A friend and I were talking about awkward stock photos again and I realized it's never a bad time to reshare this list of sites with free stock images that are both less awkward AND more inclusive in terms of the people in them. (It includes a great one for your fall vaccine coverage!)
Free Sources for Inclusive and Stereotype-Busting Stock Images — Madeleine Vasaly
One problem you’ll run into in almost any stock library is that a lot of images are pretty stereotypical and don’t tend to feature a lot of diversity. That’s why whenever I find a new site with free-u...

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.
So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

HOT LIBRARY INTEL: you can ask your library to purchase specific titles for their collection, usually right through the library's website.
Librarians can't know every single new title, nor can they mind-read what their patrons might want to check out. Give it a shot!

If there’s an author you appreciate, one of the simplest, most helpful, least expensive things you can do for them is ask your public library to add that author’s newest book to their collection.
Many library websites have a form for that. So give it a try, and make an author’s day!
