Down to the last 100 of 800 #BlueWave postcards to Texas voters, providing a link to check their voter registration status. Their pathetic governor purged over 1 million voters shortly before November midterms to prevent his citizens from voting against him & the wildly corrupt Ken Paxton!
Brown tabletop filled with postcards to Texas voters, highlighters, pens, stamps and star stickers. Postcards show 2 rows of white cowboy boots on a light blue background with the words, “Be a voter, check your voter registration status. Be sure you can vote” in red lettering.

I signed up last week to write 800 postcards to TX voters with info on how to check voter registration status & re-register if the dishonorable Gov. Abbott un-registered them. Have finished 200 so far!
Piles of partially completed postcards saying “Be a Voter! Check your voter registration. Be sure you can vote.” along with pens, stamps & stickers sit on a wooden table

Truly excellent & inspiring work! It made me remember this 2019 drawing, which was my fed-up #MeToo reaction to the Brett #Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination hearing.
Graphic drawing entitled so you know, this is how it “works”
The People
You: young, trusting, in need of a chance, job, help, being left alone (shows woman of color with small child, young white woman, woman in janitor uniform, young boy, woman in suit)
Them: established, feel entitled, can make decisions that affect you (shows Harvey Weinstein , Clarence Thomas, a priest, Donald Trump)
The Situation 
Alone, no witnesses (shows woman talking to silhouette of a man seated behind a desk) OR groups of entitled men (shows silhouettes of men commenting on appearance of young woman)
Their Actions
1. Gain your trust with flattery and attention 
2. Violate your boundaries with comments and touching
3. Gaslight you—twist your perceptions by creating self doubt and shame
Your Choices
Say nothing—and live with corrosive anger and second guessing yourself (shows woman curled in a ball crying ) OR Complain publicly and subject yourself to 1. Widespread doubts about your motives and credibility, 2. A system biased in their favor (shows a woman in HR office being told that her account was disputed and given lack of proof, she is being transferred to a different location)

So many pictures to choose from & not sure this is the happiest. But Zhannya ADORES her Jack Russell terrier friend, Max, when she sees him at the dog park. She scrunches down so that they can play together on his level.

Text; Q: what conditions cause bilateral bruising on back of hands in the elderly
A: bilateral bruising on the back of the hands in older adults is frequently caused by actinic outputs (also known as senile or solar purposes). This natural aging process thins the skin and degrades connective tissue. Other common causes include blood thinning medications, sun damage and underlying clotting disorders.

Don*ld Tr*mp’s pathetic negotiation skills were well known long BEFORE he got into politics—see below from a 2015 MBA negotiations textbook. Is it any wonder the U.S. got such a crappy deal (already violated) with Iran? #irandeal
Picture of 2015 negotiations textbook describing the business negotiations approach of the current U.S. president: Real estate developer Donald Trump has a well publicized reputation as a hard-line negotiator. In an article describing Trump’s negotiations with the Taj Mahal Casino Resort’s bond holders, Trump’s advisors tell how after a deal is agreed upon, he always comes back requesting something more. Well-informed counterparts, familiar with his reputation, are prepared for this tactic and anticipate it in deciding how many concessions to make … Similarly, Trump has a reputation for storming out of negotiations in the middle of talks. An anonymous participant in the bondholders negotiation above said, “You know Donald’s going to get up and leave, you just don’t know when.”
