‼️UPDATE‼️

Today, we filed a petition for the National Labor Review Board to monitor an election by City Bureau workers on certifying our union. While we are in communication with City Bureau’s leadership, they still haven’t recognized our union.

1) limit replies to people you follow, especially if it's a post that you don't want potential unrelated replies to
2) mute, BUT DON'T REPORT
3) block, BUT DON'T REPORT

My friend launched a small business and I snatched up the first pink mini knotty bag (IG soft.inheritance). I brought her outside today. Kinda wanna give her a name lol

Crislin with a short curly black fro is standing in a front yard in a cropped T-shirt, heather gray cropped zip up hoodie that’s open, loose light blue jeans and pink platform crocs and holds a hot pink crochet bag in her hand

Crislin in the same setting and clothes standing closer to the camera and holding the pink crochet bag up with her other hand on her hip. She smirks proudly into the camera.
