for the cats to lounge :) also, green tub!! very pumped to make it my own space π
This is a list of every person who, for the past six months, has betrayed and continues to betray those of us on strike for every single day that they continue to work for the Post-Gazette. Scabbing is a betrayal of your fellow workers, full stop. Iβm done mincing words.

These workers can choose to not be strikebreakers at anytime and join the picket line, theyβd be welcome with open arms. Until they make that decision, they are profiting while their colleagues are fighting for a say in their workplace.
Horrifying scenes and aftermath from selfish LOOTERS who donβt care about this city!!!!!

She hates being praised but doesnβt have Twitter so I can say this β my colleague Susan has been working her ass off to get individual PG strikers sponsored financially. Mine got confirmed today and I almost cried. Iβm so thankful and proud to be out here with people like Susan.
Thank you to the incel Post-Gazette scab, who I know is the person constantly stalking me and my friends, private quote tweeting me and harassing me via anonymous messages, for making me feel so cool and important π you seem a little obsessed, bud!
