It's too cold to be outside for long periods of time this weekend, DC.
If you see a community member in need of a safe, warm space—call the shelter hotline for free transportation to a DC shelter:

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

I’m mindful today of those for whom this is their first Thanksgiving without a loved one. I’m praying for a measure of peace and the comfort of beautiful memories.

Agreed. Working 40+ hrs/wk until your joints are worn to nubs that grind against each other—all while making money for other people, then you’re basically put out to pasture to lick your wounds.

I have huge respect for folks who write about and through these times. It is such hard but important work. It is not easy to understand or make sense of what we are living through right now. Appreciate all the writers, historians, and scholars out there doing this work.

Indeed. An appalling event that, when I grew to understand it more, played an important part in shaping my world view.
