And this is why Starbucks remains on my boycott list. I might not control much, but I decide where (& where NOT) to spend my $!
Starbucks employees have long fought against consistently unpredictable schedules, short staffing, low pay, and unfair labor practices.
Today, @sbworkersunited.org is striking to demand progress in stalled negotiations.

Sara Easterly cuts through feel-good adoption narratives to expose how Utah’s system sidelines birth parents and leaves adoptees carrying lifelong “what-ifs.” Her op-ed is a clear call for reform and for centering the voices of those left out of the conversation.🥚

Being in community is so important to mental well-being. Understanding you are not the only 1 who has experienced certain things, & having others put words to things you're feeling or have felt, gives you validation & helps you feel less alone. Find your people! Engage!! Ask me how! 🥚 #Adoptee #MSW
