Detritus stamped to attention beside Vimes and his salute clanged smartly off his helmet.

"What we doin' now, sir?"

"We can pack up now, I think. All the lads have joined up?"

"Yessir!"

"You told them it wasn't compulsory?"

"Yessir! I said, 'It ain't compuls'ry, you just gotta,' sir."

"Detritus, I wanted volunteers."

"'sright, sir. They volunteered all right, I saw to that."

Women of the Emergency Unemployment Committee make sandwiches for needy children, December 22, 1931. Teachers of the Bureau of Education contributed $1,000,000 (more than $20 million in today's currency) in 1931 towards clothing and feeding needy schoolchildren. Trucks took the food and clothing from a central location to various schools in the city.

In our final week of shows we all came down to the theatre one night to take group shots from any major ensemble scenes in full costume, to make sure we could all appreciate the fully-lit efforts of the costume team for years to come.

This was our biggest group - the Beggars in Paris. It's still only about half of our cast. The full cast were genuinely never all in the same room at the same time!

Cute date idea:

You walk into my place, I pin you up against the wall by your throat and gently rub your Clit with my other hand, whispering in your ear all the filthy things I’m going to do to you.

Watch your eyes roll back and your pussy drop down your thigh.

I thought about volunteering at my local library but not only do you have to provide your work history on the application but also two references. Then I guess if they like what they see the library HR department reaches out to you.

All that to do work for free??? 🤦‍♀️ Ridiculous. If I wanted to face that level of scrutiny and rejection I could just apply for actual paying jobs 😒 the animal shelter I volunteered at before didn't pull this shit.

TIL about Elevated Access, an organization of licensed pilots who are providing FREE air transportation to people who need abortion healthcare or gender-affirming healthcare.

Elevated Access has the full details of how it works for passengers at their website but the short form is:

You contact an abortion/gender-affirming care support organization (like the Midwest Access Coalition)

(If the organization doesn’t know about Elevated Access, and a ~100-600 mile direct flight might help you get access to the healthcare you need, then let the support organization know about Elevated Access!)

The organization works with Elevated Access to find a pilot and schedule the flight

Elevated Access connects you and your pilot, and you arrange any final details.

You meet the pilot at a small airport (no TSA, no lines, and you don’t have to tell anyone why you’re there). Then you travel from your state with bans to a state where you can get your care.

These aircraft can cost ~$100~400/hr to operate but by FAA law, the pilots cannot receive compensation for these volunteer services. They’re just donating their time, abilities, money, and aircraft for the cause.

These aren’t commercial airline flights, they’re what’s called General Aviation, which means “small” planes and often private pilots. As a licensed pilot w/ about 200 hours flying time in this world I’ll just say that’s a GOOD thing. There are many more GA airports than big commercial hubs, so no matter where you’re located or where you need to go, chances are there’s a small airport within 20 miles. Think of it like a road trip but with a much better view :)

In Israel, we're slowly seeing the country emerge from one of the darkest times since the Holocaust. Evacuees are returning to their homes in the South as the threat from terrorists in Gaza is being eliminated. The transformation from darkness to light is reflected in much of last week's news. The dark days of displaced Israeli families have been made a little brighter thanks to donations and kind hosts. A wounded Fauda TV star has been able to see the light of day after being discharged from hospital.  A Hamas terrorist emerging from a dark tunnel shaft with a bomb was seen just in time. And from the dark despair after seeing Hamas murder his wife, a brave, stateless Bedouin and his nine children can have a brighter future as permanent residents of Israel. The usual weekly Israeli medical breakthroughs give brighter prospects for ALS and PTSD sufferers, heart patients, and pregnant mothers in Brazil. The winter sun is shining on Israeli agricultural innovations with climate-resistant seeds, plant propagation breakthroughs, and sun-dried tomatoes on the vine. Meanwhile, Israeli technology is revolutionizing the taking of photos in poor light. Finally, Israel celebrated some shining sporting results; a 2,000-year-old unique stone box, found near the ruins of the Temple in Jerusalem, is now seeing the light of day; and an Israeli fashion designer played the Israeli National anthem Hatikvah in New York, to accompany the showing of his Autumn collection, aptly entitled "Illumination of Hope".  Let's hope that the rest of the world also "sees the light". The photo (TY Sharon) is of an illuminated Jerusalem street during the Shaon Horef (Winter Noise) festival.
