Vetting: this GoFundMe is being run by a distant cousin, was passed to me by a family member, and from what I was told, will go straight to those islands. 80% of the homes were destroyed. Your dollar is 2.5x an EC dollar. It will go far. It will make a difference. Even a single dollar donation.

Hello social medias...

You may not be aware a major Cat 5 hurricane struck an area that normally doesn't get them. The eye passed directly over Carriacou and Petit Martinique.

The devastation is tremendous. The need is great.

You can help and make a difference:

I had to go to the CANCER CENTER last month for special bloodwork and I was one of 3 people masking (of >25) in the whole center. I was aghast.

đź’— money for voting is the endgame, but keeping people feeling encouraged & hopeful enough to fight is the victory.

Some people really can’t wrap their minds around the idea that shutting the fuck up is free.

The only time you should panic that you've missed an email is if you wake up tomorrow and still haven't gotten an email asking you to pay! Please check filters & spam for us, as we sometimes go awry when doing really large mail merges!

Since we have some new friends along for the ride, I just want to give y'all a heads up about how the Auction Aftermath will go! (And I think we have a streamlined process this year, wheee!) First off: the auction ends at 8pm. But we have extended bidding on for maximum chaos!

Doesn’t it! Maybe he’s got the right idea and I need to find a blanket of my own.

Far too sleepy to attempt to brave the potential holiday weekend crowds at Costco today. Monday it is.

At least six people who I know are diligent about taking precautions, including masking in public, are sick this week Step up your precautions if you haven’t already

Good morning #Romancelandia !

A little over 12 hours remain in the @romancingthevote.bsky.social auction to raise money for VoteRiders and Fair Fight.

I’m offering a pair of hand knit stockinette socks and they’re way below what you’d pay if I were charging you for the 8-16 hours they take!
