#MayDay2014 picks: @nathanairplane's What's Left of Mayday + a gem of an #adjunct blog

…that would be this al-Jazeera piece by Nathan Schneider, whose page, books and articles make the bookmark gem list along with a newly discovered adjunct blog, Dale Carrico's amor mundi, discovered courtesy of Jessica Lawless and the Adjunct Action Bay Area SEIU 1021 Facebook page. I didn't see Dale's MayDay post in time to include in #mobilize4equity's #MayDay2104 news/links from around the world post. I should blog about it separately if only for the irony underscored by a gorgeous Diego Rivera mural
