#Introduction

Hello, I'm a resident Wobbly and history nerd with a fondness for books. My posts are mostly politics, but I'll also post other things as well. My anger at capitalism has manifested as sarcasm and the constant urge to pick fights with the fash. I'm looking forward to talking with you all and building solidarity. ✊ 🍞 🌹

Drawing people is hard, man.

Feeling very proud of myself for finally finishing a cartoon that I've been letting sit for two weeks.

Fish is very good, actually.

Spreadsheets are a leftist's best friend, folks. They're crucial for the revolution.

Excuse me, sir, may I have a little more attention?

If someone knows where I can find a dictionary of Finnish dialect, that would be great. I'm dying over here.

Trying to translate the Finnish version of the Little Red Songbook and it's a right pain in the ass. Apparently written Finnish and spoken Finnish are two different things?? And the songbook was written in spoken Finnish? And has dialect?

Complaining online about comrades not giving my books back to me in a timely manner instead of talking to them like a normal person.

I wanna eat something but I also don't want to make the effort to get up and get something to eat, so I'm just sitting here being grumpy and hungry.

Libraries were the greatest invention ever, don't at me.

Stapling large union flyers on the bulletin board next to the meeting room to own the Republicans who will be meeting there in two hours.

Can't wait to hop on a plane and fly across the country just to say hi to some comrades.

April Fool's Day is a good day to start a strike at your workplace, that's all I'm saying.

If you sing all the songs at once, there is so much revolution it spontaneously breaks out and everyone overthrows capitalism.

In a time when capitalists threatened to destroy all the revolution in the United States, radical songwriters hid the revolution in their songs.

I have just recently discovered one of three Finnish language IWW songbooks, Palkkaorjain Lauluja. If anyone happens to know the titles to the other two, I would be eternally grateful.

I and another Fellow Worker are going to attempt the largest compilation of IWW music ever. It's going to be epic.

Found another Wobbly who's just as nerdy about IWW music as I am. I'm very happy.

Of course, the coworkers you're talking to can't hear you either, but that's a minor detail.

The great thing about staff parties that have loud music is that nobody can hear you talking union to your coworkers.
