My most hack answer would be The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle particularly the section that takes place in Manchukuo. My second (fairly hack) answer would be War and Peace which I finished reading in high school on the train to Versailles.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.
I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”

I worked at Target for the 2nd shift in the summer after high school and boy was it miserable.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

Twin Cities,
Do you want this working popcorn machine and cart? Passing on at no charge. It’s a fun addition to gatherings. Was always a hit at funeral home community events. Would love it to a new home within the month!

Tashikametan is a turtle who promotes the Labor Standards Bureau. He uses a scope attached to his mask to check employers are being fair. He’s a surprisingly fast runner, but because his shell is heavy, he can’t get up if he falls backwards.
