how many hours did it take? did it hurt? did you ask for any pain medications while doing it or did you suffer through it? what was it like bringing another human life into the world?

is the fact that you had to work in labour instead of being given maternity leave a powerful indictment of our patriarchal capitalist work ethic?

what are the career paths for people in (insert your field of labour)

did you have solid policy structures/direction, or did the management above you pretty much make shit up as they went? i see that a lot. were there any structures in place to hold the people above you that made your job shitty accountable, and how effective do you think they were (obvs not very but I'm curious).

i've never worked directly in labor, i work for one radical supportive organization and volunteer with another and we do stuff with labor groups sometimes. we do trainings, outreaching, logistical support, some funding, that sort of thing.

oh, if I worked for a large org I'd tell you no problem, yeah. but as for my work we're small and local. I volunteer on the board of directors at a PIRG (lmao), got together with a bloc of folks with good politics and we've radicalized the staff and operations to send all that easy funding money to places it'll actually be useful. we're reaching our term limits though so it'll probably revert to pointless center left crap after the next year

what are you interested in? my first instinct would be "probably not here!" because it's an awful academic and political climate, but I'm going to a national pirg conference this weekend and can keep my eyes/ears open
