S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Beverly is an excellent moral compass.
One of the Mexican food carts near my house was doing a $1 street taco special for Cinco de Mayo, and while the general US celebration of CDM get some side-eye from me in light of what marking the actual occasion of the Battle of Puebla, I really can't argue with delicious $1 tacos. I rationalize that, you know, I would have bought the tacos even if it wasn't a holiday!
My ballot is due 5/19 and I really need to sit down and go through the whole thing. It been a very extensive local primary in Portland Metro, and I haven't had any damn spoons to spare for following the election. Notably all the of the library buildings are shuttered for quarentine, but the libraries are also accessible places to drop off your ballot. There are 22 library branches all over Metro, so that's a big impact. We're all hoping it doesn't affect the voter turnout -- that maybe instead, because everyone's sheltered, they'll actually look at their ballot and drop it in the mail!
I will probably drop mine off at the Elections building dropbox, but it's a little comforting knowing I have enough time to stick it in the mail, too.

OK, this might sound crazy, but: I'm so bored of my house,
I assure you: it does not sound crazy.

I have two full size scentsy burners and two small plug in ones in the bathrooms. I am currently in love with this one, but no other bathroom, so no need. [link]

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
esse, you can drop your ballot in the 24 book drop of at least some of the Multnomah libraries; the county's ballot dropsite page has a list. I really appreciate the fact that Oregon makes it easy to vote!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I need some advice: I've been sewing masks, and I started doing them to donate, and I've made some for friends and just charged them for the materials plus shipping, because it feels weird to charge for something that's for health and safety.
I made a kid-sized one for the daughter of one of my friends -- I was experimenting a bit with the sizing, but it seems like it worked out well -- and she posted a photo on Facebook, and one of her friends asked if I'm selling them. I know that, if I say yes, then a bunch of her other friends will ask, too. And I'm happy to make them, and I know that mine are better fitting than a lot of the others I've seen on Etsy and stuff like that, and there aren't too many kid-sized masks anyway. My friend said that they're talking about requiring the kids to wear masks when they go back to school in the fall.
So, my dilemma: do I charge for them? And if so, how much? Materials are no more than $2-3. Charging a bit for them would help defray my fabric costs a bit, especially for the ones that I'm donating. But it still feels kind of wrong to charge for something to protect public health. My friend (and most of her friends) are in the Orthodox community in NJ, so they're surrounded by a lot of infected people, and they have a lot more kids than most people. (Like, six or seven per family isn't unusual at all.) And I just got a bunch of animal print fabrics that I ordered like a month ago, so I can do kid-friendly ones. Anyone have advice?
