None of us can be sure what will β€œwork.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never β€œsure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

On this Day of Remembrance, we honor the 120,000 Japanese Americans unjustly imprisoned during WWII because of their heritage. Their resilience remind us to never forget the lessons of history. We will continue to fight for justice, equality, and civil rights for all.

I have a better idea: Email tipline@cfpb.gov or DM @cfpb_tipline on X and tell President Trump and co-president Elon Musk to stop letting Wall Street scam you.

Never Whistle At Night in front of my bookcase

I cannot recommend this book enough, NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT ed by @shanehawk.com is my all time favorite anthology. A little bit of everything-ghosts, folklore, creatures…and the best part, I found a lot of new authors to read! You need this #booksky πŸ“š

Just finished β€œThe frugal wizard’s handbook for surviving medieval England” by Brandon Sanderson last night. 4.5⭐️. The right amount of fun, characters I enjoyed spending time with, and a satisfying ending.

Maybe do a soft DNF? Try it again at a different time and it may hit differently? If you’re not having a good time, you don’t have to keep reading it imo

I’ve mentioned this before, but if you’re short on cash but have an urge to shop, go to your library digital apps and browse the books, audiobooks, movies, shoes, magazines. It works really well to give you the same feeling without spending the cash. (Plus you’re supporting public libraries.) πŸ’™πŸ“š
