A few days ago, I downloaded the 5calls app. I highly recommend it for contacting elected officials. It makes taking concrete action every day doable. Tip: Make calls on weekend mornings, using the numbers for LOCAL offices. You'll usually get their voicemail.

Went to see a friend and noticed that her books are all arranged on shelves by color and size rather than subject matter. Do I need to rethink this friendship?

Highly recommend. A fun and fantastical story with underlying depth for those who care about that. I love fiction that works on many levels.

From Heather Cox Richardson's 18 November "Letters from an American":
"More Americans voted for someone other than Trump than voted for him."

The title of this article is questionable. He won. However, every time the terms "decisive victory" or "landslide" or "mandate" comes up, we need to speak up.
Donald Trump Has NOT Won a Majority of the Votes Cast for President
Donald Trump’s popular vote total has fallen below 50 percent, and his margin over Kamala Harris has narrowed considerably as all the votes are counted.

Just in case you don't have a happy place, I'll share mine. This was taken a couple of weeks ago. If you're stressed, imagine yourself here, on the pier with the sun on your back and the birds calling. That always works for me when I can't be there. (Like now.)
