You just have to know how. This from Philly DSA for Bernie:
Surprising no one, Bernie Sanders
did not get the New York Times editorial board
endorsement (which
went to someone called “Klobarren”) and CNN’s debate
moderators weren’t
singing his praises, either. We’re not bothered, though, because
Bernie received a much more important endorsement: a working-class
swing voter in East Kensington who spent forty minutes talking to
Steve and Leslie during our January 4 canvass.

Singing at Two Upcoming Events
Tomorrow night I'll again be taking part in the open mic portion of Philadelphia's Erotic Literary Salon, as I've done every month (save one) since last March. This time I'll be performing my parody of Nick Lowe's "Cruel to Be Kind."
On Friday the 31st of January, I'll be first up at the Philly for Bernie Variety Show Fundraiser, starting at 6 at The Field House. I'll be performing a couple satirical antiwar songs from Fred Stanton's 1969 album Hey, Hey, LBJ.

Representing at the Women's March on Philadelphia
I spent some time today at the Women's March on Philadelphia. Below are pictures of the sign I carried. Reactions to the serious side were mixed. Some people seemed to be bothered by it but others said things like "Thanks for your support!"

From the Friendly Atheist at Patheos: Missouri Bill Would Jail Librarians Who Let Kids Check Out “Inappropriate” Books
It should be noted that "age-appropriate" is nothing but a pseudo-scientific euphemism for whatever attitude happens to prevail in any given community. Judith Levine discussed this in depth in her book Harmful to Minors: The Perils of Protecting Children from Sex.
