I'm always worried what I can and can't say about this stuff online now that I'm not just involved, but VERY involved, but I think this is important enough to post about.
At last night's city council meeting, with a 5 to 2 vote, Duvall City Council voted to put up a Pride Display replacing the one removed back in July.
It's been eight months of back and forth, policy creation, comission creation, and the work of many people within the city government and concerned citizens, and a lot of blood sweat and tears.
Politics is glacial. Nothing moves quickly. But it moves. Sometimes slowly, but deliberately. And much like glaciars, it can carve out mountains given time.
I've often said if you don't like something your government does, you have to get involved. And sometimes you have to help make that change.
If you want change, get involved. And if you have the patience and the drive, you can move mountains.
So I got the job.
But some caveats: It's very freelance, doesn't start for a while, doesn't pay till way later in the year, and I can't really talk about it. But it's a foot in a very big door, in a job market where all I'm getting are slammed doors. I'll take it.
I'll talk more about it, when I can. :)
I just got two calls from a number that shared my phone number's first three digits, which has lately always been a spoofed number for a spam call.
The name on the number said Garfield Watson.
So even if the spoofy number didn't give it away, I'd know something was up with it because Garfield hates Mondays and wouldn't make calls then.

Yet again, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy still has a job in an election year. WHY has he not been replaced? Now closing mail processing hubs in Nevada and Wyoming. Mail in ballots from NV trucked over the Sierra Nevada mountains to California to be processed means delays and lack of confidence in vote counting.
