Holy crap, it's been two years since the last arranged holiday card exchange? I thought I only missed one. Oops. [ETA: No, I figured wrong. It was just the one last year. Anyway...]

Mutual aid request for a friend of Karl's--he was shy about posting, but as you all know, I'm a pain in the butt (who is already in for the most that I personally can, so this isn't just a bad-cop thing) I know we all probably have a lot of hard-luck in our lives and in our feeds right now and it's NFG, but it would mean a lot to me to see our community come together, as we have before. As my boss says, it's not the *amount* but the solidarity--although I'm sure they want the money, too, obviously. But it all adds up, is my point. [link]
If you care about TPS, tell Congress we can welcome the Haiti-ans, even if they don't RSVP, using the link I've provided from what comes across my desk, here. [link]
I just saw a post on FB saying that our own Bridget Striker has passed. Gutted if so - she was the very first person I met at the San Francisco F2F lo these many years ago.
Per a family member it seems she had a stroke, following a brief hospitalization. Too soon.
