“ So many of these 70 million or so workers, and even other workers outside of this industry, are awake, bored, and restless from 11pm to 2am. But because of the 9-5 capitalist schedule, it is stigmatized to even text someone at this hour, despite the fact that so many of us are awake.
Let’s normalize gathering, meeting, plotting, and scheming in the shadows! **The revolution will not revolve around the 9-5; so our organizing spaces shouldn’t either”
I would be down for that!
