It is almost the holiday season. Is your annual campaign ready for Giving Tuesday?
I'm, ah, working on it.
I'm spending my Sunday working on things I hope to share out to our commuity later today.
Honestly, we're struggling to make payroll. Please don't wait to give.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

As a soft money researcher, my life is spent on work-related stuff: telecons, conferences, research, research coms, funding efforts (for days and miles). I also have house stuff (cleaning).
I would forget to schedule fun except I have a movie pass.
I have a movie-sized work-life balance.

I worked at Harvard when this dude was president. It was ... not great. I did really enjoy telling them they needed to actually evacuate when they carried on with a meeting in the conf rm near my office after an actual fire had triggered the alarms. Smart people can be really dumb.
Really dumb.

There’s a heart-shaped feature in the Sun’s corona - seen in a recent SDO’s A193 filtered image, which captures the hot solar atmosphere.

The Sun’s sending its love to Earth … cause nothing says love like an X-class flares and series of proton showers! 😅

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.
