I enjoy a Starbucks holiday drink, like a lot, but reminded myself not to cross the picket line today and went elsewhere.
Today, striking baristas are taking the picket line to Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol's office.

I’m embarking on a journey to watch key seasons of Survivor I have missed before Survivor 50. I have seen through the first Allstars season. I have sort of made a list from other people’s lists on reddit but also soliciting opinions on must watch seasons and order.
