Some joy: The day before we canceled Amazon Prime, I had a gift card to spend and decided to get raw celestite, which I’d wanted for over 2 years. “It’ll be a Valentine’s gift to myself,” I thought. Little did I know one of the pieces would be a 🩵! 🤩 #celestite #healingcrystal #iseehearts
A light blue raw crystal geode piece in the rough shape of a heart sparkles in the palm of a hand.

Excerpts from an email from Ryan Brown
President, Carolina Amazonians United for Solidarity and Empowerment today, sharing about Amazon’s “Orwellian” warehouse conditions and union-busting tactics:
Light colored on a dark gray background reads: “I'm the president of the union at the Amazon warehouse just outside Raleigh, NC. Our union election is from February 10 to February 15th just outside Raleigh, NC. If we win, we'll become the first unionized Amazon facility in the south. Coming off the historic holiday strikes around the country and the first Whole Foods union victory since Amazon bought it, we have the momentum. But Jeff Bezos doesn't want to let us win. His new buddy Donald Trump just illegally fired a member of the NLRB, which means the Board won't have a quorum to rule on lawbreaking during this election period. And Amazon is taking advantage of the lack of oversight. They're installing new TVs all over the warehouse, which play anti-union propaganda on a loop. They're blacking out the windows so that you can't look at anything else on your breaks. And they've installed metal detectors in new, odd, places. It's downright Orwellian. We can't do our jobs to get people their packages without being distracted by a barrage of propaganda. Amazon is also trying to use captive audience meetings (the kind that was ruled unlawful in November) to divide us by race. For example, they'll pick out a group of Hispanic workers and tell them that the Black union members just don't want to work as hard, and that's why they want a union. This union busting is disgusting.” Light text on a dark gray background reads: “Amazon is pulling out all the stops because they are scared. They saw us in the streets before Christmas. They saw our comrades at Whole Foods pull off a win this week. Amazon knows that if we can win a union in North Carolina, we can win anywhere. That's why they're going overboard to try to stop us. With your help, and with the support of partners like TakeltBack.Org, we will become the first Amazon union in the South. Thank you, Ryan Brown President, Carolina Amazonians United for Solidarity and Empowerment”
