I knocked a couple hundred doors, more importantly the volunteers I work with knocked over 2000 doors. And we brought home a resounding victory. Everyone who knocked a door or made a call to defeat 4 and 5, great work.

My 4 year old is currently obsessed with all things Super Mario, including a) the Switch version of the SNES version of the original 8bit game, and b) the DIC cartoons from the early 90s. One episode was entirely about Bowser kidnapping Milli Vanilli. Pop culture time is so fucking weird anymore.

It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough

you know what else would have fucked up these kids' lives? several of their teachers dying from a preventable illness and the inevitable grief and trauma that would stem from those losses.

There are working class and vulnerable kids who will never have the life they should have had because of school closures. Let’s address that too, shall we?

Gwydion Pennderwen's "Songs for the Old Religion" as a keystone to the intersection of the Pagan and folk revivals. Honestly this book would kick ass.

Just saw one of my elders describe something as promoted by the “now-discredited historian Ronald Hutton,” which I think is a description that would come as news to Hutton.

16 years ago, I published this essay in @ktbuddhamag.bsky.social about the transition between being a Pagan child and becoming a Pagan adult. It was one of the pieces that helped me realize who I am as a writer, and, for that matter, as a Witch. killingthebuddha.com/mag/confessi...

Mount Nittany workers are back to work this morning after an energetic 5-day strike, where nearly 1000 workers in the wall-to-wall union walked off the job to fight for fair wages and better working conditions. Negotiations are scheduled to continue this following week. (Press release in thread)

Mel Buer@melbuer.bsky.social · last wk.

NEW, from me: Today, nearly 1000 workers at Mount Nittany Medical Center in central PA have walked off the job on a 5-day strike. The nearly wall-to-wall union (somewhat rare in healthcare these days) has been in the midst of negotiations for months. Their contract expired July 1.
