scared

@deray said yesterday (before we saw the disaster) that the work continues, and Joe Hill told us "Don't mourn, organize," but I'm scared and I don't know where to start.

In the short term, I don't know whether to hunker down and try to save money, or splurge on the theory that the world is ending anyway.

I hope everyone reading this are decent people, but I will so fucking ban trolls or anyone who tells me I am being ridiculous.

Reading Wednesday

Most recently read:

So You Want to Be a Wizard, by Diane Duane. The book starts with twelve-year-old Nita fleeing bullies, taking refuge in a library, and finding the eponymous manual in with a series of books about careers, like "So You Want to Be a Pilot."

The book is fast-paced, and good, and has a strong sense of place; Nita and her friend Kit look for a stolen pen, which plunges quickly into high-stakes adventure, with advice from older wizards and some local trees, ( cut for possible spoilers )

Thanks to whoever suggested I read this.

Up next: the sequel, Deep Wizardry.

suggestions, please

Tomorrow is my birthday, and in the hobbit tradition, I would like to pick an anti-Trump organization to donate to. I'm thinking either directly political (I will probably increase my donation to the ACLU), or helping people who are likely to be hurt by Republican policies.

I am looking for recommendations, especially of organizations I might not already be aware of.

ETA: Yes, I'm interested in organizations anywhere in the US.
