Five-minute actions, day 4

Scrolling through [twitter.com profile] openletterbot to find a letter to sign worked so well yesterday that I did it again. Maybe I'll make a daily practice of that as my minimum action, and then try to do something in addition on days when I can.

I'd hoped to send postcards with Kit today, but I seem to have either run out of blank postcards or stashed them somewhere extremely safe, so I ordered more. I already have a roll of postcard stamps. I'll pre-print some card fronts with images from http://tinyurl.com/angrypostcards (where I just updated the postcard back template to say "President Biden" and "Leader Schumer", yay!) and leave others blank for Kit to make art on. Making it a thing we do together will help me to do it; that roll of postcard stamps dates to 2017, when I clearly had good intentions but never quite got off my ass.

And I reserved a bunch of anti-racist picture books at the library, because our local library branch is finally open for book takeout! It's been closed for most of a year because pandemic and we've missed it so much. So on some future day, my action will be reading and discussing Let the Children March or Something Happened in Our Town or Where Are You From? with Kit. I'm setting myself up for success!
