Hungry for Change
In the last two or three months, I've had to try to become especially vigilant about collecting stray coins. Sebastian, always the joker, likes to find, say, a quarter, stick it in his mouth, wander up to a responsible adult and spit it out, just to show how subversive he is. On top of that, we moved into our (YES STILL) temporary apartment with a fair amount of collected change.
So to combat my election anxiety and malaise, I packed up my little money nibbler, the terrier and a hefty amount of change, and walked briskly to the bank to cash it in.
That money, which was literally sitting around, like so many choking hazards has gone to:
Mamas for Obama: A really interesting, galvanizing grass roots movement, placing television ads meant to catch the interests and concerns of mothers in swing states
Steal Back Your Vote: Anyone worried about voter suppression should absolutely read this completely upsetting Rolling Stone article or watch Robert F. Kennedy's appearance on the Rachel Maddow show.
and
The World Wildlife Fund: I "adopted" a Wild African Dog for the children.
Do I feel better?
Mildly.
But frankly nothing will really ease this rather singular angst before November 4th.
