Giving Up On Giving Up: Check-In Post #2

[nanila]

Hello Fine Crew Members,
I meant to post this yesterday; my apologies that it's a day late. How are you doing on your Giving Up On Giving Up?

This week was very busy at work, so I mostly expressed my determination not to give up through the medium of donations. I gave to a friend who's raising money for the UK charity Shelter, which helps homeless people and those trapped in substandard housing. I gave to another person who's crowdfunding their art. And I bought a ticket for a friend who wanted to attend an event but couldn't afford it. I also kept up with the news [sigh] and tried not to bang my head on the desk too much.

Here's hoping you've had some successes, however small, as well!

My middle schooler didn't get to walk out yesterday due to school being closed for snow. :(

Oh, I'm sorry about the missed opportunity. Good on them for wanting to do it.

I've been writing postcards through Postcards to Voters. I've also looked up the Democratic candidates running in the town I grew up in (very red, compared to my current blue state) and am looking for ways to support them.

That's some excellent action! I hope you find viable methods for supporting those candidates.
