My wills lawyer sent me this blog article she wrote on negotiating with high conflict personalities. I think it's quite good and useful. blog.heritagetrustcompany.ca/posts/negoti...

I just finished the first full draft of my novel, Twin States minutes ago. I am in shock. I am in love.

True. What is remembered, lives. #ThankYouJimmyCarter

Really good suggestions for how to deal with anti-social politics at the dinner table with relatives. My favourite is to divert them by asking for a story about when they'd done something good for someone else. www.theframelab.org/how-to-deal-...

Happy American Thanksgiving to my American friends! Here's an interesting (uplifting) short recording by a historian about your festival. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/november-2....

I worked in the solar and renewable energy industry for several years - a lower cost high range electric vehicle makes me happy. Perhaps when my smart wears out.

I have a strategy to deal with zealots being antisocial: Years ago, I learned that the reason ppl prostletize door to door is not to convert people (doesn't work) but to accumulate stories to share on how they'd suffered for their faith. Our rejection serves that machine. Give them a friendly no.

I love this. I am putting together a study group in my city to work on learning to call in well. If you are one of my friends, contact me privately for an invitation. www.ted.com/talks/lorett...

Here's a secure alternative to whatsapp. All the geeks I read agree the privacy is top notch. signal.org/install

One of the things that kept me on fb was a really active Buy Nothing Group for my neighbourhood. However, Buy Nothing has an app that allows you to stay hyperlocal or expand your radius and impirtantly is not fb. play.google.com/store/apps/d... Its also available for IOS but you'd need to search.

“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.” Happy Birthday Ursula K Le Guin

Libby is an app I use that facilitates borrowing audiobooks from your library. VPL has a pretty good collection and you sign in with your library card number and the last 4 digits of your phone number. www.overdrive.com/apps/libby

I wanted to get off amazon given well, everything, so switched to this. Audiobook purchase supporting small booksellers. Similar membership price to audible. libro.fm
