Do you have book plans for the weekend? My book plans are more about writing than reading.

Find Your Representative Find your representatives. Learn how to find and connect with them. Stay informed about their bills, committees, and contributions.

Reminder that if you see someone trying to figure out how to contact their reps, you now have the INCREDIBLY easy to remember URL to give to them:

reps.fyi

Tell your friends! Tell strangers! Print stickers and put them on things!

Crash every voicemail every day. ❀️

(thank you @gregpak.net!)

The 5 Cs: a rubric for getting through the storm | I Make Up Worlds

I wrote this for myself and posted it to my blog as a form of accountability to remind myself to avoid the outrage/despair cycle.

In honor of FDR’s CCC, I’m calling my rubric the 5Cs:

Cope/curate
Care
Connect
Construct
Challenge

I'm designing a couple of book reading challenges this weekend. What do you like to see from a challenge - number of books read, or kinds of book read?

Been there, done that! It's so frustrating.

Hey fellow kids! Look who found their login information (it was me!).

What are we reading this week when we aren't doomscrolling?
