I froze my credit today. It costs nothing, it won’t affect your credit score, and it might help keep those mf Elmo mitts off our money.
It takes 10 or so minutes and can be undone any time. If you are interested, here are some links:
Here are some songs that bring a smile to my face and warmth to my heart.
Here’s something we can all do–or not do, rather. Spend nothing this coming Friday and grind the economy to a halt for 24 hours. The oligarchs who run this country care only for money and power so let’s show them what we care about and the real power of solidarity.
If you have to spend for whatever reason, try to shop locally if you can (always a good idea any time of the year) and if at all possible, boycott Amazon always. And speaking of Amazon, if you own a Kindle, be sure to download your books before February 26. After that, you’ll still be able to read them on Kindle, but you won’t be able to transfer to any other device. Going to save the profanity-laced tirade against billionaires, but just know I’m thinking it.
I’ll try to end each post with something I love because while things are bleak and scary af, I still want to take time for joy and creativity. This lovely man’s home and his passion for creating and curating make me smile. Enjoy!
Because his last reign of awfulness was so much fun, we (in the US) decided to do it again. Smart! And I decided to keep my blog posts from the last round to preserve a record of how I felt and what I did in 2016 and 2017. Some of this didn’t age particularly well, and some of it is depressingly familiar.
This will be a place to park the resources I find/use (see the link above) and hopefully, a place where you can share what helps you to take action and get through what promises to be an absolute–I want to say shitshow but that doesn’t cover it. It will be a time, I guess.
Feel free to rant or cry or whatever. I plan to do the same. Let’s help each other, let’s resist, and let’s make the world a little better.
