Johannes ErnstWent to the town hall of my local congressman. Packed, lots of people very angry and emotional.
His theory of change:
1) in Congress: find 3 Republicans who are more scared of their constituents than of Donald.
2) outside of Congress: reduce support for the administration in red districts by fighting information deficit how repub voters will be hurt
3) direct money impact (social security, schools, veterans benefits etc) is easier to win the argument on than others, so focus there.

RIP this girl - she lived her best life. Very sad to see her go. #catsofmastodon
Beware collapsed distinctions.
Molly Cantrell-Kraig 🍷When you repay someone else’s brokenness or unkindness with the same treatment, you are deepening the spiritual rift for both souls. Breathe and ask yourself: what is present here that will help me grow/learn/heal? This person has appeared in your life as a mirror, not an obstacle.

3. Click on the list whose contents you want to hide on Home
4. Click the slider icon in the top right corner
5. Activate the option labelled "Hide these posts from home"
(Note that this hides the chosen list's entire contents from Home.)
Sean KleefeldGaiman: " If you really can't figure out which political party or which politician to vote for, just ask if they're on the side of libraries. Are they voting to fund their libraries? Are they voting to keep them free? Then vote for those guys. They're probably the good guys. And by the same token, the book burners, the book banners, they're probably the bad guys."

“I will always be on the side of the libraries”: A Conversation with Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman is a fierce supporter of libraries. The author of American Gods, Neverwhere, Good Omens, The Sandman, Coraline, and so many more has had a lifelong love affair with reading. And he credits librarians for fostering his curiosity about books and learning at a young age. Gaiman spoke with I Love Libraries recently about libraries, comic books, book banning in the U.S., movies, and more.
