I wanted to open up a space for folks to share and discuss the things that they’re reading—whether that’s books, articles, short stories, magazines, or whatever!
This book lays out a detailed history of the 1919 Seattle General Strike, an event where the workers of the city took on management of essential services themselves in what they saw as the next step towards worker control of production.
I’ve typed up some of my notes, selected quotations, and annotations in the book’s entry on the Angry Education Workers library.
Love the recommendation. There's so much about workers' movements that we have to educate ourselves on because it's structurally avoided. I assume with good reason because once you understand workers' movements, you understand how regular people have changed the course of history.
It's taken a while, but I'm close to finishing The Jakarta Method, and wow. I would say if I were to recommend 2 books to people to get them on the same page as me, it would be first The Jakarta Method and second something like Solidarity Economics or From What Is to What If.
If I'm ambitious enough and have enough time, I might write a blog post on each set of 2-3 chapters from the book because I think the information is so important. Basically it details the horrible cost of imposing U.S.-centered capitalism on the 2nd and third world during the Cold War. It talks about the many dictatorships and regimes of disappearance, concentration camps, and mass killings across the world which stamped out communist and also socialist and union movements attempting to better their countries and communities.
What if Cheers met The Witcher... in a cursed tavern?
✨ Murder & Mead is a fantasy mystery serial with enchanted brews, poisoned nobles, bard battles, and secrets whispered through magical walls. Each episode builds tension, mystery, and character-driven lore—and it drops weekly like clockwork.
If you're reviewing serialized fiction or spotlighting unique stories, this one deserves a pour. 🍯🔪
Oh, I need to read that, being from Seattle and all
