Do you hate driving in snow? Have a new driver who needs to learn? Take advantage of today’s snow!

Go find an unplowed empty parking lot (schools, business parks, offices, etc) and PRACTICE!

Starts, stops, slamming on the brakes, turns without fishtailing. Get comfortable in snow!

A fan favorite Thanksgiving story from the Library: In 1926, Mississippi supporters of President Coolidge sent him a raccoon to kill & serve for Thanksgiving dinner. The Coolidges adopted her, instead.👇

Sahan Journal’s reporting on this is very good (and makes SPPD’s behavior look even worse). I feel so badly for everyone who is enduring these violations.

THREAD.

3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead.

We decided to call him Jim.

This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.

Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

Our next bath of 3D printed whistles are in process, and we have requests to supply multiple large trainings over the next 2 weeks.

We’ll also hand out hundreds of whistles (for free!) in heavily immigrant communities this week.
