Friday Links

1. Happy May Day, comrades! Today’s fact: there are maybe 1,000 billionaires in the US; there are 174 million workers. A poster with two sections. The top section has a large fish pursuing many small scattered fish. The bottom section has the small fish formed into the shape of a larger fish and it is chasing the larger fish from the toip section. Text says, DO NOT PANIC. ORGANIZE.

 

2. Something to listen to as you participate in the GENERAL STRIKE today: A YouTube DJ spinning “Soviet & Socialistic Grooves from 60s-70s.”  The whole channel rocks, I’ve been listening to sets all week. (That same DJ has a set with 78s!)

 

3. Check out the Busy Beaver Button Museum, whose mission “is to share as much American history as possible through pin-back buttons.” It’s really easy to get sucked in to all the different categories and I love the format of just, “Look at all these buttons!”
