Check In 1 August

[tanaqui]

I hope everyone is doing well and that the heat/wildfires/other weather issues have eased up. It's been quiet in the comm since the last check in, but we have one new post that's still relevant.

Help Striking Miners In Alabama

Don't be shy of making your own posts about any issues and actions you think the comm should know about, or dropping some information into a comment to our sticky post if you'd like the mods to do it. And you can always use our tags to check for any ongoing actions or resources relevant to the issues you care about.

Meanwhile, use our poll (behind the cut) to tell us what you've been doing in the last few weeks and tell us in comments what you plan to do next.

Hi all. Things have been a bit busy for me around here. Not travel-wise but I've just had kinda a lot going on. I'm going on a mini-vacation in about a week. I'm going to spend some more quality time at my parents' place, while my landlord and his crew install central air in my apartment. They're actually going to install it for the entire building, and I'm told I need to be out of their way. It'll be awesome when the work is completed though. We've had radiator heat ever since this building first opened, which was 2004. The constant clanging of the pipes drove all of us nuts, so our landlord made the right decision. I'll of course have my Mac with me, and will be keeping tabs on all things Dreamwidth.
