Seriously. Teen Vogue has some of the best reporting. “In November, a worker’s leg was cut off by the cargo track at the factory. My coworkers and I refused to work until she received compensation. Since December, we’ve had to work 14 hours each day to make up for lost production.”

An orphaned wolf pup named Amora has been paired with a rescue puppy named Slinky. Amora needs socialization to develop properly and Slinky is happy to provide it. Sedgwick County Zoo shared that "Slinky’s playful nature is helping her grow into the wolf she is meant to be." 13/10 for both
