In case this isn't clear to people, this is basically the actual congressional election. Whoever wins this is guaranteed to beat the republican. So if you want to vote, this is when and how you vote.

It's the sort of thing that favors party insiders, so I'm really baffled Stoney isn't running.

I think it's currently Joe Morrissey, Lamont Bagby, and Jennifer McClellan running

I definitely keep a “me” running list. It includes cafe lights for my porch, wreath supplies, and Harry Potter Illustrated books 4 & 5. I will happily buy presents for family that sends me a wish list and I do buy things during the year that scream so-and-so needs this item. But I’m not buying random shit just to surprise people with random shit.

Oof that's a shame, at 12 years old too damn.

No idea how often you see them or what kind of relationship you have with their parents, pretty tough to exert influence from afar though besides the other suggestion of sending them books and maintaining a positive influence as much as you can

To keep my job. I hate to say it but bit off more than I can chew with this job. I’m doing “well” and my boss reassures me, however I have this constant fear of being fired. I want stability for Christmas
