You know how you worry over the words of a tough conversation, in the aftermath? Who said what, and how, and why; did they mean it? Note the epigraph from Edmund's soliloquy in Lear where he mulls over the meaning of being a bastard. #poetry #sonnets #shakespeare #constellation

@bookgaga @daniel_hudon Thank you for reading; this is a book whose moral urgency will remain timely for the foreseeable future, we are afraid. Copies can be purchased direct from the publisher the Pen & Anvil website catalogue.

🧵@SecMartyWalsh we submitted a complaint to @USDOL thirty days ago @amazon has never filed LM10s as required under the LMRDA. Subsequently, OLMS has confirmed @amazon has never filed LM10s. Despite, that anti-union consultants who work for Amazon have file LM20s (see attached).
