Some years ago, I had a manager reach out to me outside of work to tell me I needed to push back on my promotion raise amount because my (male) counterpart was getting more. I was grateful and where I've been able to, I try to do the same for others.

It was 80 degrees yesterday but when I went to bed, we were under a tornado warning.

I don't know why Far Side is trending but this is my favourite one that made me cry-laugh as a child and I still quote it when I see dogs.
