comrade rose tyler..... travelling space and time with her IWW card checking in with workers of all types asking what are your pronouns, how are you being treated, have you ever considered organizing your workplace? she hands out copies of kropotkin and marx everywhere she goes before she realizes they're too earth-centric so she puts together an interplanetary team and they rewrite the bread book to have more universal relevance. she goes down as one of the greatest union organizers and leftist theorists in history but because her direct influence spans tens of thousands of years, she's heavily mythologized as well. she becomes an icon. in heavily policed workplaces, asking someone if they know rose tyler is asking if they're union-friendly. union leaders begin to use flowers as secret codenames to protect their identities and families from retaliatory action. rose tyler physically does not exist in this universe anymore but her legacy is bigger than she'll ever know
