  Ahhh, the modern workplace: a cauldron of stress and anxiety. From the moment we accept a new role, we’re thrown into a world of competing personalities, shifting protocols, and an endless stream of emails, Slack messages, and Zoom calls, all of which serve to distract us from the things we truly want to be doing, like eating Thai food and sleeping until noon. 
  I Hope This Email Finds You Never puts aside the motivational screeds, productivity hacks, and pop-science, and focuses instead on those things in the workplace that truly cause us grief—like a coworker eating an apple during a video call—in a lighthearted, entertaining, and (most importantly) cynical way. 
  Some things you’ll learn:How long you can get away with being “new” until you’re held accountableHow to make it look like you’re sorry without giving up any powerHow to find a workplace friend and make a workplace enemyCamera position: how to set up your laptop for maximum dominanceOrganizing your calendar while leaving time to cryThe rules of the kitchen (stealing someone’s yogurt is literally a crime)Writing a letter of resignation when you’ve already been resigned from day one 
    
  From Orientation (The Descent), Workplace Etiquette (No Eye Contact Before 11 AM), Working Remotely (Wink Wink), Coworkers (Getting Along with your fellow inmates), and everything in between, I Hope This Email Finds You Never is your must-have guide to surviving (thriving is not realistic) in the modern workplace.

  I'm Probably Going to Hell for...

  Do you ever wonder what comes after this life? Do you ever wonder why the nun who taught your seventh-grade math class could swing a ruler better than Babe Ruth? Did you ever wonder if Noah put the tigers next to the gazelles in the arc? How about some of the rules in the Old Testament? And why did the Vatican commission paintings of Jesus that looked like a guitarist from Led Zepplin? Jesus was from the Middle East. He didn't look like any of the paintings we have seen over the years.  
  I try to tackle life after death, religion (especially the Catholic religion), and the Old Testament in this book. The book is filled with satire. Just look at the title. It's a book to make you think and laugh. Nothing more, nothing less.

  Creating a wildlife habitat garden is a rewarding way to connect with nature and contribute to the well-being of local ecosystems. Whether you live in a city, suburb, or rural area, designing a garden that supports birds, butterflies, and other beneficial creatures can bring a sense of peace and harmony to your space. The importance of wildlife habitat gardens has grown over the years as the natural world faces unprecedented challenges, such as habitat loss, climate change, and pollution. By planting with purpose, you can play an essential role in reversing these trends and create a sanctuary that supports biodiversity. 
  The primary focus of this book is on two of the most beloved and visible wildlife groups—birds and butterflies. These creatures not only provide beauty and joy to our gardens but also contribute significantly to the health of our environments. Birds are critical pollinators, seed dispersers, and pest controllers, while butterflies are essential for pollination, helping to fertilize plants as they move from flower to flower. Both species are also vital indicators of ecosystem health, and their presence can signal a thriving environment. 
  Designing a garden that attracts and supports birds and butterflies requires more than simply placing a birdbath or planting a few flowers. It involves understanding their needs and the role plants play in supporting these creatures through every stage of their life cycle. From providing the right types of plants to offering shelter, food, and water, every element of your garden will need to be carefully considered to create a balanced, thriving habitat.

  RICHARD PRYOR 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Richard Pryor was an iconic American stand-up comedian and actor known for his observational comedy, racial humor, and self-deprecation. Born in Peoria, Illinois, he had a difficult childhood growing up in a brothel. Pryor's career evolved from middlebrow comedy to a more controversial style after a transformative moment in Las Vegas. He incorporated profanity and racial themes into his routines, earning him widespread recognition and critical acclaim. Pryor won numerous awards, including a Primetime Emmy and five Grammy Awards. He also starred in films and co-wrote Blazing Saddles. He was also known for his personal struggles, including substance abuse and multiple sclerosis. His influence on comedy is immense, and his legacy is still celebrated today. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Richard Pryor's early life was far from ordinary as he grew up in a brothel run by his grandmother, where his mother worked as a prostitute. He was also sexually abused at the age of seven and later expelled from school at 14. 
    
  Pryor served in the U.S. Army, but spent most of his time in military prison for his involvement in an incident where he and other black soldiers assaulted a white soldier who laughed at racially charged scenes in a film. Despite this, he was also a member of Henry Brown Lodge No. 22, where he became a Prince Hall Freemason. 
    
  Before his breakthrough as a controversial comedian, Pryor started as a middlebrow comic, taking inspiration from Bill Cosby. He appeared on mainstream television shows like The Ed Sullivan Show and The Tonight Show, and even had success as a comic in Las Vegas.
