Don't cross a picket line.
BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract
Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

It's all fun and games until someone unleashes a giant demonic hare.

A friend helps run a large food bank serving our state. Asked her how things look. For every 1 meal provided by a food bank, SNAP provides 9. They’re looking at a tenfold increase in need within days. There hasn’t been a threat of mass hunger in America like this in living memory. Help if you can 🍽️

No, ABA therapy is NOT the gold standard for supporting autistic children: “Those studies that report children making long-term gains in functioning are of middling scientific quality, casting doubt on the therapy’s status as an authoritative treatment.”

you know that "oh, I should have said this" thoughts you get about conversations hours, months, years afterwards?
Yeah, I get that about public speaking. Probably because I wing everything, cause half the time it works out fine.

This is not about fighting antisemitism. This is all about silencing opposing views. Today it’s pro-Palestine, tomorrow it’s pro-Ukraine, and then it’s just deporting whomever they don’t like. And then everyone is silent.

-not all jews support israel
-criticizing israel is not the same as being antisemitic
-being pro-palestine does not equal being pro-hamas
-arresting someone for being pro-palestine is a violation of the first amendment
-violating someone’s first amendment rights is bad

I have a hard time believing that a guy who cleanly got away with a high profile murder would be detained days later carrying not only the murder weapon and silencer, but a manifesto about insurance companies. For an otherwise well executed plan, that seems a little sloppy.

"You're not like my 8 year old autistic son!"
Many things are out of kids control - uncomfy clothes, loud noises, food, confusing rules.
As an adult, I make my own choices. I wear, eat and do what I like, if I don't, I get overloaded.
That's why I don't remind you of your 8 year old autistic son.
