REMINDER - Blood donations at this time of year can go an exceptionally long way towards supporting the health of your community.

bsky.app/profile/acts...
If you're healthy, find your local blood bank or Red Cross & give blood. Blood supplies are at their lowest during the winter holidays b/c the holiday rush & winter illnesses make people less likely to donate. Sadly, the winter months are when the need for donated blood is generally highest. (1/3)

REMINDER - Research what new laws are going into (and out of) effect in your area on January 1st.

Don't get in trouble for breaking a law you didn't know about and don't be victimized or miss out on a benefit that you didn't know you were legally entitled to. At the start of each new year hundreds of new laws go into effect (or are sunsetted out). (1/3)

If you live in AL, CT, GA, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, MA, MI, MO, MT, NH, NM, NC, ND, NY, OH, PA, UT, VT, WA, or WI: Contact your state legislators (www.usa.gov/elected-offi...). Your state holds municipal elections out of sync w/ federal elections, which has been shown to lower voter turnout.

I don’t have a lot of words today, except to say that there is a concerted effort right now to convince you that “nothing can be done.” It is designed to make you give in to the exhaustion of this moment. Don’t believe it. It’s a lie. We have power if we mobilize it.

REMINDER - Turn your phone off & reboot at least once a week to improve its performance and make it harder for hackers to use malware & spyware on your phone. And remember, it's a passive listener. Hold important conversations in person away from phones & other devices.

bsky.app/profile/acts...
Get in the habit of turning off your cell phone (for at least 2 minutes) and rebooting it at minimum once a week. This allows it to clear its RAM and can clear out some (not all) malware, which in turn improves your phone's performance and can help prevent hacking. (1/6)
