I had a vivid dream last night: @geminicollision.bsky.social hosted a salon in their old apartment near Cinema Village. The salon featured a reading of a new play by Peter Dinklage, with signed copies handed out to the audience, and a performance of Noel Coward songs by John Slattery.

NYC (and nearby)! The rescue I volunteer for just took in a sweet,
middle-aged small pup (15lbs) who was abandoned in Brooklyn. He’s neutered and good natured; his people must have suffered some catastrophe. Can you foster him? If so, @ me and I will get you in touch with the rescuer! Pls RT!

A small grey and white yorkie/poodle mix, who needs grooming and a cuddle. He is middle aged, 15lbs, neutered, and desperately needs a foster. He’s in NYC. Are you nearby & can offer him a safe home?

Always eat first. Don't make a financial or life decision —if possible, on an empty stomach, or in the middle of the night. Do not discuss money with your partner just before you go to sleep, or when you have just woken up.

‼️🚨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.
