Happy #GivingTuesday, lovelies!
There are so many nonprofits working to make things better. Most all of them are maxed out, with more demand than they have resources.
Please give generously.

We've been swinging back and forth between parties and ideals for a long time.
Always have the long game in mind.
Remember that results don't always come quickly.
Consistently communicate values, even beyond immediate news.
Don't get distracted.

It's my birthday week, and I'm going to be absolutely obnoxious about it.

I'm here a little late, since I jumped into work right away.
Did you know that there is still an election? That could influence the US House? If you can support Aftyn Behn in Tennessee, you'll help make history.

I'm still frustrated at Dems caving, but I also know that Republicans will use cruelty, hunger, and destruction to keep their power and money.
I do not forget who is really at fault.

There are many "news deserts" around the country, where people are not getting local news. This is one gap we need to address to keep people from falling to propaganda.
Even a local newsletter would be helpful.
