Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. In 2025, he made 1,794x more. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers? I will continue my boycott of Starbucks.

My friend's little child died unexpectedly today, a child I have known since she was born. I feel like the whole day is in crystalline clarity - every word and action I've taken today made sharp as glass. I have held that baby, read to her, dangled her, chased her around her home. It is impossible.
