We are multiple generations now with no experience with strikes, and I see a lot of confused, well meaning people who want to help but don’t know strike etiquette.
1. Never cross a picket line of striking workers.
2. Never purchase or take free goods from a company who’s workers are striking
3. Honk to support strikers if you drive by a picket line.
4. Join strikers on the picket line even if it’s not your strike, but follow their directions and defer to them while there.
5. Say “that’s great, the strike is working, the company should negotiate with their workers” whenever someone complains about profits lost, inconveniences or other worker-phobic rhetoric. Always turn it back on the company, who has all the power and money.
okay, but imagine it’s the beginning of Bitty’s senior year, and the new tiny tadpoles can’t help but be a little intimidated by him, despite how nice he is because he’s the captain, and clearly the Haus is his domain, and half the starting line up calls him Mom unironically, and then there’s the Other Thing.
finally one of them plucks up the courage to ask him and is like “um, Bitty? is it true you’re dating Jack Zimmermann?”
and Bitty just lowers his marc by marc jacobs sunglasses with one finger and says firmly, “Absolutely not.” the poor kid is stammering out an apology when Bitty talks over him, saying, “Jack Zimmermann is dating me.”
