Food banks need money if you’ve got it. For everything else, contact them and ask—some can take donated meat by hunters or eggs from backyard flocks, some can’t.

Hi just so I'm clear.

I wrote "donate to food banks" and do "food runs for mutual aid" because they are different things!

Food banks want your money! they can do more with your money than with stuff.

Mutual aid groups often want stuff! Mine has a food fridge!

You guys wanna see a dead body

Ursula Le Guin letter to the owner of Powell's Books in 1999 where she says it would be an honor to know that it's a union shop.

Ursula Le Guin's 1999 letter to Michael Powell, the owner of Powell's Books in Portland. Powell's workers unionized in 2000 and have faced some union-busting measures since, but were the first contract in ILWU Local 5.

8th Time's the Charm? Powell’s Books Union Inks a New Contract After a Labor Day strike and 10 months of bargaining, booksellers agree to a deal.

Since this is getting some traction, wanted to note that Powell's gets the press of being a cute bookstore, and some of that is deserved, but they absolutely could be better to their workers and have done some dirty things in the last 25 years.

altered tweet from lauren on twitter: i'm not falling for that, platner. that's clearly someone with a fetish for getting people to look at his nipples. i refuse to participate in that kind of perversion
