An Additional Note: If you live in the United States, the leaders of your federal government are deliberately making choices to weaponize the current shutdown. This choice is horrific and targeted. People will go hungry. Children will go hungry. Call your representatives. Make your voice heard. This heinous weaponization of people's ability to put food on the table is pure villainy. Here at Notes from the Oracle, we know what you do with monsters--you battle them, however you can. As such, we found our local food bank using the link below and made a donation. Whether you are in need or able to support others, you can find a local food bank with the help of Feeding America. And remember, be impertinent everyone.
