Save the US Post Office
Today is a day of action to support the United States Post Office. Here are some of the things you can do to support this: https://www.savethepostoffice.net/survey/save-the-post-office-remote-options/?
Someone on Twitter kindly posted the email addresses of the USPS Board of Governors. I CC'd Louis DeJoy himself. If you are staying in and can't protest at a post office, at least take a few minutes and write a letter to the Board of Governors:

Uncommon SF & Mysteries
After many decades of collecting, we're working to downsize.
I will be selling some rare books. These items include out-of-print books like Gene Wolfe's Plan[e]t Engineering & Andre Norton's Grand Master's Choice (both in very good condition). Will also be selling some rare old mysteries from my father's estate, which include some Dell "Mapback" books. And, when I can find it, a first edition of The Adventures of Baron von Munchausen.
I was going to do this on eBay, but eBay requires that I give them my phone number which I will not do. I took down an account I created in about 10 minutes. Instead, I'll do it through this blog.
Books for sale include (so far):
- Plan[e]t Engineering by Gene Wolfe, first edition
- Grand Masters' Choice by Andre Norton, ed., first edition
- Bridge of Birds by Barry Hughart, first edition
- Star Wars by "George Lucas," first edition
- Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, first edition
- history books
- computer books
- fiction (especially science fiction & fantasy)
- puzzles
- games
- misc kitchen equipment
- sleeper sofa (near a door you can drive to - no stairs)
If you live in the Pittsburgh area, you can pick up some things for free:
