This is pretty easy to sign, I would encourage it. If you are a wolf sona, you are required to do this.
Seriously no need to call on the phone either.
Hell even the comments say how pointless this killing would be.
So anyways, save the wolf. Do this now. Takes like 3 minutes. Save your species.

🚨URGENT: Congress prepares to push forward wolf slaughter bill that would remove federal protections for gray wolves across the lower 48 states and prohibit judicial review. Decision will be voted on Dec. 15 and could move to a House vote next week.

Not having lived there for 25-ish years, but my take is that as MAGA-y and racist and whatever else they may be, Indiana Republicans are mostly salt of the Earth corn farmers who don't take kindly to ANYONE telling them what to do.
Feeling kinda proud of them for the first time in a long LONG time.

And while you're at it, how about just removing them entirely from your vocabulary?
It's uncomfortable, and more than a little creepy.
There's only one woman that gets to call me those names, and you're not her.

Nurses: Could you PLEASE stop with the pet names (honey, sweetie, etc) when talking to Black patients when they are frustrated with you or calling you out for just downright fucking up. These pet names are not calming or reassuring. They come off as dismissive and patronizing.

I’ve been fortunate in life to have had several bosses demonstrate this, and even firing customers for being just not worth the hassle.
My dad taught me a lot of valuable lessons growing up and they’ve helped me in life tremendously. But there was one that I disagreed with him on then and still would today, his belief that “the customer is always right.”
Sometimes, you just have to tell the customer to go fuck themselves.

Just logged Neumayer Station III Antarctia tonight, completing contact with all 7 continents via amateur radio.
While attempting contact, I saw another station I've worked many times, an Arctic icebreaker/research ship also working him, pole to pole. 🤣

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

You want your employees to smile more?
Maybe give them their jobs back.
Last time (and I mean THE.LAST.TIME) I was there, there were NO checkout lanes with clerks. Just one poor harried girl, running between 15 open lanes, trying her best to help people with their self-checkout issues.

"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.
