First of all, thank you to the anonymous person who kindly gifted 6 months of paid account features to the comm, in support of us and Dreamwidth. It's very much appreciated by the mods to know that we're appreciated by the members!

The Trump campaign and its allies have had more of their ridiculous law suits slapped down by the courts, while violence by MAGA types seems to be stepping up. I hope you're all safe and that you all stay that way. At the same time, with COVID-19 cases and deaths ramping up again, I hope you're also all keeping safe and well on that front (and able to resist family pressure for inappropriate winter-time gatherings).

It's been fairly quiet in the comm since the last check-in, but obviously there's still work to be done on the Georgia run-off elections. See our last Check in post for actions.

Here are the new posts in the comm since last check-in:

Letters And Emails: Ongoing University Of California Labor Dispute
Action: Write A Letter Opposing Drilling In ANWR (Time Sensitive) (It's probably too late for most people to act on this one.)

So what have you all been up to since the last check in and what you are planning to do in the next couple of weeks?

Been acting as unofficial counseling therapist for a neighbor/friend who's been going through tough times. This has been ongoing, but I *think* something is about to be done about it but don't know for certain. He's a great guy and I want to help him out to the best of my ability, but I am not a therapist and I have been telling him that and so have others. He tells us he likes his therapist and other doctors, or at least that's what he is telling most people close to the situation. But he tells me a lot more than that.

Also thank you anonymous person who gave us paid time on here! I've also gotten some paid time at my journal, so I know how that feels. Currently not, but twice in the past.
