EV travel story, kinda long 

Our oldest child moved to Burlington VT this summer, so we've made several trips. There's a long stretch between chargers in Manchester NH and Montpelier, and Electrify America had installed hardware at a strategic location in between, but hadn't activated it. We could make it, but others might not, and it would be dicey in winter.

This summer it became my daily ritual to check PlugShare to see if this location was activated, and for about 2 months the answer was no.

Finally I found EA's web contact form and asked them when this location would go live. Got a pleasant, noncomittal "thanks for interest, we can't predict".

Two days later, the location was live.

I take full credit!

Just visualizing someone at EA saying, "Hey Sarah, did we ever turn that location on?" "Oh, damn, there you go, it's on now."

So I have known my husband for like... over 20 years and he's never done visual arts and then in the last couple weeks he started on making these little animal sprites based on a challenge and oh my gosh he has such a good eye for them!!

It's supposed to be pixel art but he makes them all wiggly.

Spread this to black trans or non-binary people you know: the Marsha P. Johnson Institute is paying $500 directly to black trans or non-binary folks, with priority given to black trans women and those who have experience as sex workers or have been formerly incarcerated

Son obras de una artista afgana, que se llama Shamsia Hassani. Si las hacemos circular será como dar voz a ella y a todas las mujeres afghanas, que estan viviendo un infierno. Gracias RT

US pol, satire 

Reporter drops sarcastic tweet, then doubles down to find the degree of absurdity that can't be missed. You know how this goes.

I haven't been posting much because I've been traveling a lot.

Now I'm visiting my parents in Alabama for the first time in 1.5 years. I haven't been in Alabama during the summer for literally decades. And my parents live in a different house which is in a verdant neighborhood with a creek running through it, rather than the relatively dry pastureland of my childhood home.

Here's what I heard in my parents' backyard when I arrived in the evening.

My "take" on the residential schools: This was the first time ground radar was used on a residential school property, and it was a relatively small school. This is almost certainly just the first of many such stories.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission, run by the Canadian government, states at least 3,200 children died in residential schools, and the number is likely 6,000 or higher.
