Today's about doing good stuff. It's all political, as most things are.
First the ruggy thing is coming along, and I already found a box to ship it in when it's done
Next I have another group of small squares to include.
That's practical activism, direct help to people. My crochet ministry.
And I messaged the office of the USAG at the DOJ. Translation for furriners: the United States Attorney General, Merrick Garland, at the Department of Justice. I'm assured by people who have worked there that they read all the mail.
Full credit: I got the idea from a great indie podcast The Daily Beans, and acted on it.
I asked Garland to find a way to release the Jack Smith report to the public, and thanked him for his work. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, let a leak happen.
This report is almost certainly the reason for the latest silly stuff about Panama and Greenland, so instead of watching that, we can give T something to really worry about.
Anyone can do this kind of messaging. Probably better if you're a voting citizen. Just go to DOJ, to Contact us, to email. Done.
I also, since Z is removing fact checking from his platforms, I wrote to the indie women owned, very good, publication Dame, talking up Spoutible.
It's the only online platform which has excellent fact checking, and the editor if Dame, Jennifer Reitman, has now undertaken to make sure they have a presence there. I'm active there, founding member, and I've seen fact checking in action. It works.
Moving along to taking care of people and being united, here's what I baked today.
Left, chocolate walnut cake fresh from the oven. Right, container of same now at Gary's house.
Now I'm going to read. I have plenty of material including the latest Jackson Brodie (Kate Atkinson), Mrs Miniver reissued, the whole of Peter Wimsey, the ongoing Forsytes and more.
The baking was punctuated by a flying visit from Handsome Son to shower, there being a water emergency repair at his building, water suddenly shut off, before rushing to work. We exchanged about three sentences in all.
Happy day everyone, do your bit, I will too. It's good for your spirits to do something to counter nonsense.
