Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

I’ve been a bit busy with creating a journaling practice, participating in #NovelNovember, and taking care of my girlfriend who recently had knee surgery. My #blog has been a bit neglected, but I’ll get back to it very soon!
