I believe in the power of journalism and communications to create and improve community. I'm editor of The Commons in Brattleboro, Vermont. I'm also one of the staff editors at CreativePro Networks, where we help designers connect, learn, and thrive.
Let me be clear. I love when readers submit news to the newspaper. But this merits a post ... or something. An award, maybe. There was a lot of effort involved.
I just got a news item as an email attachment: a PDF of a scan of a photocopy of a printout of an email to another newspaper.
Reminds me of how I bought a self-help book to address procrastination and time management. That was in 1995. I still haven't read it.
I appreciate Josh's elevation of the term "anti-constitutional," which is different from "unconstitutional." Deciding not to spend appropriations because you don't feel like it isn't some outré theory of the Constitution. It's just an assertion of power, a rejection of constitutionalism altogether.
Note to self: If you're designing a broadsheet newspaper on a laptop, do zoom in every now and then and make sure you haven't accidentally redefined your paragraph style to create an entire page worth of calendar listings as all caps.
@cindywilmot.bsky.social — may I consider using your photos to illustrate a news story in The Commons?
