My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.
On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help. "I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed. "I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions. "I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her, 'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

It's so annoying because I feel an obligation to actually open them to make sure they aren't real

But I vividly remember listening raptly to an explanation of gold electroplating and how the word sounds impressive but you could electroplate a mile of railroad track with an ounce of gold when I was probably, like, 7?

My father was a consumer fraud lawyer for most of my childhood, but is that why? Or is my innate fascination with scams why I was always so interested in hearing about his job? A true chicken and egg question

there is something a little humiliating about being like "I am an author, did you invite me to appear at your book club?" knowing the answer is almost certainly "no" but....whatever

Yeah in every case I almost just sent the email to spam and then was like "well book clubs do exist in the world I should check" and then realized the book club in the email existed but the email was almost certainly not from its real organizer

I mean I didn't HAVE to but in 2 cases I wasn't 100% sure and didn't want to delete the invite without double checking, and in the other case I sort of felt morally obligated IDK. If someone was catfishing as me I would want to know even though the knowledge would stress me out w/o benefitting me

The phishers have now moved on to posing as the organizers of real book clubs so that's fun, I have had to tell 3 people this week that someone is impersonating them

Thank you so much!!! I have to admit I was dubious while I was knitting it because it just looked sort of lumpy and schlumpy but blocking was transformative! Now I'm super happy with how it came out :DDDD

I know some folks are avoiding Amazon right now… We made the considered decision to use it because almost everyone has an account and setting up a new online account would be a deterrent for a lot of our donors esp older folks. But we are happy to accept similar items from the store of your choice!!
