Hi, everyone, Lilit here. I’m back from two weeks in Argentina and Uruguay, and I was amazed to come back and see how well Ashley and Co handled the porn epidemic on the site. While I was away, in addition to STA getting all porninated, my sister twisted her ankle, one of my friends broke his leg skiing, and another friend’s dad passed away. Clearly, this means I should never leave the country again.
One really cool thing about Argentina is that since they recently (within the past few decades) overthrew a military junta, they have a lot of respect for the common working class guy or gal. I respect that a lot. There’s even a statue in a main plaza dedicated to the working class. (When the photos get developed, I will post here).
Although the US does not have a lot of public monuments dedicated to the working class hero, there are many worker-themed sites, if you know where to look. In New York City, about fifteen minutes away from where I live, is a really popular area called Union Square (above is a photo of the very awesome farmer’s market held there on weekends). The name is no coincidence: years ago, it was the site of the very first ever Labor Day celebration in America. When that holiday rolls around I’m sure we’ll have more to post on the topic, but if you have labor/worker/peon-related stuff in your own hometown, please write in and let us know about it.
