Anybody got an older but still works fine laptop they'd be open to passing along?
just wanted to toss this out here in case anyone has an extra or perhaps selling a decent laptop for a decent price to help a native out? 🥺
it's been hard not being able to use a solid one for school & content/writing i do. plus what sucks is due to our grant issues my pay was decreased at work.

Anybody got a Freewrite Traveler they're willing to part with? Lily could sure use one!
This is not a life-threatening/emergency ask compared to other things I’ve asked for assistance with, but I’m looking for someone who is willing to rehome their Freewrite Traveler. I used to have one that I got for my book tour in 2023 but I sold it last year when we were preparing for homelessness.

Apparently the Great Redwood Trail, the planned 320-mile multiuse trail between Marin and Humboldt Bay in Arcata, has been taking some local blowback.
Their board meeting is running right now, and if you want to Zoom in and speak in support of the project, it would be appreciated!

Why could we all see that Bill Cassidy was 1000% being played, but he (seemingly) couldn't?
RFK Jr had committed to Bill Cassidy, as a condition to win his vote, that he would keep website language.
Cassidy in February: “If confirmed… CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism.”
Note the language in second photo.

I was just laid off for the second time this year. It's going to be a hard fall and winter. My safety net, as is the case for too many of us especially these days, is the kindness and generosity of friends and strangers. Anything helps.
