Morning.

Buryat women curtsied and said a prayer to the first swan they saw in Spring. Something we should all be doing. 🦢

Pizza Hut has previously appeared on the list of rogue employers.

Failed to pay the statutory minimum wage to 10,980 workers.

Just imagine execs sitting in plush offices, living in leafy suburbs, wearing fashionable clothes, driving smart cars, and plotting how to impoverish workers

I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh

I don’t think his psycho sycophants are friends as normal people think of them. So it really is a sad little tweet, as already said. Let’s face it, it’s financially/power hungry, gluttonous swine all trying to get their snouts in the trough even if it means buddying up to Piggy Melon Felon.

'...Will the hive survive, will the gladiolas
Succeed in banking their fires
To enter another year?
What will they taste of, the Christmas roses?
The bees are flying. They taste the spring.'

It would be so great if you could RT my Etsy shop in the twoots below/above. My🌲 jewellery orders usually make up a significant part of my income at this time of yr but the X exodus has meant I’ve only received 1 order-pretty scary income-wise. A small boost would help so much. Thankyou🌿
