Today Guardian and Observer journalists are on strike over plans to sell the Observer to a loss-making digital start up and put its journalism behind a paywall. 🧵 How can you support us? SHARE our posts WRITE to [email protected] JOIN US - there's cake!

Reminder that the Guardian staff are on a 48 hour strike against the sale of Observer. If you wouldn’t cross a picket line in real life, don’t do it virtually.

Not sure if it’s a good idea to join another platform. Wasn’t particularly keen anyway on the (supposed) golden age of twitter. Not sure why I’m here other than (unimpressive) fear of missing out? Why create another reason to look at my phone? Anyone got a compelling reason staying is a good idea?
