Didn’t know. Felt like I wasnt seeing them until recently

Taking off the pedals and training wheels of bikes and selling them to kids.

Wish I thought of that

U.S. here. I “donate” blood regularly to Vitalant. I enjoy the way they do it. You get “points” or often something free for donating (shirts, your name in their sweepstakes to win something large, etc.). You can use the points to redeem gift cards or choose to “donate” the gift card amount back to the organization.

My thoughts: I think these organizations have more donors when they offer compensation, even small vs if they did not. I saw Red Cross offer a chance to win a PS5 once and I’m quite sure it caught some peoples attention and earned them more first time donors -> potential long-term donors.

Ive cosplayed a handful of times. Maybe 4 or 5? Elektra Netflix version was most fun as someone gave me their sparing sais and I found other Netflix Daredevils at the time to pose pics with and pretend to spar.

I was Momo from My Hero Academia. A generic agent from Psychopass. The gun prop i have is fun. It flashes and talks. Jealous now though as there are some that transform. It was cool when I found other characters from the show.

Lastly, I was a terrorist from Counter Strike. I had rubber knives, grenade, sunglasses and I drew a mustache for myself!

I havent cosplayed in a while though and havent been to any conventions lately

Yes!! Haha he is from JamesTown, CA. Humane Society of Tuolumne. We thought we were being clever :)

Been on a mystery kick lately too. Not much time to physically read so all audiobooks here. Recently finished “Holly” by Stephen King and “Listen for the Lie” by Amy Tintera. Both are great as audiobooks!

Tomorrow, I’m completing “Tell the Machine Good Night” by Katie Williams (SciFi… Just okay ". After I’m excited to move onto “Dungeon Crawler Carl”. I heard from many its one of best audiobooks ever!

1. The Long Way to A Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. Very easy to get into.

2. Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High is my go to. However there are so many other books that teach you how to connect with others.

I honestly loved Elemental and Encanto. Coco also solid but would be my third fav of the ones you listed.

I haven’t read a lot of romance novels honestly but I read 11/22/63 last year by Stephen King. At its core its a historical fiction (very long read, I did audiobook) but there’s a love story interwoven and I found it very romanic. The main protagonist Jake seems very average to me and his views on life and the world were very relatable. Just an English teacher trying to make a difference in the world.
