Deep in the forest, a forgotten temple ruin overgrown by moss is the final resting place of an old god.
A stone is heaved aside, sunlight warms ancient flagstones.
An offering is placed on the altar - salt, bread, oil.
A prayer is said: "If you can help, do so. If not, persist."
It is answered.

Seems to me if voting didn’t matter the people who benefit most from the destruction of democracy wouldn’t be trying so hard to demolish democracy
USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

I'm alive because of regular platelet donors like these. There are only 2,000 donors in Ireland, and platelets are vital for neo-natal units, cancer treatment and post-surgery.
As 2026 resolutions go, becoming a donor is a good one. More info at giveblood.ie/platelets

How How the Grinch Stole Christmas Stole Christmas
Three-hundred wigs. Too many cigarettes. Not enough money. How an “almost anti-Christmas movie” became a holiday classic.

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie.
An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.
So finish the thing.

We believe healthcare is a right for every American.
But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies.
Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.
