Thank you for subscribing to this newsletter – I truly appreciate your readership. Before we get started, I have a favor to ask: If there's anyone you know who you think might be into this kind of thing, forward it to them and help me spread the word!
Me and three strangers registering voters in Nevada in 2016.
Impose a Self Tax On Political Complaining. Between this past weekend and the midterm elections on November 6th, I'm holding myself accountable with a new rule: I can't post any complaints, snarky jokes, or opinions on social media until I have done 15 minutes of calls or canvassing that same day.

If you're interested in joining me with this pledge, here are a couple resources for where you can make calls:

Swing Left | Take Action
The Beto O'Rourke 'Beto Dialer'
Flippable Action Center

I just find that it's really easy for me, personally, to confuse the time and energy I spend being outraged on moving the needle. It doesn't. So, I'm doing this to remind myself to actually do something as well. Whadya think?
Iowa and Illinois have a yearly TUG OF WAR across the Mississippi River. What a fun thing! More stupid stuff like this, please.
Until Jimmy Carter sold it in 1977, all U.S. Presidents had access to a Presidential Yacht, the U.S.S. Sequoia. The boat was designed by someone named John TRUMPY Jr.
Moby has made a selection of 150 of his songs available for content creators to use for free on a website appropriately called MobyGratis.
Hot damn do I love this George Washington Carver sketch from The Astronomy Club. Rarely do you see textbook game and heightening combined with great acting. Throw in the fact that it actually teaches you about science (and specifically Black inventors). I'm beside myself with peanut butter and jealousy.
Y'all Peanut Butter and JEALOUS.
Stop everything you're doing and make sure EVERYONE YOU KNOW IS REGISTERED TO VOTE. Share this link where people can check and register (today is the last day in many states).

When you're done with that make a plan to canvas or call with Swing Left. They're hosting some fun stuff in Pasadena this Saturday.
October is a great month for fun typeface themes and illustrator Dayna Bowers has a really fun one for ya:
Bone Zone's capitals are all boney, but the lower case letters are just a fantastic handwritten typeface. The font is being given away to people who follow Dayna on Instagram (which is a no-brainer).
I keep getting served Instagram ads for this slim leather wallet and it has wormed its way into my brain. I want one.
Fall is trying its damnedest to interrupt Southern California's endless summer and it's making me think about wool socks. Dang, these hiking socks from Socstop look comfy!
Holy shit. The James Bond Aston Martin DB5 from LEGO looks incredible. It even has a rotating license plate bc JAMES BOND.
With Halloween coming up, it's always good to remember safety. If you do have an accidental scare and slip, Grabbit & Spirello (via this ol' Tremendosaur sketch) is here to help.
Thanks for reading! I'd love to get your feedback. Favorite segment? What's working? What's not working? What do you want to see more of?
