Well this 2,600-year-old clay letter was a journey.
It comes from the archive of a goldsmith named Nabû-zeru-iddin in the heart of ancient Assyria. We’ve got someone left on read, a lawsuit, a mean step-mom, and people who get drunk and steal silver.

Poor tigers. Every time we talk about stress and anxiety we say “they’re definitely things we want to have happen when we’re running from tigers”. It’s never lions or bears or moose. Always tigers. My work stress definitely feels like a herd of angry bison heading toward me.

Love this book
So there I was, running the random book picker, and I dismissed one 'cause I just bought the set, and another 'cause it was book 2 in a series, and then SMALL GODS by Terry Pratchett popped up, so here are 10 US Kindle copies of it!

The witch made him hot chocolate.
"They say I'm strong," he said. "And I am."
He took a sip.
"They say I can overcome any hardship."
"Mm," said the witch.
"And I can. I do."
The witch said nothing.
"But I shouldn't have to!"
"No."
The witch held the hero as he wept.
"No, you shouldn't."

Can't tell you how many times Waldenbooks would tell us about these expectations... they're unenforceable unless your want your store managers to be micro-managers, and be everywhere at once.
Oh, and considering... I wouldn't use Waldenbooks as a good model, y'know?

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

Nationalize the damn airlines and give us our legroom back
So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Rockstar Games was pretty revolting to begin with from what I hear but I’m happy to hear the staff are revolting over the revolting behavior of the company
For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

I don’t drink coffee, but if you do, don’t cross the picket lines.
Union baristas are calling on allies to STOP BUYING STARBUCKS if we go on ULP strike. If our communities stand with us in action, we can take back power from the billionaires & CEOs.

Why exactly does your passport need gender on it anyway?
Are we intending to infringe the right to free travel for one of the ‘sexes’?
It has a photo, it doesn’t list hair color, religion, or shoe size, because that serves no purpose.
