Ted Budd voted no on the spending bill! I didn't trust it. He didn't have to, it wasn't going to pass without a handful of Dems voting yes. Tillis was a Yes :(

For Democrats in Guilford County, precinct organization is happening now. Voting precinct residents register themselves as an organized precinct. If your precinct is not registered, anyone can do it. Precincts send delegates to the county convention. Counties send delegates to the state convention.

Seems like such a small thing today but I finally cancelled Spotify & switched to Qobuz.com. The collection transfer via soundiiz.com is FREE with your Qobuz subscription. All 237 playlists! No more funding AI defense drones. Billionaires are why we can't have nice things. Abolish billionaires.

Had an aha moment reading this. My circling thoughts can be self-destructive. I think there is some benefit to occasionally redirecting my thoughts to building the future I want for us after I'm done grieving the future we got (done grieving for today - the horrors are new every morning, of course).

January is a tough month financially for a lot of people and you can really tell based on the volume of aid requests in our local mutual aid group.

It's chaos and stress and pressure.
Which makes us regress. It makes us make decisions with the oldest and strongest mental habits we have, unless we practice something else.

Test your beliefs in a kind and supportive environment before there's a crisis you need them to stand up in.

I called WF and this was every bit of a scam. Y'all please be careful with texts! The big hint is that they didn't say which card, and also the fact that they called me instead of asking me to call the bank. I picked up to let them know that I would be calling the main customer service line instead.
