Folks, it doesn’t matter that Schumer voted “no”. He got the Dem caucus on board with caving. THEN the caucus figured out who should vote yes to provide cover for D Sens up for reelection in 2026, who might have been in serious danger of being primaried. As for the retiring D Senators, doing […]

PALADIN'S FAITH by T. Kingfisher -- My favourite Paladin book so far! Each one seems to get more complex and interesting. I love learning more about the world at large and politics demons and spy networks and gods. This series is my happy place. -- 4.5 stars

I just made an extra donation to my local food bank.
It's going to be a rough time for a lot of people who suddenly aren't getting SNAP benefits, and nobody should go hungry. If you're able to help, please do.

I just gave $100 (CAD) to Edmonton's food bank in honour of @aleen's birthday!
I have a monthly auto-donation as well, but extra giving at this time of year is pretty important.

I grew up on food stamps and free school lunches. I remember going to food pantries and walking out with peanut butter and shelf-stable cheese in stark white containers with black lettering. I didn't always like what we had to eat (I hated peanut butter!), but I was lucky enough to never go hungry.
