  <title>Snowflake Challenge 3: Scream into the Void</title>
  <link>https://ysabetwordsmith.dreamwidth.org/13818647.html</link>
  <description>&lt;b&gt;Challenge #3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;In your own space, Scream Into the Void. Get it all out. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know Snowflake is sunshine and rainbows and singing from the rooftops all the lovely and brilliant that is being in a fandom. But, let&amp;rsquo;s be honest. Sometimes--like with other things--there are sucky parts, heartbreak parts and just plain UGH parts. Rather than holding onto those slights and resentments, or burying them and pretending they don&amp;rsquo;t exist, just to have them slowly and almost imperceptibly seep into the rest of the challenges this month, why don&amp;rsquo;t we just let it all out?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those of us who celebrate Festivus for the rest of us, this will be familiar. We call it &amp;ldquo;Airing of Grievances&amp;rdquo; and it is actually very satisfying, whether you do it tongue in cheek, get introspective or just literally scream.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Warning: Here there be dragons.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://snowflake-challenge.dreamwidth.org&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.imgur.com/LiGYnns.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Snowflake Challenge promotional banner with image of snow-covered trees and an old barn in the background.

  <title>Three Reasons Employers Are Stupid</title>
  <link>https://ysabetwordsmith.dreamwidth.org/10325659.html</link>
  <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.inc.com/jt-odonnell/3-reasons-millennials-are-getting-fired.html&quot;&gt;That wasn&apos;t the original title of this article&lt;/a&gt;.  But allow me to elucidate ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesus H. Christ on a gluten-free cracker.  Millennials are having problems because the workplace is DIFFERENT now.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://ysabetwordsmith.dreamwidth.org/10325659.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=ysabetwordsmith&amp;ditemid=10325659&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
