not giving your money to a business that’s currently striking is an essential part of a strike.
Amazon normally brings in over 34 BILLION dollars every day. The loss of even one day’s profits could mean massive leverage for the strikers – especially when the boycott coincides with what is usually one of Amazon’s busiest days of the year, their Prime deals day.
Do not visit Amazon.com until they agree to the demands of their striking workers.
That includes anyone trying to buy my stuff today. Seriously guys. Don’t cross picket lines.
Oldest Written Fragment of The Odyssey found in Greece
A clay tablet, found near the ruined Temple of Zeus in the ancient city of Olympia, Greece, could be the oldest written record of The Odyssey. The tablet was uncovered by archaeologists and tentatively dated to the Roman-era 200s CE.
It is engraved with 13 verses from the Odyssey’s fourteenth book,
in which Odysseus speaks to his lifelong friend Eumaeus, the first person he sees on his return from his decade away from home.

“When the cold winter reigned
And the dead came,
So continued The pomegranate dreams,
In lands dappled with shadow and shades. With a destiny that twisted and turned
Like the Mother River,
An Iron Queen made her choice-
Once, twice, six times over,
To stay and to go,
To rule both the living and the dead. So when the Goddess of Spring emerged
To free the land wrought with ice,
To grow again; It would be woven
Through time and tale and thread,
The tale of Persephone and Hades
Hades and Persephone,
King and Queen
She and He
Rulers of the earth and life and death
Of fire and darkness and Paradise,
Until the stars are shaken out of the sky.”— “The Pomegranate Dreams” (Part Two).

Environmental VampiresOk, hear me out. I want a vampire story where the vampires know they’re going to live for centuries and start to get really concerned about climate change. So they all start becoming scientists and start threatening corporations that don’t take it seriously.
What if some of the fans are interested in auditioning for the show?
We’re not at that point yet, but definitely PM my executive producer, Summer Helene, on Twitter if you’re interested.
