"Where knowledge is a duty, ignorance is a crime." - Thomas Paine
I hate throwing things away, not so much because I cling to things, but because I cringe at wasting anything. I was compiling a list of local resources for myself when I discovered that SCARCE already has most of what I was looking for. Highly recommended!
Apart from the many things they themselves accept, they have a comprehensive reference page for other resources, including special recycling events and specialty drop-off resources.
The 2022 election cycle was delayed by the state legislature due to Trump delaying the census. The new primary will be on June 28, 2022. Petitions will be from January 13-March 14 with lower numbers of signatures required than in previous years.
The most immediate consequence is that the “Campaign Bootcamp” previously announced here has been postponed until August 31st. More details will be provided here as soon as the rest of the new schedule is worked out.
It’s really awkward to expect new candidates to start 7 months before petitions but if anyone is interested in getting involved this summer there will be plenty of opportunities. Thanks for your patience!
Our next general Membership Meeting will be held Monday, June 14th at 7:30 PM. The featured topic will be mental health resources in DuPage County.

This is not the time to subject yourself to unnecessary tutorials, but if you’re doing a lot of work with a particular tool and thinking “there must be an easier way”, you might want to browse these. I’ve had “make tutorials” on my back burner job list for some time, but there are tons of tutorials already out there; it’s just a question of finding one that’s suitable. I’m just getting started and haven’t vetted these thoroughly, but I’ve at least looked at them, and they’re not awful.
And don’t forget to click “Help” on the main menu of whatever you’re fighting with using! I still forget to do this before embarking on a laborious geeky search.
This weather is treacherous so please be careful and think about getting Yak Traks for walking on ice even to your car in your driveway.(essentially tire chains for your feet). They have saved my posterior and bones many a time. You can get them from Ace Hardware: https://www.acehardware.com/departments/tools/workwear-and-safety-gear/safety-and-work-footwear/8222994.
