DAY 9: Not much action today because I have a sick kid. But I read about this really interesting fundraising campaign that targets state legislatures that could tip left. I decided to donate.
I’d never contributed to a political campaign before the 2016 presidential campaign – partly because I worked at a newspaper for more than a decade, and ethically couldn’t make donations or even have a yard sign. That took a couple years to shake off.
But even after that, I thought of political donations as something only rich people do. (Which is true & a big part of the problem!) It’s been very satisfying to donate small amounts when I hear about a tight race or a good candidate. And I’m fortunate that I can afford to do so.
Anyway, I also got a new list of addresses from Postcards to Voters. They make it so easy.
Quote-tweet of article from Screenrant that Lady Gaga might play Ursula in live-action Little Mermaid film. @MerQueenJude saying “ursula is fat. umistakably fat. let’s not do this, k?”
okay so the first time I read the harry potter books, my mom read them to me out loud in spanish. you know the part where harry puts the snitch Dumbledore left him in his mouth to reveal the words “I open at the close?” well, I remember being SO confused because the spanish translation of “I open at the close” in the books is “me abro al cierre.” Makes sense, right? Well I, a certified dumbass, thought my mom was saying “me abro EL cierre.” which is all fine and dandy except this roughly translates to “I unzip my pants” which is definitely not the same thing
Do you ever think about how Jeff Bezos could feed literally more than a million food insecure people while losing an hour’s wage but you have to tell yourself no when you want to buy a coffee but can’t because that’s all your rent money?
