HOPE FOR CYNICS audiobook by Jamil Zaki; read by the author
I really appreciated a few of the anecdotes in this, especially the one about Katie Fahey, whose story is a good blueprint for concrete ways we can affect positive change going forward. Also appreciated the CBT tips.

A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Starbucks consistently has the worst coffee everywhere I go; consider this your sign to find a cool new local joint.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
