Rain is not Wet: An Adventure in Internalized Ableism
You have such a pretty face.
I doubt there is a physically disabled woman alive who hasn’t heard some version of that line. It is meant as a compliment. I am meant to thank whoever says it to me. And I have. Over and over. All my life.
Thank you…for looking past my body to find something you can honestly compliment.
Thank you…for taking the time out of your busy day to make me feel “good.”

Shift Happens: The History of Labor in the United States:
"This is such a great and accessible history of labor in the United States, setting the scene by starting with Christopher Columbus and the greed of Isabella and Ferdinand's Spanish rule. The writing style is clever and funny, keeping readers engaged "

of
Shift Happens: The History of Labor in the United States:
"A timely look at the history of labor in the US and all the skeletons in its closet. A great read for whipsmart teens who want more from their non-fiction. Mann's deep dive is impressive and comprehensive and yet somehow, fun and interesting to boot."

“Solidarity: the ultimate working-class superpower”

“The mill owners fought back, and the police broke up the picketing- it was against the law to gather in front of the mills. So the picketers didn't "gather", they walked. Day after day, the 23,000 strikers formed a marching and singing chain around the mills. After this first "moving" picket line, all picket lines began to move- and still do today.”

“Being an ally can be tough. You're not in the shoes of the people you want to help. Often you're wearing shoes that have been standing on the necks of people you want to help.”
