Happy Strike day!! Today the Newsboy strike of 1899 start in Long Island New York after a group of boys saw a distribution wagon, turned it over, chased the driver down the street and proceeded to tear up all the papers inside the wagon!

Everyone single newsie deserves a big round of applause 👏🏻

[i-didnt-do-1t]

My personal favourite story of Annie Kelly is that when the boys noticed she was at the rally they would not stop incessantly chanting and cheering her name until she went up to do a speech

Annie Kelly was dubbed the brick of all women and most faithful of the strikers because despite the fact she could’ve sold copies of the world and journal (as many other female newsies did because the boys weren’t willing to soak them) she didn’t!

And because the public were generally in support of the strike, she got a shit ton of customers because she wasn’t scabbing and they didn’t want to scab by buying copies of the world and journal!

newsies fun fact of the day #4:

the rally in meddas theatre in the musical actually happened! it was held at irving hall instead of the bowery theatre, but it was in manhattan! several newsies made speeches, but the most notable ones were made by racetrack higgins, kid blink, and annie kelly!

also, that day a "sun" reporter asked Kid Blink about the female scabbers, and he replied "A fella can't soak a lady [...] but we have Annie with us" and I think it's amazing

Newsboy Strike: Day 5 - Saturday, July 22, 1899

World and Journal bribe men to sell papers

Who was striking? Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Long Island City, Mount Vernon, Newark, Fall River, Jersey City NJ, Hoboken NJ, Elizabeth NJ, New Haven Conn

On July 22, businesses started pulling their ads from the New York World and New York Journal because they weren’t selling. This was when the papers realized that the strike had the power to do them serious economic damage. They started to bribe people to sell their papers, offering them $2 per day, plus 40c per hundred papers sold. They recruit 100 men from Bowery lodging houses, but most of them back out after talking it over with the newsboys.

Kid Blink told the Tribune that this bribery only encouraged them to destroy the stock of anybody selling the papers because they knew they weren’t losing money since they were being paid off.

Unable to speak to Hearst on the previous day, a group of strikers waited for him outside his office when he arrived that morning. He invited Kid Blink, Jim Seabook, Jim Gaity and Dave Simmons up to his office to talk. They asked him if he would lower the price of the paper. He asked what the World was going to do, and they told him if he arbitrated they probably would too. He said he would talk it over with his staff and get back to them on Monday if he decided to arbitrate. The strikers took this as an encouraging sign.

Around 1 PM, a few hundred boys demonstrated in front of the World and Journal offices in Park Row holding banners. The police give up trying to disperse the crowd, taking instead to standing in front of the World building to protect it from being damaged.

The boys then marched to the Battery and through Broadway, picking up stones as they went and stoning a distribution wagon when they found one. Two of the ringleaders were arrested. Two other boys were arrested for parading illegally in Park Row, and three others for fighting.

All in all, the strike was gaining ground. Many of the cities and towns around New York joined the strike in solidarity with their New York brethren. The New York Herald described the strike as “one of the most successful labour upheavals in recent years.”

“suck.” she instructs you, holding out her two fingers in front of your lips. you slowly part your lips, glancing down at her with a hazy look in your eyes as she gets on her knees. she inserts her fingers in your mouth as your lips wrap around the digits, slowly sucking on them. “good job, baby.” she praises you with a cocky tone, a small smirk on her face. “now, stop.” you follow her directions with a loud ‘pop’ sound filling up the silence of your bedroom as she slides her fingers out of your mouth, a thin string of spit still connecting on her fingers from your tongue. she brings her fingers down towards your pussy as you spread your legs at the edge of the bed, waiting for her to touch you. “already so wet, hm?” she whispers.

“mm, need you now, please.” you huff out. biting down on your lip, you intensely watch as she slides her fingers down the folds of your pussy, mixing your spit with your slick. “please.” you gasp and tilt your head back as her fingers circle the entrance of your tight hole, prolonging her teasing behaviour. you grow increasingly desperate as she uses your mixture of juices to slowly slide her two fingers into you with ease. “fuck, yes.” you moan out, your eyes fluttering shut with pleasure. to your disappointment, however, she glances back up at you and quickly pulls her fingers out of your cunt.

“eyes on me, okay?” she uses her other hand to squeeze the side of your thigh. “or else i’ll stop. you don’t want that, do you?” she scolds you. you shake your head in response. “use your words.”

“keep going.” you plead with her. she lets out a small mocking laugh before, once again, gliding her fingers inside of your wet and needy pussy. your mouth falls open as she starts slowly pumping the two digits in and out of you, creating a steady pace. “yes, yes, so fucking..” your cut off with a moan as she increases the pace, “so good.” the walls of your pussy clench around her fingers as they hit your sweet spot with every pump. you let out a string of curses, overwhelmed with the feeling of her fingers stuffing you full, “please, more!”

“so greedy, hm?” she coos. “since you’ve been so good, though..” you bite down on your lip when her tongue darts out to lick at your puffy clit while she continues fingering you, bringing you even closer to climaxing. you let out a whine, your hands instinctively gripping her hair for support as she flicks her tongue on your clit.

“faster, faster.” she listens to your demands and you feel yourself falling apart when her fingers hit the spongy walls of your pussy. “mmm’ cumming…”

“yeah? you gonna cum?” her voice is muffled as she goes back to licking at your pussy. “cum for me, baby.”

“fuck!” you feel a more intense sensation and before you can even recognize what’s happening, you’re squirting all over her fingers and tongue, your warm juices gushing out of you. your hips buck in pleasure and she pulls away in slight shock, looking up at you and watching as you try to come back down from your high.

“fuck, that was hot.” she breathes out, “think you can do that again?”

Annie Kelley - I'm so sorry only a few people remember your name. You, Kid Blink, David Simmons, and the hundreds of other kids who paved the way for the protection of minor workers will not be forgotten.

Thank you. I hope you all know we will always fight in your name so that kids will have the rights you gave them.

I hope you can rest in peace. You did your part, and a glorious one at that, and now it's our turn. Rest.

Anyways in honor of the Newsie strike anniversary, reminder that the strike was led by the disabled son of Italian immigrants. Reminder that girls were newsies as well. Reminder that MOST newsies were the children of Irish, Italian, or Russian immigrants. Quite a few were not born in America, and english was not their first language. Reminder that they were mostly catholic and jewish at a time when antisemitism and anti-catholicism was the norm. Reminder that many were disabled and homeless and sold papers in order to support their families. These kids were minorities that fought for their rights! Don’t forget that!

Please. Tell us abt alber

I’m so sorry but this made me giggle a bit, but of course I’ll tell you about alber

In my mind he’s definitely dating Elmer and finch, they both help him so much through all his unhealthy habits due to the way his father treat him

Albert calls Elmer “his squishy” “squishy face” “squishy!” Etc

In order of height (tallest to shortest) Finch, Albert, Elmer

I think Albert has a baby brother and an older brother, but he knows nothing about his older brother

Albert looks for fights as a way to self harm, so people have to warn others that Albert will attempt to do that. He is definitely getting better though

Albert has a crush on blink as well

He actually eventually gets with York, the same guy he took the eye of

newsies fun fact day #7: a bit of a follow up to #6

there were newsgirls alongside the newsboys! there were more boys, so the girls tend to get completely forgotten. during the strike of 1899, many of the newsgirls turned scab because the other newsies werent willing to beat up girls like they did all the other scabs. there were some girls, however, that were very loyal to the strike. such as one newswoman named Annie Kelly.
