For those that need a wee break from news, here's a little stop-motion animated film about making, knitting as a means of coping through stress and grief. It's short- about 9 minutes; worth it. The voices are wonderful. #uplift #craftsky #knitsky #visiblemending

Here is one weird form of public participation this tax season:
If you can, use Direct File, the free IRS software to enable you to report your taxes. The more people that use it, and report good experiences, the harder it will be for DOGE to later remove it.

A government program made tax filing free and more efficient. Musk and DOGE may get rid of it anyway
The fate of the IRS Direct File program is unclear as Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency cleave their way through the federal bureaucracy. Republicans and commercial tax preparation...

Vaccines work.
The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Remember that a mask does more than protect against covid.
A well fitted respirator will also keep you safe from flu, measles, TB and other airborne viruses. It will keep those around you safe if you’re sick.
It’s an easy way to demonstrate community care and solidarity.

I just submitted an amendment to the GOP's budget rip off that would protect the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from being dismantled.
The CFPB has brought back $21 billion for consumers, with a budget of just $825 million. That's a pretty good return on investment.

Who else is into #NoBuy2025? And what are you committed to skipping this year? For me, it’s clothes. I already have a lovely fur coat 🦭

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.
