Welcome to #FTWeekendFestival! Shout-out to @FTUSGuild members on today’s program, including @lilahrap, @mfilippino, @rbrtrmstrng & @sonjahutson. They want a #faircontractnow, just like all our unit's 60+ US workers. Sadly, @FT defines “fair” as “heads I win, tails you lose”.
And we are LIVE in Washington DC for the US Edition of #ftweekendfestival! If you're there in person, or online, welcome – and stayed tuned for some highlights. If you'd like to register to watch on demand, you still can usftweekendfestival.live.ft.…

Interrupting my Twitter non-presence to say I support the @FTUSGuild and its bargaining efforts today. I’m proud to support our union’s proposal to raise wages and reduce salary disparities in our newsroom. Great thread about it here teapaw.org/FTUSGuild/status/17149…
Today is a big day for FT US Guild — our bargaining committee is presenting our wage proposal

A difficult conversation with Russian writer Maria Stepanova this week. As she says Russian writers aren't who we should worry about now, but the interview is insightful anyway. @ftweekendpodcast @ftweekend @ft ft.com/content/2cacef22-c11b…

So thankful to Natalia for coming on our show!!
Awkward to promote as I am being interviewed here but @lilahrap and her team have put together an absolutely brilliant show: sensitive, nuanced, incredibly smart. Great interviewing and packaging and must listen if you wanted to understand narratives around #UkraineRussiaWar

Won't lie, I'm pretty proud of the little vignette @lilahrap and I recorded with @dhmeyer for this episode. And the rest of the show is great too! play.acast.com/s/ft-everythi…

I missed this very good video and I am not ashamed of posting it months late. teapaw.org/vinn_ayy/status/133617…
The Galactic Federation interviews Earth for membership
Preview: on this week's @fivefourpod @_FleerUltra and wonders whether we're living in a simulation designed to personally make him snap, because real life couldn't possibly be this messed up; @AywaRhiannon and @The_Law_Boy weigh in.

Look, the internet's chipping in to pay my rent, and you should too.
