Hey everybody, I hate to ask, but I’m putting out my hat if anyone can help. I haven’t talked about it because I didn’t want to make it a big deal but two weeks ago I had to make an emergency room visit. With the big unexpected expense, start of the month payments I’ve hit a negative balance hard

You can subscribe to PBS for a few dollars a month.

Cancel Disney, Paramount and Amazon.

Vote with your dollar and give to the people and organizations who are still fighting back.

Who are trying to make a difference.

Who aren’t owned by billionaires.

Today marks the first day in the 55-year history of PBS and 54-year history of NPR that public media has broadcast to its audiences without federal funding. But even though lots of local outlets are at risk, PBS and NPR are still here, providing fair, accurate news coverage and will not be silenced.

“I don’t know enough about the subject of Palestine” is not an excuse for not speaking up anymore. It is not. We’ve been flooded with information about Palestine for two years now. If you still don’t know, it’s because you don’t want to know. That makes you a coward in my book.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

as a part of your local library....please do!! there's so many services you could be taking advantage of: language services, video/music streaming, ebooks/audiobooks, and much more!!! not to mention whatever unique services your local library offers!!!

wobblerocket 🎲🎮 @wobblerocket.com · 23d

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

I’M GOING ON TOUR WITH BILLIANNE!!!🥹❤️ I’m hitting the road in November to support her UK and Ireland shows, as part of the Modes of Transportation tour (obviously I will be playing Trains🚂). Tickets are up on her website: billianne.com#tour 🎟️ …see you soon😭💙

A portrait shot of Sammy outside in the sun, standing against a blurry background of green trees. He’s looking at the camera and smiling. He’s wearing a grey cap and a grey sweater, a necklace, and glasses with a thin chain. There are doodles and words drawn on the photo. Text says “guess what! This guy’s going on tour with…”

The poster for Billianne’s Modes of Transportation tour, listing the dates which feature special guest Sammy Copley. The poster is cool toned, and features Billianne to the right leaning over a wall and smiling at the camera. She has curly brown hair and is wearing glasses and a navy blue sweater.
