MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History February 26, 1616: The Roman Catholic Church formally banned Galileo Galilei from teaching or defending the view that the earth orbits the sun. In 1633, they tried and convicted him of heresy, and imprisoned him for the rest of his life. Bertolt Brecht wrote the play “Galileo” in 1938, which first played in Zurich, in 1943. Brecht fled Nazi Germany in 1933.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/galileo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>galileo</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BertoltBrecht" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BertoltBrecht</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSpeech</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/inquisition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>inquisition</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>censorship</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/drama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>drama</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/playwright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>playwright</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/heresy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>heresy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/catholic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>catholic</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nazi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nazi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History February 10, 1898: Marxist playwright Bertolt Brecht was born. Brecht was a doctor, poet and playwright. He fled the Nazis only to be persecuted in the U.S. by HUAC during the Cold War. He is most well-known for his play, “The Three Penny Opera.” He also wrote “Mother Courage and Her Children” and “The Days of the Commune,” about the Paris Commune. Additionally, he wrote poetry and composed the lyrics to many of the songs performed in his plays, like “Mack the Knife” and “Alabama Song” (AKA Whiskey Bar). <a href="https://youtu.be/6orDcL0zt34" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/6orDcL0zt34</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nazis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/huac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>huac</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anticommunist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anticommunist</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/witchhunt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>witchhunt</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BertoltBrecht" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BertoltBrecht</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/marxist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>marxist</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Poet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Poet</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/playwright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>playwright</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ParisCommune" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ParisCommune</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History January 31, 1912: A General Strike began in Brisbane, Australia. It lasted until March 6. The strike was a response to the suspension of tramway workers for wearing union badges. Within a few days, the strike committee became the de facto government of Brisbane. No work could be done in the city without the committee’s permission. They created their own independent police force and provided ambulance service for the city. They issued strike coupons, redeemable at stores that were in solidarity with the strikers. People wore red ribbons to show their support and even put them on their dogs and dray horses. On the second day of the strike, 25,000 people marched, with another 50,000 supporters watching. On Black Friday, February 2, the cops attacked a women’s march with batons. Emma Miller, a trade unionist and suffragist who was in her 70s and weighed less than 80 pounds, pulled out a hat pin and stabbed the rump of the police commissioner’s horse. The horse reared and threw the commissioner. As a result of his injury, he limped for the rest of his life. The courts ultimately ruled in favor of the unionists, and their right to wear union badges while on the job. Errol O’Neill wrote a play about the strike, “Faces in the Street.”</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Brisbane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Brisbane</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>australia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/generalstrike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>generalstrike</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/policebrutality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>policebrutality</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/eugeneoneal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eugeneoneal</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/solidarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solidarity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/playwright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>playwright</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History January 2, 1921: Karel Čapek’s science fiction play “R.U.R.” premiered. "R.U.R." stands for “Rossum's Universal Robots.” The play introduced the word “robot” to the English language and to the world of science fiction. He derived the word “Robot” from the Czech word for forced labor by Serfs, a derivation he attributed to his brother, Joseph. The play is an archetype for many of the science fiction stories and films that followed, like Bladerunner, West World and Terminator, and others about robots, replicants and hosts that rebel against humans. However, “R.U.R.,” like Čapek’s 1936 novel “War with the Newts,” is also a satirical critique of totalitarianism, which was already on the rise in Europe at the time he wrote the play. </p><p>Čapek was opposed to all forms of totalitarianism, including both communism and fascism. As a young man, he worked as a journalist, in Prague, where he wrote on topics such as nationalism, totalitarianism and consumerism. As a teen, he was expelled from his high school for participating in an unauthorized student club, which he later described as a "very non-murderous anarchist society." In 1938, he had the chance to leave for the UK, but refused to leave Czechoslovakia, where the Nazi Gestapo had named him "public enemy number two." He died later that year from pneumonia.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/karelcapek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>karelcapek</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sciencefiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sciencefiction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/scifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scifi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/robot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>robot</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/serf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>serf</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/slavery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>slavery</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/totalitarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>totalitarianism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/satire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>satire</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/play" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>play</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/playwright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>playwright</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/theater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>theater</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/film" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>film</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bladerunner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bladerunner</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rebellion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rebellion</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>

RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist<p>One thing you learn from watching TV, movies, anime, and reading best sellers, to pulp, to fanfic: No story is perfect. There's always hopeful contrivance and caricature in plot or character, a little or a lot... but it works. We like it. It gets bought, published, produced, noticed, sometimes loved despite the warts. </p><p>Authors and playwrights of all levels... take heart. Complete your project and go on to the next. <em>Complete</em> is the superpower you can have, <em>perfect</em> doesn't exist. </p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoostingIsSharing</span></a></p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/WritersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritersOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Author</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Writer</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Playwright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Playwright</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Screenwriter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Screenwriter</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Writing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fiction</span></a></p>
