1. We’re 5/6 of the way through the seemingly endless slog of the fall.

2026 midterms: absolutely astonishing results. Just amazing. The result of so much hard work by organizers on the ground in deep red states and powered by collective fury. I’m so proud of all the people who made this happen.
May Mamdani only be the first of many people who are good at their jobs, good at communicating their work, and dedicated to the lives and health of the people they work for.
To hell with this presidential administration and every single corrupt and complacent tool who helped him take power and grift from this country.

1. Hard as it is to believe, my ME/CFS is only mild-somewhat moderate. This former athlete is severe and my God it’s bleak. I feel so deeply for her, this speaking out is truly going to cost her. I know because it would cost me and my price is measured in days and weeks for overextendjng myself. My life is different and difficult enough going from a recreational athletic life to what it changed to now, first with chronic pain and then CFS: The Olympic sprinter now bedbound for 22 hours a day

It’s been a rough week for me medically, I’ve been totally miserable.
BUT!
Thanks to everyone’s help (here, Bluesky, Mastodon, email regulars), early last week, I placed a BIG second set of orders to feed 10 more families for more than 1 week. We’ve been tracking the TWENTY EIGHT shipments. Most have arrived, a few went astray so we’re following up on the ones needing to be reshipped, and the weirdness w/the PO claiming they couldn’t deliver when the front step was right there where it always is(!!), etc. My contact, D, has been game through all of it. He’s fielding these hundreds of lbs of pantry and canned foods to organize and distribute to the Red Shirt community. He’s working on getting it all organized and confirming receipt of everything before he distributes.
He’s sent a few pictures, and it’s looking good!
I have a *little* money left to send a few more essentials but I have to let him get this distributed first, I don’t want to break him! I’d love if we could get them through the winter but I know fall has only started. Still, getting their pantries full for a couple-few weeks is meaningful and I couldn’t have done this without y’all. I’m waiting to make sure everything gets to the destination before I share our total food buys <3
