It’s been a tough week in so many ways, I swear, it feels like some evil trillionaire is funding a think tank just to come up with twisted ways to make weeks tougher. But thank you so much to those of you who signed up on our Giving Circles page over at The States Project. If you missed our last post, we’re trying to help flip some vulnerable seats so that we can finally enact some sensible gun control. It has been overdue for much too long. I mean, those aren’t even the right words, because “overdue” implies that there was a time when our current laws were ever ok when we all know they never were. If you are interested in starting your own circle and getting some of your friends and family to put a little money where their thoughts and prayers are, you can do that here. And definitely check out Wednesday’s post for more info.
I hope that, even with all of the heavy news we had to take in, you also experienced one or two moments of lightness or brightness that lifted your spirit up out of the bottoms of your boots and closer to the sun. Here’s a little treat to start your weekend with a smile. And if you’re still at work, nothing would bring me greater delight than the idea that you secretly watched it on your office computer while you pretended to work for 22 minutes. Joy is not a luxury, it is a necessity.
Friday. Finally.
