lydamorehouse ...and am not fond of THAT.
I made the mistake assuming that a small library would have a small staff. When I worked last week, there were only two other people in the whole building (and at times only one other) and I kind of made a foolish mistake assuming that was the new normal. There was a full compliment of staff working yesterday and it was fairly nightmarish. Especially the one librarian who informed me through her open office door that she had special permission to remove her mask in her office.
Yeah, thanks for that. How about close your damn door, at least, then?
I have ALWAYS had a lot of sympathy for my fellow workers, particularly those who have no choice but to go to work, and, yeah holy heck. NO ONE should have to work in the age of COVID. We need universal basicincome, stat.
Right. Moving on.
In other much more pleasant news, I have a discussion about my latest book (Unjust Cause, https://wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/books-by-tate-hallaway/unjust-cause/) with the North Country Gaylaxians today at 7 pm (CST/-6 GMT), via Zoom. It is free! It is international so long as your time zone allows, details on this facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/653999645190057.

If we had an income people could depend on, you could stagger work shifts in jobs that are particularly vulnerable like meat packing factories. I honest do not know a solution and I’d love to see more people actually thinking about what comes after consumer driven capitalism.
