I remember when you posted that! What a trip, I'm so stoked about all the progress you made. Good luck with the API integration, can't wait to see how it all shakes out!

I don’t like the color blue. AITA?
Bone is great, but I think Adams' work, particularly The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, will resonate with OP. You're right, it's an easy read (but not necessarily simple), and it never feels like a chore. @QuietStorm, if the opening paragraphs appeal to you, you might dig this book:
The house stood on a slight rise just on the edge of the village. It stood on its own and looked out over a broad spread of West Country farmland. Not a remarkable house by any means—it was about thirty years old, squattish, squarish, made of brick, and had four windows set in the front of a size and proportion which more or less exactly failed to please the eye.
The only person for whom the house was in any way special was Arthur Dent, and that was only because it happened to be the one he lived in. He had lived in it for about three years, ever since he had moved out of London because it made him nervous and irritable. He was about thirty as well, tall, dark-haired and never quite at ease with himself. The thing that used to worry him most was the fact that people always used to ask him what he was looking so worried about. He worked in local radio which he always used to tell his friends was a lot more interesting than they probably thought. It was, too—most of his friends worked in advertising.
On Wednesday night it had rained very heavily, the lane was wet and muddy, but the Thursday morning sun was bright and clear as it shone on Arthur Dent’s house for what was to be the last time.
It hadn’t properly registered yet with Arthur that the council wanted to knock it down and build a bypass instead.
You can fuck right off with that bad faith "both sides" horseshit. You aren't fooling anyone, people are wising up to this shitty tactic.
Oh yeah, he's got a bunch of films that get kinda overlooked these days due to all his franchise work. You might like Regarding Henry, it's a slow burn character drama, worth a watch. Might make you cry.
Also, Frantic is a good "American in trouble in Europe" thriller if you don't mind that Roman Polanski filmed it.

Simple, yet so effective and memorable. A lesser movie would've had a monolog or a fist fight. I keep forgetting about this one, such a great film.
Are you in the U.S.? If so, I would seek legal counsel. Creating a hostile work environment is illegal: https://www.eeoc.gov/harassment
I'm just going to reiterate what soyagi said. Don't feel obligated to work yourself to death just because your company is understaffed; the burden does not fall on you, but whoever is in charge of the budget. It's not your fault. You aren't a frickin' robot. If they can't afford to hire enough people to run the business, their business is likely unsustainable. And that's not a place where you want to work anyway, because it is always going to be like this. You'd be doing yourself a huge favor if you can learn to value yourself, because you deserve better.
That's not very metal of them
They don't mention this, but Minecraft isn't the first to abandon the shitty fandom.com platform. Zelda wiki left Fandom last fall, the Star Trek Online wiki jumped ship in February (sorry for the Reddit link, there's no article on STO), and the Fallout wiki left too. Evidently there are more game wikis that got fed up with Fandom and set up shop somewhere else, but there's no press on that, at least that I could find. It's definitely part of a trend, and people need to aware of that.
Edit: others have commented about the exodus of other game wikis. Yep, definitely a trend that isn't being reported
It would be perfectly synchronized. The perfect wave
This is all political theater. The document is just a complaint form they filled out. It contains no evidence, just accusations. Of course, I expect no less from the Fascist party, it's right out of their playbook.
