1. The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner: I hadn't found a bookt that drew me in so far this year, so I decided to reread this series and what an excellent idea that was! I'm still finding new things to scream about - it's just incredibly brilliant. Gen!!!!

86. The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins: a rollicking sensation novel, full of all the contrived coincidences and shocking moments one would expect; if ever there was a book that NEEDED an ot3 (and indeed might have implied one!), this is that book

I should be writing or baking the cookie dough chilling in the fridge or doing meal prep but instead I am looking for jumbo flyers and lazy kates for my spinning wheel, because last week's class REALLY made things click (I have a great instructor, and great classmates), so I am in this FOREVER

Just a note that menstrual products are the most requested / least donated items in food pantries so if you have the means to pick up supplies perhaps consider it

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

As Toni Morrison said, "the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work." But she also reminded us never to lose our capacity to be shocked.

Part of my conversation on @ayman.msnbc.com earlier today.

You can donate to the Chicago Street Vendor Relief Fund to help buy out a local street vendor’s cart for the day. They’ve partnered with a bike patrol / cycling solidarity group, which rides around buying out the inventory then distributing the food at homeless & unhoused encampments & shelters.
SOMEONE wasn't happy about not being allowed out on the deck this morning.

October 25 is the date of the Council of Elrond and, therefore, the date on which Frodo utters one of my favorite lines in all of literature.

β€œI will take the Ring, though I do not know the way.”

That’s all we can ever do, I think: decide what to do with the time that is given us.

SNAP recipients: now is a GREAT time to learn how to lock and unlock your EBT card, to prevent theft if your card is skimmed, and to offer to help others learn to do it. Search "lock your EBT card" and your state.

I was dying of thirst when you gave me water, yet it was not the water alone that saved me. It was the strength of the hands that gave it.
