PRO Act

(This blog features American politics.)

Tomorrow there will be events held to support the passage of the PRO act, a bill which would be the most significant expansion of workers' rights there has been in decades.

These events are especially relevant in the states of Arizona and Virginia, if you are near an event and available I highly recommend that you attend. Their senators are democrats who have not yet supported the bill, but may be persuaded to with your help.

Normally I would frown upon legislative means of expanding workers' rights (as opposed to physical or revolutionary), but advocating for worker's rights is praxis. (Also, bougies are pushing back against it so pissing them off is a side benefit)

See if there is an event near you

Read this reddit post

The PRO act does things such as:

Expands the legal definitions of Employee, Employer, and Supervisor to include more individuals under Fair Labor Standards
Prohibits discrimination against workers who participate in strikes
Prevents employers from forcing employees into attending anti-union meetings
Makes employers not allowed to enter agreements where the employee surrenders the right to pursue/join lawsuits against the employer
Implements various whistleblower protections
Establishes penalties for entities which fail to comply with National Labor Relations Board orders

summary: food, water, sleep, shower and walk. you'll feel better. sometimes your negative mood isn't because of completely physical reasons. critics' opinions are not everyone's opinion of you. and sometimes teenage years come with hormonal imbalances that make you feel like shit for no reason, so if you're doing everything you can and still feel bad then don't worry about it. if it persists go to a doctor or something and ask for antidepressants.
oh yeah, also its winter in the northern hemisphere. that can cause depression.

Ok, that's about all I can think of. Feel free to give more advice or comment on existing advice.
