Today in Labor History March 5, 1917: Members of the IWW went on trial in Everett, Washington for the Everett Massacre, which occurred on November 5, 1916. In reality, they were the victims of an assault by a mob of drunken, vigilantes, led by Sheriff McRae. The IWW members had come to support the 5-month long strike by shingle workers. When their boat, the Verona, arrived, the Sheriff asked who their leader was. They replied, “We are all leaders.” Then the vigilantes began firing at their boat. They killed 12 IWW members and 2 of their own, who they accidentally shot in the back. Before the killings, 40 IWW street speakers had been taken by deputies to Beverly Park, where they were brutally beaten and run out of town. In his “USA” trilogy, John Dos Passos mentions Everett as “no place for the working man.” And Jack Kerouac references the Everett Massacre in his novel, “Dharma Bums.”

Anyways, on a more selfish note for today - if you want to do something that I would appreciate for my birthday, the best thing is to read/listen/play through something I made and let me know if you found it interesting or what I could do better or tell other people about it, because I churn out a lot of text and stuff and most of it feels like it drops into the void.

So incoming list of things I did (or at least got released) while being 30:

If you want to support me as a creator, and also for the work I have done here with #fediblock for example... best thing to do is subscribe to my stuff at https://subscriptions.boricua.style/

There is writing, there is art that no one else sees (or at least for a long time), there are dj sets....This is the best way. I want my work to be seen and also I want to buy my groceries.

It's 1 March!! #MarciaMail is available for both Hamaca and Machete Subscribers

"I think we get lost in the pink lipstick of Wicked or the fetish queer aesthetic of Cabaret, and whilst they might be fabulous, that novella gives us a window into the moment our world is sadly reliving."

I'm all for this idea. Who wants to open up a new bar with me?

I love this. It needed to be shared.

Swap out some mindless scrolling for this post, I bet you learn something or, at the very least, find it interesting.

Being wrong—really wrong—is actually a great way to figure out what’s really right. In this post I cover health, socialising, rationality, information and being 'nice'.

Prove me wrong, I love it

Today in Labor History February 17, 1906: The authorities arrested "Big Bill" Haywood and two others on trumped up charges for the murder of former Idaho Governor Frank Stuenenberg. Clarence Darrow successfully defended them, telling jurors, "If at the behest of this mob you should kill Bill Haywood, he is mortal, he will die, but I want to say that a million men will grab up the banner of labor where at the open grave Haywood lays it down . . ." The actual perpetrator was a one-time WFM union member named Harry Orchard, who was also a paid informant for the Cripple Creek Mine Owners' Association.

Haywood and his WFM comrades had been framed by James McParland, an agent for the Pinkertons Detective Agency. This was the same James McParland who framed dozens of Irish coal miners in Pennsylvania in the 1870s, whom he, and the media, had falsely branded as terrorists (Molly Maguires). Ten of them were executed in one day—the 2nd largest mass execution in U.S. history after the 1862 mass execution of 38 Dakota warriors. My novel, Anywhere But Schuylkill, is about one of these Irish miners, a teenager named Mike Doyle.
