Had a dream last night that I was hanging out with beloveds @readingtheend.bsky.social & @oakleaf.bsky.social, and also R's friend Rob. I was very stressed out about finding a book to explain Orthodoxy in a way that doesn't make it weird & did not succeed

It's that time of year, so if anyone is book shopping for kiddos and wants some specialized recommendations, feel free to ask me! I love children's books and recommending things!

kid very seriously demanded that I help him find the funniest Tom & Jerry movies. when I tried to figure out if this was like a "greatest hits" compilation or a question of individual taste, he looked at me with disgust & repeated the question like I just hadn't understood him😂

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
