Crawl out of the crypt, sweetheart. October is over, and November would like a word. Dump the remnants of that pumpkin spice latte down the sink, crack open the apple cider, and give the giant Home Depot skeleton in your yard something useful to do. Have they voted? Do they have a plan?

It’s election week, and everyone loves an endorsement. I’ll be throwing our considerable institutional weight behind going outside, looking at art, and spending an evening somewhere you can’t refresh a results map. Lastly, if you feel unsafe going to the polls, make a plan to go with some friends; there’s safety in numbers, and if you need company, just let us know.
