A stray dog in Bolivia joined a monastery and became a monk. The resident monks of St. Francis Monastery, named for the patron saint of animals, decided to adopt a dog they call ‘Friar Bigotón’ from the Cold Nose Project, which hopes the dog’s story will now inspire more monasteries to take in homeless pets.

That Post Malone article is hands-down, one of the most incredible pieces of writing I have read in ages. I think the journalist channeled the ghost of Oscar Wilde for that takedown. It’s a brilliant dissection of “algorithm culture” and white appropriation in rap, as well, but my word, the writing. It’s amazing. Just. Dear God.
if i see ONE sexual post about the new grinch movie on my dashboard i will unfollow ON SIGHT i lived through the onceler era and i do NOT care to experience it again i have DONE MY TIME i have PAID MY DUES TO THIS HELLISH EARTH
At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.
They gave me a number to shoot for. It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.
So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.
I got what I asked for.
If it hadn’t been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, I’d have never known. I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.
You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.
Because this is crucially important
Except for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job I’ve had I’ve had to sign that I won’t discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action.
