Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

I voted on Election Day religiously until 2004 - the images of voters standing in line in Ohio stayed with me.
I'll tell anyone who will listen to vote early in the midterm.

Kid crocheted a duck for a friend. I am her crochet instagram photographer. Had about 20 minutes of daylight when she told me if I wanted to get pictures I had to do it yesterday, so I made the most of it (she printed the mini duck army too)
Strangely she refused to go with me when I went running for the little park that sits across an intersection at rush hour with a gift bag full of ducks π€·ββοΈ

Listened this morning and it put me in such a good mood. Wesley Morris is like top 5 earnestly excited people to listen to. Being into stuff is good!

You donβt know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.
In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said βBring me your clothingβ.
Yes-anding this to add that it is also really important to acknowledge when I realize I was wrong about something!
Did you know you can donate boxes of cookies right from the order form? Great way to support without worrying about shipping logistics or overloading your pantry!
I use this frequently!

I did both flu and covid in one arm and had a pretty nasty bruise + the red splotchy welts I got with previous covid shots - those stuck around for like 2 weeks but it is sweater season!
And also you can pick the manufacturer of your covid shot when you book a vax appointment at Costco pharmacy - the Pfizer and Moderna ones have historically knocked me out so I tried the novavax one this year and felt fine the next day!
My husband put a healthy kid with flu on ECMO yesterday, please get your flu shot!
Re-upping this in case someone needs to hear it going into the weekend and New Years. You arenβt aloneβ this is the hardest time of the year for so many people, and thereβs *nothing* wrong with you if youβre one of them.
