If you’re still masking… thank you! It might feel lonely but you’re not alone. Many of us are still wearing masks and still trying to break chains of transmission. As the world falls apart…protecting your health and the health of those around you is paramount. It’s resistance and community care.

Banned Books Week is almost over! The Trump administration had at least 596 books removed from schools serving military families. Don’t forget to get out there and read some of the books they tried to keep off the shelves. Happy Banned Books Week!

There's a plan to pull voting machines from more than half the states five weeks before an election. No court. No legislature. One Cabinet secretary and a "national security" memo. Read this before someone tells you it's about safety. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

I saw an article about the Medicare bribe today, and realized I might be eligible. Sure enough, I went and looked at my bank account, and $90 from SSA was deposited today. I did my money laundering by promptly transferring it to my high-yield savings account. I had better not get a 1099 form.

It's Banned Books Week. My fellow librarians, listen carefully: your book displays should be almost exclusively writers who are alive. Yes, I know classic literature is also being banned, but most of those authors are dead. They aren't suffering financially from bans and challenges.

In my city you can vote in certain local elections if you own property in that district but are not an actual city resident. This is mainly for things like tax levies. Not sure if there is a citizenship clause.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

I was shown an example in a genealogy class. The census had a baby listed with her supposedly 40 something mother. The church record showed the baby with the correct mother, the teen daughter of the census mother, and a note about the illegitimate birth.

Big news: The family of Tierra Walker, who died after she couldn't get an abortion, is suing a slate of Texas actors in state court, including AG Ken Paxton. They say the state ban is unconstitutional. This is the first suit of its kind. 19thnews.org/2026/09/texa...

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton

The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”

Today in Mesa, Ariz., there was a memorial for a Sikh man killed while planting flowers around his gas station to remember 9/11 victims. Balbir Singh Sodhi was killed by a white man looking for a brown person to murder for 9/11. Other shootings and hate crimes would occur for similar reasons.

Our neighbor across the street seems to have her adult children moved back in with her. A lot of coming and going, but I finally figured out some of it is because they get Door Dash a LOT. Though there seem to be a lot of cigarette runs.
