Today's last-minute protest at the federal office (where Musk and his cyber-thugs took over on Friday) was small but mighty. We made our message loud and clear, and many people who drove by honked in support.... Of course MUCH MORE needs to be done, but this was a decent start.

The disatrous 1934 Textile Workers strike, including the Saylesville Massacre in R.I. will be commemorated this weekend at Slater Mill (Pawtucket) and the Museum of Work and Culture (Woonsocket). Depressing way to "celebrate" Labor Day, but I'm going.

My spouse made these bookshelves by stacking bricks and planks of stained wood, which have been great. But next time we move, I'd prefer to get real bookshelves like yours! Where did you get them?
