Since Good Omens is trending hither and yon, this seems a good time to note that Nanny Ashtoreth sales at BPAL raise $$ for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and the Orangutan Foundation UK.

I have a fond memory of wearing this scent: I was in a corporate elevator with a handsome stranger who, after a floor or two in polite silence, suddenly burst out with "What is the perfume you're wearing? It smells fantastic!"

Also in the realm of "escapades fandom is somewhat responsible for," here are two clips of me singing Mika's #IWantYourIceCream to my Nashville Public Library and Kentucky Horse Park rubber duckies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99ii0W0Z5Kw (for a [profile] mikasounds video challenge, and to make some of you laugh).

Jen Hoffman on perseverance: https://americansofconscience.com/writes-future/

The Godwin of Godwin's Law on concentration camps.

Not gonna lie: it's disheartening that yet another candidate for whom I wrote postcards has lost (Ryan Terrell in Florida). But I shall write some more postcards to get out the vote (in FL, coincidentally), and Jen has actions/scripts for protecting the vote. And I just saw the Pirke Avot quotation Paula and I have both invoked a number times embedded in a longer extract attributed to Brooks McCall:


The Talmud states, "Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly now, love mercy now, walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it."
