I made up some half-sheets you can print on 8.5 x 11 (color and b&w) if you want to hand them to aggressive Salvation Army bell-ringers.
I did my best to research everything I ended up including. Will drop some links below.

One more thing about Murdoch Mysteries. I miss the Canadian content. There were stories & jokes in the early years that only made sense of u were familiar with Toronto or know late 19th century Canadian history (the big things & some US history as well.)

Am I the only person who watches Murdoch Mysteries? (It used to be called The Artful Detective.) Interesting combo of steampunk elements & history & early on some really interesting stories. The lead actor is somewhat dreadful but the writing was good & the premise intriguing. Now 🤢

Also Murdoch Mysteries keeps trying to incorporate aspects of US pop culture or recent events in the US & it just becomes totally cringe. Bummer as I used to watch it regularly (got to get my CBC content) but woof. I’m done with it.

Murdoch Mysteries really has become a badly staged Larp at best. I wonder what the steampunk equivalent of jumping the shark is? Jumping the shark on a bicycle?

Instead of installing fucking Pelotons, maybe find a way to make airlines give wheelchairs back, intact, ALWAYS?

St. Nicholas Day is a holiday many Ukrainian families look forward to. To make the day feel special for children, WCK’s #ChefsForUkraine team prepared gingerbread house kits. Daria & Ivan visited a shelter in Kyiv, where they shared the holiday spirit with the 35 kids who now call this shelter home.

If we can magically find $12B for an agriculture bailout caused because of made up tariffs, we can find funding for trains, libraries, & clean energy. Btw the annual budget of the EPA is $9B. The whole thing! About the same with the National Science Foundation. Cut bad stuff, triple good stuff.
Not only can the country absolutely afford to do a lot more good things that help people– in housing, healthcare, infrastructure, and environment– there is no reason not to do it. Pretty simple: We should do big things that help people and not do things that hurt people. bsky.app/profile/cost...
How many times in your life have you heard a member of Congress or someone on TV say “we can’t afford it” when talking about something small but very important? It’s been happening my entire life. We can’t afford it? They’re putting seven times the annual budget of the EPA into immigrant detention.

Folks might not know a lot of people are getting *very* upset that the materials they request are not available in the libraries/archives they're requesting from.
We're getting lots here at the Library of Virginia: requests of documents likely surfaced by large language models that *do not exist*.
