Loved this! And no, my dining room table and chairs are NOT teak! They are cherry.

I remember buying shares of a cloud forest, selling Rainforest Crunch, and learning not to let the water run when brushing my teeth back in 9th grade, when I, too, had epic bangs. It totally felt like we were Doing Something even if we weren't.

Thanks for the inspiration to keep doing stuff. This is, indeed, a batshit-crazy time.

And congratulations on the finalist status!!

If you live in Massachusetts (my favorite Market Basket is the one in Reading), you might want to check out the Indivisible Massachusetts Coalition that supports all the local Indivisible groups and lists them ( see “Connect -> Find Your Group) https://indivisible-ma.org/

This perfectly captures what so many of us are feeling. I think President Musk's incredible (and evil) overreach had the unintended effect of motivating progressives to take action again because, as you said, what's the alternative?

Deleted long, kind of dumb comment I made (gotta stop doing that). What I meant to say is congratulations on your well deserved nomination and I remember, back in the day, going to the store and in the cookie aisle there was sign after sign that said NO PALM OIL. Don't see them much these days...oh well. Any form of resistance actually helps. There, that's better.
