“Causes do matter. And the world is changed by people who care deeply about causes – about things that matter. We don’t have to be particularly smart or talented. We don’t need a lot of money or education. All we really need is to be passionate about something important; something bigger than ourselves. And it’s that commitment to a worthwhile cause that changes the world.”
― Steve Goodier

I’m Waiting

I’m waiting
to rememberthat there is more to today than a headline
that the lump in my throat is not forever
that my fellow Americans are still that
and when they (we) lose their health care and disasters go unrelieved and preventable disease is not prevented and wells are poisoned and two plus two no longer equals four
I will not rejoicebecause
today is more than a headline, and
the lump in my throat is concentrated fuel, and
my fellow Americans are just that, and
we will still fight for health care and disaster relief and disease prevention and clean soil air water and reality in all its forms, andthis timeline is the only one we have, so
I’m waiting.

It’s finally election week! That’s right, tomorrow is Election Day in the US, and if you haven’t already voted, it’s time to make your voice heard.
To find your voting and drop-off locations:
For my fellow Pennsylvania voters, here’s how to find your polling place, what to expect if you are a first-time voter, and more info.
(I’ve already voted absentee because I’m out of the country, but if you are in line tomorrow, I hope the Pizza to the Polls people find you!)
Do I think it’s ridiculous that voting takes place on a Tuesday and / or that it isn’t already a national holiday? I do! Still, it could be more complicated.
Do Astronauts Actually Vote from Space? Election Officials Explain
Astronauts do not have to miss out on voting just because they are on a mission on Election Day—they can do it from space! It happens with the help of a Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) system….
Believe it or not, voting from space has been a thing for nearly three decades. According to NASA, “astronauts have voted in U.S. elections since 1997, when the Texas Legislature passed a bill that allowed NASA astronauts to cast ballots from orbit.”
My absentee ballot was also a bit of a to-do, but hassle or not, it is an honor and privilege to share this democracy with you.
We matter. Vote!
“Every election is determined by the people who show up.”

On Queues, Transdimensional and Otherwise
Posted in Other, tagged #365Ways, #365Ways2024, genre fiction, inspiration, science, Thoughts on November 2, 2024| Leave a Comment »
Today is all about cake baking and other kitchen stuff. We needed a few ingredients like apples and eggs, which required a trip to the store, which in turn led to that age-old question: Why is our checkout line so slooooow? What is queuing theory anyway? And, inevitably, how would this affect procedure at a transdimensional transit hub?

Typing monkey would be unable to produce ‘Hamlet’ within the lifetime of the universe, study finds
“It is not plausible that, even with improved typing speeds or an increase in chimpanzee populations, monkey labor will ever be a viable tool for developing non-trivial written works,” the authors muse.
So human writer monkeys can rest easy. In case you were worried!
