Reminder that we 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.

Also if you need help with tags, PM redbird who is our tag guru. Both tanaqui and I are very grateful for the help.

I feel like a wimp checking 'sent a letter/postcard/fax/email' but actually this week they went to my senators, my representative, my state representative, my state senator, and my state's governor. (And hey, my governor did what I asked. So soon after that I'm sure it was already in the works, but hey, it never hurts to have them hear what you want even if they're already in progress!)

Yay! Yeah, I do most of my communicating with Resistbot, so I sometimes feel inadequate checking just that box too. Kudos for getting in touch with all your reps though, that's great.
