We need $1600 by Oct 28 to help keep a recently housed neighbors power on. This will allow him to start a payment plan he can manage through SSI payments.

Thank you all!! Love & solidarity!

Should add really that if you're a smol newsletter bean who would dearly love to NOT be on Substack, then I will happily roll (and manage) a Ghost install for you for cost + a small maintenance fee.

I'll talk you through setting up your own mailgun and stripe. Do that and you keep ALL your revenue.

Ok #uglydog friends. I asked for advice a couple of weeks ago and several of you encouraged me to make a gofundme to raise money to pay for the surgeries that Bella and Moneypenny need. I’ve finally made one. I know many of us and struggling and hurting right now, so I understand if you aren’t able.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

I'm Amy and I paint celestial pottery with glaze ✨

This started when I wanted to take us on an adventure during the pandemic lockdown. Now, offering pots like these to be part of your daily life feels like another way to keep hope alive.

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

Making free meals available to all public students wouldn't only produce benefits equal to the costs, it would produce social benefits with a net worth of about $520 million a year, according to an economic analysis released last Monday. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/10/14/a...

Better & made by a real person!

This is still a huge thing in rural areas. I asked my car guy for the name of a plow guy and gave a recommendation for a tree guy in the past week. The bread guy lives on the other side of the hill from me. I'm the guy with the truck. (Guy has become gender neutral, which is also great.)

If you're able, please consider a donation to the Alaska Community Fund to help people in western Alaska impacted by ex-typhoon Halong even as winter is bearing down. All the money donated goes to the region. Quyana. #Alaska #AlaskaSky

Check the ArcheologySky feed - it looks for a couple of keywords and the urn emoji.

Anyway. I've partnered with @decolonialatlas.bsky.social to distribute their incredible map of North America from an Indigenous perspective with all placenames in the native language. Paper ones sold at cost. www.mapcenter.com/store/p/turt...

A joyous Indigenous Peoples day to you all! And if you're struggling to quit the OTHER mid October holiday cold turkey, may I interest you in an Italian who was a better mapmaker, better explorer, actually visited New England, and didn't (as far as anyone knows) murder anyone?

I have my issues with national leadership of the American Red Cross and likely will forever, but when the bar is in hell...

When I was with Red Cross Disaster Services, we would sometimes be at the same site as the Salvation Army. They *always* prioritized feeding the PD/FD. We fed victims, families, SAR, volunteers, and anyone else walking by. (Also, their beef stew sucks.)

If for some reason you can’t get behind Indigenous Peoples Day today, feel free to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving. Americans stole a perfectly good holiday and turned it into a day for Columbus, in exactly the same way they coopted Remembrance Day and made it about their Veterans only.

One of my favorite public radio stations was started at a high school!

They get programming from NPR and NV1 (which distributes Native-made and Native-centered programming.)

Speaking of which - whether it's for your Indigenous People's Day Donations OR because you're part of the #UglyDogs - Dr. Kat is from Kotzebue and I trust her recommendation for what will get resources there.

Hey, #uglydogs & #mushersky - If you are there, let us know if we can do anything to help.

Everyone else, send prayers or good thoughts to the Y-K Delta. This is another piece of the same storm that caused Kotzebue to evacuate, did major damage in that area.

DO NOT EVER POINT LASERS AT AIRCRAFT
This isn't an "illegal but harmless mischief". This is a "illegal because it can blind the pilot and they crash the aircraft". Do not cause aircraft to crash. It can kill people on the ground. It can start a wildlife.

Tabletop RPG enjoyers can get games while supporting the Legal Aide Justice Center in Richmond.

Last time shouting about this: I have a livestreaming concert online on Sunday, afternoon west coast, nighttime in Europe.

details on what I'm up to musically are below!

This is still going on through midnight tonight, I think. So, if you can contribute, I'm one of the matchers and you should definitely help us all spend out money!
