A couple big books dominated this month, some work, some pleasure. Comrade Yetta by Arthur Bullard was the big hit, a towering novel of socialism and sweatshops in 1910s NYC.

Companies should be ashamed to be on this list.
The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time."

Often anxiety and depression are seen as a personal failure or a sign of spiritual immaturity. Nichiren teacher Mark Herrick seeks to reframe these afflictions as evidence of interdependence: we are intimately and inevitably affected by the world’s suffering.

The Bodhisattva’s Illness and the World’s Cure
A Nichiren teacher invokes the Vimalakirti Sutra in a reflection on using one’s suffering as a means of liberation.

More fiction related to work. Kikuko Tsumara's There's No Such Thing as an Easy Job explores social interactions at work, turnover, and newcomer socialization in an enjoyable novel that incorporates elements of magical realism.

NW Ohio pride!
The American Numismatic Society’s collections of coins will be relocating from Manhattan to the spacious campus of the Toledo Museum of Art. The $20 million plan, to be completed in 2028, would make possible its long-harbored vision of a state-of-the-art money museum.

Several People Are Typing (2021) by @kasulke.co is a fascinating novel written to mimic Slack interactions. A strong theme is remote work and the challenges of maintaining a workplace culture when most people are WFH.

Acton: I’m running against a guy, Vivek Ramaswamy, who has said that people are struggling in Ohio because they’re lazy, they’re mediocre, they’re not working hard enough. And I can absolutely tell you that is not the Ohioans I know or see. I think he’s completely out of touch.
