Apologies for not blogging this weekend, my home Internet is acting up, I'm currently working with a library-rental Hotspot to provide connection right now and I don't want to overwhelm it.
That said, time to speak well of this year's motivational pro-union activist out there: A buttered orange tabby (via Twilight Greenaway at Insider).
The story of Jorts and Jean started last December when two co-workers disagreed about the cats who lived at their worksite; one of them chronicled the conflict on Reddit in a humorous way that went viral and spawned hundreds of memes. Fast forward five months, and Jorts—who is large, orange, and prone to “trash can mishaps”—and Jean—a smaller, supposedly smarter, tortoiseshell cat—have become internet famous.
But Jorts and Jean aren’t merely mugging for the camera like the internet cats of yore—they’re putting their sudden stardom to use. In recent months, the cats have been sharing maps of the rapidly growing network of Starbucks unions, educating readers about unfair labor practices and the original meaning of May Day, publishing zines, and donating the proceeds to worker funds...
So on this Labor Day, think to yourself WHAT WOULD JORTS DO?
You can’t get what you need unless you ask for (or demand) that thing. This is an idea that applies to so many situations but let’s use an example of American workers rights and the NLRB. This is a thread fyi pic.twitter.com/veGBg3hRcD

JORTS WOULD FIGHT FOR WORKERS RIGHTS TO UNIONIZE, PROTECT THEIR WAGES, AND AVOID ANY FUTURE TRASHCAN MISHAPS!!!
Seriously. I still can't believe they buttered Jorts.
