Some better news (to the extent that being an old-school Republican who doesn’t want to pay taxes and doesn’t pay much attention is better). I’m assuming this came from or via FB, but I trust my source.

Screenshot of a (probably Facebook) post from Mark Pahlow, owner of Archie McPhee’s. Text reads “I made a personal $10,000 contribution to Let's Go Washington because I supported its income-tax initiative, I-645. I did not adequately investigate or account for the organization's full agenda. When I learned about the other initiatives they were funding I asked for and received a refund of my donation. I have always believed in and supported LGBTQ+ rights.
To help mitigate the harm I have caused, I have donated $10,000 to No Hate in Washington State to stop these appalling initiatives from being passed. I'm sorry, to the community and to the people who work at Archie McPhee. I am committed to making Archie McPhee a safe place for the LGBTQ+ community to work and shop.
This was my mistake and I take full responsibility.
Mark Pahlow, owner of Archie McPhee”

@openvibe.social What is this weird box that’s showing up when I compose a reply? Also, it would be great if my preferences didn’t get wiped with every update.

Since I saw this on Fedi (with Mona), I know what you typed, but over here, I’m guessing it’s Openvibe that is “helping” by interpreting the element.

A screenshot of the post I’m replying to, reading “A Thing I Do Sometimes #12: When a situation calls for a heart emoji, I instead write the HTML element, ♥, even though I know it won't
decode into the symbol.” showing that something in the chain between OP and Openvibe translated the &hearts; that OP wrote into ♥.

Uh, okay, I guess?

@joshgondelman.bsky.social I’m a little behind on your newsletter, and just had to shout out this—well, marvelous—expression of my feelings about tomatoes.
