I voted in person this morning, largely because my 4 year old wanted to know about “boteing”. She recommends choosing her as our leader, by the way. I ended up having to vote provisional because I forgot to bring my mail ballot to surrender 🤦♀️

This is my annual Halloween reminder that where I grew up (Des Moines) “Halloween” was two separate days of events. You had the 31st, Halloween itself, that had school parties and was generally the day that adults were going out to parties/bars.
The kids had Beggar’s Night.

Back in my teenage years, being involved in the UN and working in international diplomacy was a real goal of mine. The idea of ever being able to stand in front of that body and speak was mind boggling.
This wouldn't pass muster at even a junior high Model UN. My god.

So I noticed that the BIBA page had vanished from my links on FB. I assumed it might be related to something similar being said in the news and a possible page timeout, but it's not back yet. (This was before I made any stickers.)
Out of morbid curiosity, does anybody know what's up?
