Around 2019, I had become politically apathetic and nihilistic. After reading some feel-good article about a successful charity drive on a mainstream news website, I dug deeper into the phenomenon of the orphan crushing machine. I found this piece on why crowdfunding sucks. It even critiqued the industry I used to work in. Jacobin was the first media outlet that was current and took positions I agreed with. Unfortunately, the site has locked out old articles to subscribers (I'm lapsed), but I'd suggest looking up archived versions on archive.org.
The Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC) is a good resource if you’re feeling dissatisfied at your job. (I suggest their freebies, like the tri-fold brochure.) Their material is easy to read and understand. Though they’re American, their information about organizing and labour unions are useful for any workplace.

It's a satirical web page about modern websites, but it tapped into a frustration I didn't know I had for many years.

I wish this was also satire, but it's not. In Canada, cashiers don't have a right to sit while working. This is added cruelty beyond poverty wages, unstable shifts, and low benefits, which are standard in these jobs, in this supposedly civilized country.
Have you ever fully read through a Terms of Service agreement? Much like the legalese in labour laws, they're not designed for regular people. The site is a database of summaries, of what companies and businesses hide in their ToS agreements.

To a non-coder, this dark theme for the Jacobin website makes me look way more competent at CSS than I actually am. To anyone with a modicum of CSS knowledge, it will expose me as a total amateur. I made the theme because Firefox's Dark Reader extension didn't look great on Jacobin, and I need Dark Mode to limit the impact of eye floaters while reading. I also wrote a similar theme for Canadian Dimension.
(I used to post my work on SoundCloud.) Yeah, okay! I write and produce music like everyone else seems to do nowadays. I accepted long ago that I'll never have access to professional-grade equipment, let alone instruments or microphones, or even modern software. But the most likely reason for my lack of success is that I'm just not the musical nor technical genius I wish I was. Still, creating is like instinct to me. I just have to keep doing it.
