I really can't stress how important it is for progressive and leftists to contend for school, library, water, etc etc boards. Hyper local involvement in our communities where we can actually influence lives.
Following the recent election, leadership will be changing in many districts where conservative values previously dominated school board meetings and community actions.

Voters shift school boards toward LGBTQ+ inclusion across PA and N.J. - Philadelphia Gay News
School boards in PA and NJ are shifting fast—LGBTQ+ leaders are winning, conservatives are losing, and policy battles are heating up.

@nealacree.bsky.social I'll have you know within a minute of starting #TheMightyNein, my husband (without looking at me) said, "We're getting the score, right?"
Me: "I got half of it this morning - the other half is released on December 4th."
Him: "Love you, boo." :)

Hubby and I just finished watching the first three episodes of #TheMightyNein, and once again, @criticalrole.bsky.social has captured lightning in a bottle.

And I have fallen in love all over again with Liam O'Brien and Taliesin Jaffe as Caleb and Molly.

Don't say "commission" either. Keep that shit blank
Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

My latest on how the 2026 Seattle budget (final Council vote on Friday) is not setting Katie Wilson up for success, between its accounting tricks, one-time funding, and CM provisos. Also some details about the federal Continuum of Care changes, which I know many of you have been concerned about.
