Ranked Choice Voting - In The News!

The Detroit News just published a major piece (buff.ly/Y6XGJl5) on the growing movement to bring Ranked Choice Voting (#RCV) to Michigan & the momentum is real. Be part of the solution, be a volunteer: buff.ly/4UOJHZm

Iโ€™m telling you right now, if you get self conscious about wearing masks in public, get a mask chain. Every single time I wear a mask chain, I get a compliment, and even if that person doesnโ€™t mask it opens the conversation, shows intention, and adds confidence!

I am really enjoying volunteering with this organization. We are building a positive community working towards positive change.
@rankmivote-sc.bsky.social is the field team I'm on, and we'd love to have your support.

I have had fewer issues with a more sheer fabric or lace in terms of moisture. I bought some wider lace ribbon at the store, and it has been perfect. However, with both of these options, fraying has been a problem. I haven't found a good solution for that yet.

I started with using an old filter as a guide and cutting out cotton from fat quarters I liked. I've noticed it tends to hold moisture if you are wearing it all day. So cotton can work for short times, but I wouldn't recommend it for all day.

a mask is the thing youโ€™re looking for. it is the visible reminder of how things have changed, that you acknowledge we are not coveted โ€œnormalโ€ timesโ€”but unlike donation-earned tote bags or symbolic beaded bracelets, the mask is community care in both form & immediate function.

Thanks! Other things I forgot I have in there are cotton rounds and tegaderm for days where a lot of talking is needed. The cotton rounds help with condensation if you fold them in the bottom of the flo mask. The tegaderm can be helpful as a barrier if my skin gets irritated and the mask is rubbing.

The sticker is perfect for my mask customizing kit! I put the fabric I cut to the shape of the @flomask.bsky.social filters, extra filters, extra masks for others, and now my extra mask chains.

My mask chain from @saeboria.bsky.social arrived, and it is even cuter in person! Of course I also needed the glittery sticker as well.

Thanks! I'm excited to have a way to glam them up a bit that doesn't add any breathing resistance. I have a bunch of thin fabric cut to cover the filters, but it can get a bit annoying for an all-day thing.

Inspired by @saeboria.bsky.social and excited for the mask chain I ordered from her Etsy, I decided to make some super quick chains for my @flomask.bsky.social, using strung beads and lobster clasps from Joanns.
I absolutely love how they turned out!

Okay, I'm headed to Etsy now! That is so cute!

Would these be able to work with a flo mask? I am obsessed with how cute these are, but not sure if it'd still be cute with my main mask.

And I think their answer was to make art.
Despite corruption and greed and lawlessness.
Make art.
When your music is banned from radio stations.
Make art.

Even when they burn your books.
Make more art.
Make so much art that they can never ban or burn or block or in any way silence you.

Making animated movies into live action: tiresome, unnecessary, lame

Re-making every classic film into a muppet movie with a single human actor: sophisticated, erudite, revolutionary

what do you mean the wonka prequel movie had a subplot of paying off the police with chocolate and the chief of police becomes at least 300 lbs heavier over the course of the movie including a song about it

Itโ€™s never a good sign when I have an opportunity to post this exceptional public health graphic.

Had an incredible day building community ending with a "scream into the void" around a bonfire.
