Today is Give Ozarks Day and if you can donate even $5 to the Ozarks Literacy Council, it will help. It has one full time employee and one part timer. Last year, they paired 71 learners and tutors. With your help, they can do even more. Today, May 3 only. Thank you so much.

“The rivalries at Amazon extend beyond behind-the-back comments. Employees say that the Bezos ideal, a meritocracy in which people and ideas compete and the best win, where co-workers challenge one another “even when doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting,” as the leadership principles note, has turned into a world of frequent combat.”

It’s almost like “a meritocracy in which people and ideas compete and the best win” is necessarily a post-apocalyptic nightmare world of frequent combat between unbearable people with no other obligations.

It’s easy to be against the aristocracy because it’s clear you aren’t a member. It’s hard to be against the meritocracy because it’s constantly telling you you just might be, having been the single most important person in your whole life to date and all.

But really you and I are no more likely to be Jeff Bezos than we are the Habsburgs, so give the slow guy in front of you at Chipotle a minute before you use your technocrat ESP to crush his head inside the tortilla press

This is why detective work was easier back in the day.

Joseph Arthur - Travel As Equals

In the dark of grave yard chatter In the light of freedoms call In the heat of any matter We travel as equals or not at all Bloom disgust and class divide I saw it written on the wall The only way we can survive We travel as equals or not at all You can’t be in greater comfort As my pain prevents your fall The truth will come and tell us brother We travel as equals or not at all And when we get to where we’re going Past the divide past the stall Past the wind that’s always blowing Travel as equals or not at all In your way, you found a way free In your way, you found a way, follow me Give it up, give it up Give it up to your destiny In your way, you found a way free And you might have a greater income Or you might be dumb and dull But either way I won’t leave you Travel as equals or not at all So help me too in my slumber If I’m blind in madness hall If I’m deaf amongst the thunder Travel as equals or not at all Lift the way forget the ransom Free the chain and kick the ball Let our love take us higher Travel as equals or not at all And down the road and through the sky And on the tracks, hear the gull Fly above us, without worry Travel as equals or not at all

Magnolia Electric Co. - “Whip-poor-will” I got my window open in the Southern Cross Hotel It’s been my longest night I can tell By the way I’m not surprised To see the desert cover over paradise Now count every rhododendron in this cool mountain light I’ve made more mistakes than that just tonight So all of you folks in Heaven not too busy ringing the bell Some of us down here aren’t doing very well Some of us with our windows open in the Southern Cross Hotel Still waiting Still waiting For you to sing that song again The one you were singing at the very fall of man It ain’t Hallelujah, but it might as well have been Sing it brother, one more time Sing it brother, one more time Sing it sister, one more time Sing it sister, one more time Once for everybody who got left behind Whip-poor-will O, whip-poor-will Whip-poor-will

Donate to the Ozarks Literacy Council.

I volunteer with the Ozarks Literacy Council. The organization does great work, but operates on a tight budget. Last meeting we had, we discussed how we would pay for a new copier. The OLC tutors children and adults to get them to a proficient reading level. 

Today is Give Ozarks Day, a 24-hour donation marathon for local non-profits. 

Please donate what you can, even if it’s a dollar. If you would please reblog this, I would be eternally grateful. Thank you for your help.
