You did it!
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Meetings are the worst. Tedious, inexorable and very often coming to no useful conclusions.
Artist Will Bryant has got your back though, coming up with misanthropic ribbons that proudly let your colleagues now how little you enjoy their company in Function Room B.
Made out of gold foil embossed in a bright blue ribbon, complete with hanging string for your computer, the 'I Survived Another Meeting That Should Have Been An Email' award ribbons cost $3.50 and measure 2" by 8.5".
If the manufacturers are reading this, here's some more ribbons I'd like to see:
"I Survived Another Meeting That Should Have Been Wrapped Up in 20 Minutes But Dragged Out To A Full Hour"
"I Survived Another Meeting That Digressed Hopelessly Off-Topic"
"I Survived Another Meeting On Just One Small Triangular Sandwich"
"I Survived Another Day In This Bleak World Of Meetings And 'Catch Ups'"
You can buy your very own award ribbon here.
