Hello all.
I’m breaking with ordinary LD subject matter, such as it is, to run a public service announcement on behalf of someone dear to an LD reader. And we are nothing if not a community of compassionate people.  I’m going to post the note she wrote me yesterday in its entirety, along with [...]

* Now with fundraising thermometer, below.
If you’ve been watching the news, you know that Maine needs our help.
The same campaign of fear-mongering and misinformation that helped remove marriage equality in California is being waged in Maine. All the way down to the exact same ads promoting the exact same lies (see the Box Turtle Bulletin posts: [...]

And I couldn’t agree more with it. (Statement’s after the photo below; first a little context.)
