3. Something soft
🎼And when the snow was falling down
He’d catch a California bound
With a little dog to keep him warm
Old #QueenOfTheRails
I loved this song as a kid long before I knew #empathy was a thing. I still carry it with me ♥️

#Taylorism, or #ScientificManagement, comes from the work of #Progressive-era efficiency-expert #FrederickTaylor, born #ThisDayInHistory in 1856. His work caused new heights in #AlienatedLabour. Here is a #JobAction joke on it by #UtahPhillips that I love:

I’m not usually a fan of “of all time” characterization.
But this is one of the greatest anti-war albums of all time (yes, including the future).

Eddie Balchowski d. OTD 1989
The moving story of the one-armed pianist &🇪🇸 Civil War veteran, immortalised by the stories of #UtahPhillips & woven w/ the magic of #AniDiFranco🎵
🎼I wrote him his death song
About a week later I got a call from Eddie…

One of the most dark & beautiful things about this 🎼is that #UtahPhillips sang it just once, to a friend. He never recorded or sang it since
It’s become his best known song
🎼Too empty to sing, too lonesome to cry

I could make the world so much better if I just bought a "Utah Phillips" CD for every teenager...
We all need appropriate role models! ❤️

You're about to be told one more time that you are America's most valuable natural resource. Have you SEEN WHAT THEY DO to valuable natural resources? They're going to stip mine your soul, clear cut your best thoughts for the sake of profit! Unless you learn to resist. - #UtahPhillips
The cover of the 1983 album by folk singer Utah Phillips titled We Have Fed You All a Thousand Years, next to a working record player
Happy Labo(u)r Day!
There’s nothing I can add here that’s better than Phillips’ banter between songs, or the lyrics taken from the Little Red Songbook. A history lesson and an inspirational sermon.
We Have Fed You All a Thousand Years, #UtahPhillips (1983)

A picture of folk singer/labor organizer/anarchist Utah Phillips with a quote that reads: "At some point, if you're a critical thinker, you'll get it in your head that the world's goin' to hell in a wheelbarrow. And you're gonna wanna change things. Now, at first, you'll run into two kinds of people, in your quest for justice. The first is an easy character to spot: THE CONSERVATIVE. Now, he's gonna be the one that holds back progress and fights the unions, and sides with the bosses, and will rat you out every chance he gets. The second person is: THE LIBERAL. Now, he's gonna join the union with you and he'll even fight by your side. But when it comes time to seize the means of production and take over factory, mill, or mine, he'll turn on you. When it comes time to dump the bosses off our backs, he'll jump right in there with the bosses and dump you instead. One guy is the clear enemy, the snake in the garden. The other guy is the wolf in the henhouse and he's dressed like a sheep. When you get sick of both of them, you'll know you've turned radical." Bruce "UTAH" Phillips, labor organizer, folk singer, anarchist

Penny, synthetic pancake deer, has a lot of pre-programmed abilities and information stored in her brain that only come out instinctively. One day, she picked up a banjo, strummed twice, and "Solidarity Forever" came out of her.
