You Need a Card for What Holiday?

As some know, I work part time at a greeting card company where my activist soul dies a little each day. If I had my way my existence there would go something like this…

Would you like to purchase one more card and get 100 extra bonus points? And did you know that 1 in 4 women will be sexually assaulted between sophomore year of high school and sophomore year of college?

Are there any other holidays I can remind you of? We have our Thanksgiving cards out or as I like to call it National Rape and Murder Day.

What can I help you find today? … You need Hanukkah cards? Follow me as we make a right at the giant Frosty the Snowman, past the three aisles of Christmas cards and one Kwanza card, we’ll make a left at the glittery Santa, make sure to watch out for the glitter. Here it is: a third of row where you can find all your needs for Hanukah; your cards, your presents, and your wrapping paper.

Yes, I make a difference. One white-Christian-upper-class greeting card at a time.
