If you’re a federal govt employee targeted for leave or termination on the basis of your DEI work, please file an EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) complaint & retain legal counsel.

I’m a former NIH PI. Happy to refer you to a law firm that has successfully sued the govt many times!

Our declutter day has turned into a run around for groceries and craft supplies to prepare for the incoming (likely sparse) snow so we can stay inside tomorrow day. Also known as procrastination in service to family time.

This book is a perfect antidote to our horrific current events. Coping lessons from books, nature, and mythology…. It’s a beautiful read. #Booksky 💙📚

Liz is a great author, as are so many of the other ladies here. Go look them up and get talking about them.

Women writers need to be read, enjoyed and remembered. 💙📚

Part joy in that there are so many ways for people to be fed and deep sorrow that they’re necessary.
Also, lots of people in my feeds offering spaces at their tables or even just a plate if a guest does not wish for company this Thursday.
Many thanks to NSCAP for again compiling their list of free Thanksgiving dinners being offered for folks in need here in #SalemMA and throughout the surrounding region. Please share!

Joy 5/n
No picture bc I’m making Christmas presents. I just spent a quiet afternoon at a brewery, crocheting, while spouse read new PHB for a family D&D game. Short interludes of conversation, but mostly focused on individual pursuits. Lovely

Joy 3/n: my sibling’s middle school humor
Hubs just texted me to let me know pickup from his colonoscopy will be delayed because his doctor is "running behind" and now I can't stop giggling. Yes, 12 years old was peak humor for me

Our little free library is used frequently, has become a cool sticker repository, and a landmark to give people directions to our home.

If you're looking for a deck of River and Stone cards, Blue Highway Games ships them to the US! www.bluehighwaygames.com/card-deck-ri... If you're international it probably will be too expensive but you can DM me and I'll investigate.
