Nearly 10 years ago I did organizer training with a few Blizzard workers and now they've extracted a stellar contract from one of the most powerful companies in human history. I dream of the future struggles our amazing members will wage with their newfound power and rights.

A crew of six women, including pop star Katy Perry and Jeff Bezos's fiancé Lauren Sanchez, is set to blast off today on an 11-minute Blue Origin flight. It marks the first all-female space mission in 60 years — hailed as a breakthrough for gender equality in space tourism.
