When @APSAtweets holds its annual meeting in LA, workers at JW Marriot Los Angeles LA Live may be picketing the venue. UNITE HERE Local 11 is asking the conference to relocate. Sign this petition to push APSA to do just that:

Clarification: that’s not to say coups aren’t a concern in China and there aren’t elite Party constituencies that must be satisfied or whatever. Just that they seem less key to understanding things than broader state-society relations.

Great write-up by @chinalabour about what seems to be an upsurge in strikes and protests by Chinese workers against factory relocations and layoffs. Nice run-down of employees' legal options, in particular.

A question for Twitter: where does one go in Western Canada to re-mount a treasured calligraphy scroll? Also, how does one safely remove what looks like blueberry jam or a smoothie from the scroll’s paper?.
