Just a little (link) love: sheep judging edition

May 7, 2020

If you’d like to join me in helping Lakota families and/or rural libraries this year, please read this post. Over 6 weeks in 2019, we raised $2669.94 for the Lakota families, touching 27 lives. What can we do in 2020?

Current total: Lakota, $659.86; Rural libraries, $321.62.

How Baby comic hits the Mom thing precisely: “mothers are under inescapable pressure to perform to impossible standards.”

It’s nice that there are still good people out there.

Speaking of good, I couldn’t read the WaPo article that Abby linked to (over my limit?) but I did find another recent article confirming the Burnell Colton and his Lower 9th Ward Market is still helping their community even though he’s not being paid, so I also sent him a check to help out. If you also want to help a helper: Burnell’s Lower 9th Ward Market, 2036 Caffin Ave, New Orleans, LA 70117

Ana’s All The Hats resonated so strongly with me.

Does everyone have a favorite period of art? I just do not.

Why we’re staying home.

Since this all started I firmly believed we need to test test test. It’s not just for statistics, it informs actions. The folks in Groningen felt the same way and it looks like this is working out well. Most crucially, I think, they actually care about saving lives which is far more than I can say for the US government: “Herd immunity can never be a public health strategy. It can never be controlled, and it means people will die, and if you are not very careful a lot of people will die,” Friedrich said.

“It’s not a law that we’re all going to get infected. It’s just the consequences of our insufficient action to protect people.”
