‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

As we train our sights on what we oppose, let’s recall the costs of surrender. When we use generative AI, we consent to the appropriation of our intellectual property by data scrapers. We stuff the pockets of oligarchs with even more money. We abet the acceleration of a social media gyre that everyone admits is making life worse. We accept the further degradation of an already degraded educational system. We agree that we would rather deplete our natural resources than make our own art or think our own thoughts. We dig ourselves deeper into crises that have been made worse by technology, from the erosion of electoral democracy to the intensification of climate change. We condone platforms that not only urge children to commit suicide, they instruct them on how to tie the noose. We hand over our autonomy, at the very moment of emerging American fascism.

GFM update ❤️‍🩹
My tooth almost took my life,I got it pulled + am getting my implant consult soon.

Since then I have been sick with a chronic respiratory issue, & it's cost me tabling RCCC.
I hate to do it, but I am asking for a bit more help. Share if you can 🫶
www.gofundme.com/f/help-lonni...

Cartoon of me sitting on my own hand, with a censored photo of my rancid tooth cackling.
"That guy almost killed me! " I say, and the tooth says "I almost killed you! Nyehehe!"

Comic of me trembling , saying "oh, well I'm glad I got that tooth pulled, now to r-" and I am hit with multiple bouts of sickness.
"In time for Rose City Comic Con". I am hit with a sickness anvil.

I am pancaked on the ground, and I peel my face up, saying "I think I need to rest."
