Weekly Check In February 18

tanaquiThis week saw another horrific mass shooting in a school that's reignited the gun control debate.
Meanwhile, the details of the events leading up to the shooting are being used by Trump and his defenders/apologists as another stick to beat the FBI and discredit special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. On Friday, the investigation handed down indictments for 13 Russian nationals and 3 companies for criminally interfering with the 2016 election.
We've had just a couple of posts in the comm this week.

Feminist Wikipedia Takeover
District funds for the mid-terms
Housekeeping (the usual stuff)
Reminder that we now have a Friending Meme and a (locked) post where you can connect with others with live in the same area. We hope you find both of these posts useful!
We also have a suggestion post if there’s a topic that you’d like to see discussed but would like to ask the mods to look into. This can be anything from general information, or a how-to-do-a-thing, or something you may want to discuss as a community. Folks are welcome to post directly to the comm as always, but if you’re not comfortable/don’t have spoons, we can help too.
As we don't always get the time to pull things out of the suggestions post into their own separate posts, it may be worth checking every week (or tracking the post) to see if there's any new information you're interested in.
Also if you need help with tags, PMredbird, who is our tag guru. Both tassosss and I are very grateful for the help.
So, what have you all been up to in the last week or are planning to get involved in next week?
