Along w/ @rosecasey.bsky.social & @jessiew.bsky.social, I’m honored that our open letter was the second most read piece @bostonreview.bsky.social in 2023.
We’re grateful for everyone’s support. I hope you’ll support BR. They don’t have a paywall: that’s why why our letter could be so widely read.

The Waffle House is so much more than a chain of diners in the South. It’s an ad hoc social support system and a beloved institution. That labor organizing has come to Waffle House feels like real social change to me. Remarkable.
