Do want to see how folks are holding up and you need an account for that.
Trying to keep it together and doomscrolling is not helping, so pausing elsewhere.

Done and amplified! If folks need some language, here’s what I wrote
Screenshot of Actionnetwork.org petition link Your letter Your letter subject: Invest in Libraries, Invest in People Your message Libraries are a critical resource to people living in a neighborhood. We depend on it for reading materials of course, but also we rely on it as a free space to gather community members, to connect with folks, to use the computers and printers — things that’s aren’t available to everyone at their home. Also, as a parent, I use the library as a safe place for my child to have fun and connect with other kids. Please invest in this critical resource by giving us half a percent of the overall city budget. This is an investment that pays dividends.

Remember: you don't have to spend Thanksgiving with people you don't like or don't want to.

Q: How can you tell the difference between Lou Grant and Nero Wolfe?
Text from the Nero Wolfe book Where There's a Will, by Rex Stout: leveled at him, certainly didn't look scared, and her voice didn't sound like it. "You can't browbeat me. The last time I was in a panic was when I swallowed a live frog at the age of two. I wouldn't be now, even if I had murdered Mr. Hawthorne myself." "That's fine. I like spunk. What was the decision you made?"

One of only 3 cats who read the hardback. But all of them went out and immediately formed a band afterwards.

I don't need a copy but I wanted to show you what great taste *my* cat, Jubilee, also has.

If the sole purpose of Halloween was so that It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown could exist, that alone would make the whole endeavor worthwhile.
