Boycott Starbucks for workers rights and because it’s shit coffee.
Hint, it wasn’t wage costs that caused them to fail in Australia.

If Starbucks baristas have to strike, we’re striking too — with our wallets.
Don’t shop at Starbucks if baristas are on strike. No contract, no coffee. Period. #NoContractNoCoffee

Make no mistake, the Orange Pedofuehrer was most definitely on the ballots yesterday, and from coast to coast, 340 million people said, "NO MORE!" His fascism will NOT prevail. We WILL protect each other from his atrocities and hate.

I’ve lived with treatment resistant clinical depression since my mid-thirties, (I’m 62 now). Living adventurously has helped me discover my innate desire to live a fulfilling life, even when my illness threatens this.

You know what's exempt from Labor's enviro laws?
AUKUS.
Apparently the US alliance controls even this. The damage cause by a nuclear waste dump can literally be written off if the Environment Minister wants to.

OMG, the Nationals' stance on renewable energy makes them a laughing stock.
That's if you get your laughs from an idiotic cult of climate deniers, fools and grifters.

Spending too much time online will have catastrophic effects on your mental & emotional health. You need to be taking walks and talking to other people. You need to feel grass under your feet and wind on your face. You were made to live an embodied life.

There’s a pervasive narrative in American media and entertainment, driven especially by political pundits, that monotonously proclaims the nation’s supremacy – be it as the “greatest country in the world,” the “world’s envy,” or the holder of the “best economy.”

Henry, Richard I, Geoffrey & John, well, did everything short of actually kill each other.
