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

Another inspo. Best Mina, IMHO.
On this day, 33 years ago, Bram Stoker’s Dracula was released in cinemas.
Starring #GaryOldman, #WinonaRyder, #KeanuReeves and #AnthonyHopkins it was an Oscar-winning, critically acclaimed success and one of the most revered #vampire movies ever.

You make my heart remember
the goth teenager I was in late summer
on a midcity graveyard picnic
in unseasonable black
lying on crackling sedge
warmed by parasol-laced sun
the dry scent of hot grass
bright in our noses
the pap and fizz of grasshoppers
our serenade

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Every day that passes since I watched del Toro's Frankenstein, I find a new thing I love about it.
They really captured the spirit of the book, a masterpiece for a masterpiece. I needed some media to feed the fiction machine in my head. This did the trick!
