One of the most absurd things about capitalism is how it effectively puts "we could've automated the process of creating this with no detectable loss of quality, but we made workers do it instead!" on products as like a sign of quality, and people eat it up

unprecedented levels of corporate authoritarianism call for unprecedented levels of resistance to them

Some of the libraries in Finland🇫🇮 have workshops equipped with soldering stations, laser cutters, woodworking tools, 3D printers and sewing machines. The staff is extremely lovely and helpful 😁

Feel free to add to it!

Makerspaces in crisis zones are already helping people around the world: Puerto Rico, Haiti, Nepal.

Did you know that you might have access to Lynda.com through your local #library?!

https://www.lynda.com/portal/sip

That's access to free courses and all kinds of stuff from #Programing to #DevOps, #3DPRinting to #eBook #Publishing! Blogging, advertising, and all sorts of content!

We're using this to train new employees where I work and I can vouch for the quality of most of the content. Check with your local library and learn something 😃

anyway if you are ever traveling and need to book a hotel, make sure you look on fairhotel.org first so you don't accidentally book a hotel where the workers are on strike or where the workers don't have a union at all. and remember, never cross a picket line!
