Good Things Friday (164) and Link Love
April 15, 2022
1. HUZZAH. I was searching for a place to donate my old eyeglasses that are perfectly good but don’t feel comfortable on my face any longer and I kept striking out searching the Lion’s Club but Shep to the rescue! They found me this link for donation centers. They once needed glasses and were only able to get them through the Lions Club program so if you have old eyeglasses to donate this looks like a great way to do it.
This GoFundMe is for an organization that I’ve supported in the past doing really important work. I’m respecting their request not to state their name in relation to the GFM but I actually know the lawyer mentioned in the post and verified with them personally that this is for their organization. Update: Yay the organization is ok with being identified now. If you can donate to the Survivor’s Project, that would be really swell.
This GoFundMe is to keep the doors of Courage House, A Haven for Abused Women open. I donated directly to save them some fees.
Challenges this week: A lot. This week was a lot.
I’m really happy for FOGA who is finally getting a health issue taken care of.
ARTURITO AND ME. I grew up in a bilingual household so stories like this of either mispronouncing or translating words everyone knows one way even if it really was another makes me happy.
The Many Lives of Ke Huy Quan I have no time and I’m not ready to be in a theater but this is the first movie that’s tickled my interest enough to wish that I could!
Abbott Elementary is pretty great. Quinta Brunson Has A Hit. Better Yet, She Has A Plan.
Now We Are Six: On Reaching My Sixth Year of Blogging. I know One Sick Vet more from Twitter than because of blogging but they’re good company in the chronic illness club. I’m always in the worst clubs!
Holy moly. This is an old article but I hadn’t read it before. Experience: I was swallowed by a hippo
This PopTart Twitter thread is excellent.

Missed opportunity if the 82nd Airborne isn’t just attaching these guys on random jumps throughout the year. Think of all the confused 1SGs you could have on the green ramp. “What the hell is happening” pic.twitter.com/DYZbrZEOrH
