My MN people know this is just Minnesota passive-aggressiveness from the CEO of Target.
"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.

Let people be happy. It literally costs nothing.
I remember reading a quip that Puritanism is the terrible fear that someone, somewhere, is feeling happy.

I'd say it's 2025 and we should be well past this, but since we're not: titles like "aunt" and "uncle" are used a lot in BIPOC communities, regardless of whether or not there's actual blood ties. Been calling a ton of women unrelated to me "auntie" since age 3, and got dinged by Mom when I didn't.
In a bit of a tense moment, one of the La Mega co-hosts presses Mamdani on why he "lied" about his "aunt" having been scared to ride the subway after 9/11 while wearing a hijab.
Mamdani says it was "not a lie" because he refers to his father's cousin as his "aunt."

Just horrible to see this system headed that way. Sending all the positivity to them and hoping people can find shelter.
What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.
