Clive, my friend, retired colleague and overall ultra-nice guy is walking from his current residence near Zurich to Plymouth where he was born.
During this 1400+ km trip he is raising money for the Memory Matters Foundation. This foundation raises awareness, provides vital dementia services, and supports families facing dementia. 🧠
He is on his 11th day and crossed the border to France two days ago. In case you see a bloke with silver hair near Besançon, treat him well and send him my regards.
In case you are willing and able to contribute to this good cause, you could send Clive a donation and good spirits via the below link.

Boosts are appreciated. Thanks a lot!

#RockportME #BookSale - #RockportPublicLibrary
March 28 @ 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
"Like the daffodils and tulips, the first Friends of the Rockport Public Library Book Sale of the year is a beloved harbinger of spring. This year’s event will be held in the Rockport Library’s lower level on Friday and Saturday, Mar. 27 and 28, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
"As always, tables will be filled with extraordinary deals on thousands of books, #CDs, #DVDs, #puzzles, and #audiobooks. Planning to buy a lot? Join the Friends of the Rockport Public Library for $20 and receive a purple tote to fill up with books at no additional charge. Refill the tote at book sales in June and September for only $10. If you already bought your tote in December, don’t forget to bring it back for your $10 refill.
"The Friends will have an especially large selection of puzzles, DVDs, and audiobooks at this sale, thanks to generous donations. Spring is also a great time to stock up on #GardeningBooks and #Crafting books (graduation and wedding season is just around the corner — time to make something special).
"All proceeds from the sale will benefit the Rockport Public Library. Only cash and checks are able to be accepted."

CW: TERFs, UK politics, positive
The Green Party of England and Wales have booted another TERF, risking another £90,000 loss in court for discrimination against someone for a legally protected belief.
"Leader of Green group claims party ban"
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2epgz9x182o
[CW: Transphobia, obviously]I've said it before, but it's always good to say it again. The Green Party are the only party who have the guts to actually kick TERFs out of their party, even in the face of unjust legal consequences.
It is a good day to donate to the Green Party: https://donatetothe.greenparty.org.uk
And they're currently the third biggest party in the UK by number of members, so it's also a good day to join the party, from only 50p per month: https://join.greenparty.org.uk

Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously headed for early success, but, rather, an ability to work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed. The more unpropitious the situation in which we demonstrate hope, the deeper that hope is. Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.

If a cause be good, the most violent attack of its enemies will not injure it so much as an injudicious defense of it by its friends.
Charles Caleb "C. C." Colton (1780-1832) English cleric, writer, aphorist

CW: Transphobia
Just learned that when the Green Party of England and Wales kicked a TERF out of their party (because they are the only political party who's actually had the guts to do that), the TERF took the Green Party to court over it because being a TERF is protected under the Equality Act (like religion), and the Green Party had to pay out £90,000 when they lost.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2dgd9d9503o
I would 10000000% pay £90,000 to get a TERF out of my political party.
Apropos of nothing, here is the page for donating to the Green Party of England and Wales without having to join: https://donatetothe.greenparty.org.uk/

Guillame Bucanus, French-Swiss Calvinist, considers relation between faith and chairty.
Faith is an act of receiving, while Charity is an act of giving and bestowing. Faith makes us the sons of God. Charity “tries” us, as to whether we be the sons of God.
In contrast, John Piper is saying that Jesus will ask how much bible reading you’ve done.
How can you demonstrate that you are a son of God?

Others, craven-hearted, said disparagingly, that “he threw his life away,” because he resisted the government. Which way have they thrown their lives, pray? — such as would praise a man for attacking singly an ordinary band of thieves or murderers.

Elijah Porter Barrows, Presbyterian minister, discusses slavery. One does not have to prove that every slaver was driven by individual animosity all day long. Revolting cruelty is the natural product of the system.
I had FB friends who were calling it a literacy program. Some call it a jobs program. Revolting?
How can you take pains to notice cruelty?

Daniel Tyerman, Congregational missionary, speaks of repentance of Manasseh (2 Chronicles 33), and Zaccheus (Luke 19). Conversion will be SEEN. The holy life is not cruel.
Do some see “oppression” and “cruelty” are just the overstated claims of Philistines seeking to undermine our civilization and way of life?
How can you seek a holy life that is free from sardonicism against concepts like cruelty and oppression?

At the upcoming Common Council meeting on Wednesday, July 10, elected officials will vote on whether the City of #Ithaca will opt in to Good Cause Eviction legislation.

Dear Fedizens,
I'm #training for my first full #Ironman #triathlon.
I'm absolutely #grateful to my wife, family and friends who fully support me along the way.This is why I decided to fundraise for the Ali Forney Center. AFC provides a stable home to #LBGTQ+ youths who face homelessness because of who they are.
Check out my journey to #IronmanCalifornia and, if you can, donate: https://fundraise.aliforneycenter.org/andrea-sboner
Thank you! Happy #Pride 🌈

Anyone have advice on how to find auctions related to progressive causes here on Mastodon? I have stacks of quilted pillows, checkerboard games, Advent calendars, etc that I’d like to donate to help raise funds. I knew how to find auctions on bird site but haven’t found any here yet - any recommendations?
Clarification - I’m looking for auctions others are hosting that accept donations
