The New Orleans Community Fair was splendid today.

lots of amazing activists to talk with, and materials to use for direct action and mutual aid.

Listening to "Orwell's Roses" on audio read by its author. i've read it but thought it would be helpful to me to hear this month.Solnit's musings on Orwell's political and private life is a perfect reminder the work to stop authoritarianism is long and still contain beauty and hope for the future.

Christmas themed bars. The pics are of Lakewood OH’s beloved Around The Corner
Bar set up festively only for December, which is even more impressive for the amount of work required. I’ve long been a fan of New Orleans’ Snake and Jake’s Christmas Club Lounge which has year round xmas decor.

@connieschultz.bsky.social has a great post on Substack today. No one shares Midwestern anger, grit, hope and humanity in short pieces as well as she does.

Huge fan of you both. Just moved back home to CLE after 25 years away and did as much GOTV for Sherrod and Kamala as I could fit in.

One of the few good things about airports is the excellent sports coverage.
