Government workers 👇🏾
Lunch is on the house: Being in the heart of downtown DC, we love that so many of our Federal employees stop by during lunch for a Donburi at China Chilcano or a Fútbol Club at Jaleo. And just because the government is shut down doesn't mean you have to miss out on your favorite lunch spot- because this time, its on us! Join us for lunch from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM at any of our participating restaurants and enjoy a free lunch item when you present your government ID-you heard that right! Dine in with us Monday through Friday and choose your favorite: a sandwich at Jaleo, a donburi at China Chilcano, a wrap or pita at Zaytinya, or a torta at Oyamel. We've always believed in serving our community with open arms and good food-no shutdown can stop that.

I know I’ve been pretty quiet for a while, but any of my followers able and willing to give this good boy a forever home? The folks fostering him need to find him a place and are willing to work with an adopter on travel. I can personally attest that feline diabetes is quite manageable.

HELLO: As I mentioned on Friday, I got laid off from my role at Splinter. I have now migrated my long-dormant newsletter, Gravity Is Gone, to a better home (Ghost), and will start writing and reporting over there. I would *love* it if you would sign up.

The U.S.’s largest estuary is showing signs of revival. Once written off as a dead zone, water clarity in Chesapeake Bay has improved, underwater grasses are expanding, and crab populations are steadier thanks to decades of pollution controls. Nature buff.ly/morNFth

Reviving the Old Bay
To undo centuries of damage in the Chesapeake Bay, six states are fixing forests, farms, city runoff, wetlands, rivers and oyster reefs across this massive watershed.

On 27th August 2015, The Shepherd's Crown, the last book Sir Terry Pratchett completed before he died, was published.

To mark the ten year anniversary, we have a message from Rob Wilkins:
It’s been ten years since the publication of The Shepherd’s Crown, the last book Terry Pratchett completed before he died. Once the spine on this one was cracked, there were no more new Pratchetts to look forward to, and I know a lot of Discworld readers who were, understandably, with that sad reality in mind, reluctant to finish - or even start - this one because it felt like the final closing of a door. But I also know that Terry wanted his books to be read and enjoyed far more than he wanted them kept on a shelf. And as time passes it becomes ever more apparent how much the Discworld books reward re-visiting, perpetually revealing something new, literary gems Terry had hidden away for a second or third, or even more, re-read. Every Pratchett is to some degree an unread Pratchett, including the ones you’ve already enjoyed and including The Shepherd’s Crown. So the greatest way to honour Terry’s legacy is to pull that book you’ve been saving off the shelf, make a nice cup of tea and settle down to read the story he wrote for you. Enjoy.

@monarobot.bsky.social a quick question for you! I’m contemplating commissioning you for art for a tattoo - is that something you’d be ok with? I’d be cool with paying the extra tattoo fee.

The more I can get sold over the next 2 days, the more chance of me making it through to a new job of some kind. Right now I have August rent on hand, thanks to you all, am working on September. (And still need to replace phone.)

US: Just a day and a half left to get your orders in, US shipping will be closed after Tuesday 12th August!

Just 13 pendants left in stock. If I can sell most of these, that's September rent taken care of, if I can sell out all, I can replace my dead phone.

Currently have 22 pendants listed - mostly labradorite, a few of the dyed quartz fidget pendants still up for grabs.

I have enough cord, boxes, and envelopes to ship out the entire shop. Now I just need the orders! The more I can earn now, the better my chances of sorting something.

Right, that's last night out in the post, who is up next?

Remember - if you're in the US, your last chance to order is Tuesday 12th August - that's next Tuesday. At present I have no clue when or if I will be able to re-start orders to the US in future.

Seriously, these are some of the most exquisite and affordable jewelry pieces you can buy right now. I absolutely LOVE my pendant. And they have generously sized bails allowing for easily using with your favorite chain or necklace.

Well, I do. Love that man.
