The first thing I think when I hear about the Mango-ones' performing arts center is that it's a strip club (and maybe bingo on Sundays). Not the name going over the house of music and performances that belong to the people (fka the Kennedy Center).

It's a humbug season. Be kind to strangers this week. You don't know what they're hiding behind their eyes.

With the Mints no longer minting pennies, does this mean people will be repurposing their bartops and floors made out of pennies and then epoxied?

Three months ago, my soul cat left.
One month ago, I stopped surviving and trying to live again.
Last night, I started cleaning up after her.
I'm sorry - the sarcasm was a defense method. I know the snark wasn't good, but it was easy to hand.
In this time of pain, be love.

Enough is enough. Contact your Democratic senators TODAY and tell them to call for Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. We desperately need new leadership in the Democratic Party.

Hey, #scout troops. If you're looking for a November community engagement, do a parking lot campfire kitchen. Lot of people could use some warm food during this time.
