If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

In fact, I do cackle.
::Insert tongue firmly in cheek::
I read "The Relentless Moon" on audiobook. I think @maryrobinettekowal.com must be the sort of author who sits in her attic, rocking and cackling at the thought of making me bawl my eyes out in my car.
The first two books are SO good but this is BETTER. SO GOOD.
