Powerful archival work documenting how capital treats both labor and animals as disposable. The newspaper clippings revealing that mules were kept working because they were 'cheap' really drives home the interconnected oppression theme. Been thinking alot lately about how early labor movements saw animal exploitation and worker exploitation as part of the same system. Bess's story deserves rememberance.
