My friend Kevin Brown is now a few degrees of separation closer to George Takei. He asked an important question of Minnesota AG Keith Ellison in the CNN Townhall.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Screenshot of first two paragraphs
The Year Without Sunshine
by Naomi Kritzer in Uncanny Magazine Issue Fifty-Five | 10883 Words

During one of the much smaller disasters that preceded the really big disaster, I met a lot of my neighbors online. I can’t remember if we set up the WhatsApp group because of the pandemic or the civil disorder or both. My Minneapolis block had always been reasonably friendly—people would take their kids around on Halloween, and I knew the names of my next-door neighbors—but everyone on the WhatsApp group got closer.

When the Internet and cell phones went down, my next-door neighbor to the north, Tanesha, built a little booth in her yard out of plywood, with corkboard inside and a roof, and painted WHATSUP on the outside, so people could leave each other messages inside. When I went in the first day to check it out, people were already posting up notes asking to swap stuff—coffee for condoms, cat food for diapers, a bike repair for a plumbing repair. The stores were empty but maybe someone on the block had what you needed.

Naomi Kritzer's informative blog posts on how to help are great (see last/pinned post).

Her Hugo & Nebula award-winning novelette "The Year Without Sunshine" is a must read for the moment we're in. A fave. We take care of us.

Nothing to see here folks, just a sitting president investing in two companies whose merger he claims sole authority to approve or reject. Totally normal! 🙃

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Image of the Emancipation Proclamation stamp being considered to be reissued. Text states “Henceforward shall be free: Emancipation Proclamation: Abraham Lincoln 1863

The #USPS is holding a vote to choose a stamp to reissue, and one of them is the “Emancipation Proclamation” stamp. Wouldn’t it be great if that one won by a landslide?

#Vote online at www.stampsforever.com/vote

The deadline is Sept 30th, please act now!
