Hey fellow #writers and #historians, who else writes their way into a topic? e.g. I just spent two days writing on things that i now know will in all likelihood not be in the final draft, but I had to write just to try and develop my thoughts

Derrick, a mascot for organ donation in Oklahoma. I'm not even sure what to say about this. "Creatively merging our organization with the symbol of an oil derrick symbolically allows us to see that both can give and sustain life in different ways."

Not new indeed. While "company unions" were outlawed under the NLRA, modern corps have learned to use rhetorical tactics like this to demonstrate how responsive they are to employees. "We're a family!" It's all a ruse. Organize!
Apparently a Costco store unionized and Costco wrote a letter like "we're not anti-union and we're not disappointed in our employees, we're disappointed in ourselves because our employees felt they needed one!"
Y'all, this is not a new tactic. Walmart says the same shit. Don't fall for it.
