I STAND WITH ZELENSKYY SLAVA UKRAINE!

I don't get personal on main very often, but I spent a few hours writing this, and I want you to read it. It's about my dad and my stepmom, and me, and Stranger Things, and what's happening to the VA right now. www.cheriepriest.com/blog/the-dep...

I think you might need to see this: Guy in the car next to me has his CAT ON THE DASHBOARD.

One man is responsible for getting 100s of books (including mine!) banned in Clay County, FL. One sad dude! Sitting there filling out form after form with false claims about books he hasn't even read! The loudest voices have an outsize impact. We need to be loud--and persistent--too. 5calls.org

Dear NetGalley, As annoying as Adobe DRM is, your surprise move to LCP, a format not supported by Kobo or Nook (only Kindle) is going to really screw book reviewers.

Makes perfect sense to discontinue medical research right after a global pandemic that killed millions. This is the kind of strategic thinking we need!

"Our friends, Alison Reid and John Evans, lost their home in the devastating Palisades Fire. Alison and John have enhanced their communities with each of the Diesel Bookstores and now Camino Books in Del Mar." Please help if you can gofund.me/10d52f53

The January 6th attacks weren’t just a dark day—they were a violent, harrowing warning that our freedoms and democracy are under siege. We can never forget, downplay, or excuse the gravity of what happened. Our democracy demands action, and we must stand firm to protect it!

Please stop asking these annoying questions! says the Chicago Manual of Style.

Microsoft Onedrive (*cursed be its name*) has completely forgotten me over the holiday week. None of the stored passwords works, and the advice to "contact your admin" is unhelpful till next week.

BREAKING: Amazon workers in NYC are going on strike right before Christmas—the company's busiest time. The first unionized Amazon warehouse is going to shut down in a historic walkout. Workers plan to hit the company where it hurts to win their first union contract. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI1k...

Tentative agreement in the Strand Bookstore strike! According to @UAWRegion9A: We have a TA at the Strand! We won a $5.90/hr increase over 4 years, meaning ~30% raises for the membership. This TA is the result of a strong & united membership in UAW Local 2179. #StandUpUAW

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/
