Story Corps- A Good Man: A man raised in a strict, religious home talks about what it was like to reconnect with his siblings years after their dad kicked him out of the home for being gay.

This is really dear and good. (And horrifying in places, because while it isn't super graphic, the siblings natal household was very abusive.) (But it's really dear and good.)

Events in solidarity with Charlottesville are, in some places, continuing Monday or Tuesday - especially in smaller towns and more rural areas. I noticed between checking last night and checking this morning, several more events go up on the Indivisible register.

A link to Indivisble's search widget for finding an event near you.

So if you couldn't find one yesterday or even earlier today, and you haven't been able to register one yourself for any of the myriad of reasons that might be so (if you have been able to I figure you're pretty busy right now).

Feel free to take another look. Some places are slower off the starting line than others, and some groups hold more than one event at more than one time!

EDIT: I mention this the way I do because one of the things that happens to me with my OCD is that I'll set weird arbitrary time boundaries on things, and then sometimes I get confused and think they're real. So I've got to remember they're not. And remind myself they're not.

EDIT II: And also because um. I've been working very hard to get myself to a space where I can be in situations more crowdy than "two employees and two fellow customers in the small discount grocery" and I think I maybe am doing well enough to manage a vigil. Or at least to. Make the attempt.
