The moment she heard about the charity event, she instantly talked with Eli and her parents about attending. For as long as she could remember, the Baileys were ardent philanthropists. Ready to donate to any charity and organization, especially those that helped the greater good. So it'd been a no-brainer when they all enthusiastically agreed to attend. Plus, it was nice to have a night with Elijah while his parents watched after the girls. Donned in a royal blue dress with some gold and pearl accessories and her hair curled and slightly pinned up, even taking advantage to wear heels to add some more height to her otherwise shorter stature, the woman had equally been spending time with her partner while also making sure to mingle. Going around the room and chatting with other guests, including some of the museum's biggest patrons and benefactors. At some point in the night, she had noticed her cousin and made sure to find a time to see her. However, what she hadn't expected was for Yasemin to be with Sage. Granted, the blonde had informed her about their shared connection through Asher. However... This certainly seemed like more than just two people who were mutually connected through the same person, and that took her back a tiny bit. Aslihan had been trying to wrap her mind around it all when she ended up spotting Sage again, sans her cousin. "Sage, hi," she said. Smiling warmly at the other, though her mind still running with questions and confusion. "You look really lovely."

FRANKLIN D ROOSEVELT

Allées Du Président Franklin Roosevelt Toulouse, France

ship and let ship but screaming “GIRL LEAVE HIM” to urself every time it crosses ur path

I’ve been reading new Magic Tree House books and I have to say, I love the continuity in them. Revolutionary War on Wednesday was released in 2000. To The Future, Ben Franklin was released in 2019. When Jack and Annie see George Washington in the latter, he references their meeting in the former and wonders if they are the same children.

the stranger before The Stranger…

Holy crap, I didn't think Biden would be able to get the Climate Corps established without Congress. This is SUCH fantastic news.

--

"After being thwarted by Congress, President Joe Biden will use his executive authority to create a New Deal-style American Climate Corps that will serve as a major green jobs training program.

In an announcement Wednesday, the White House said the program will employ more than 20,000 young adults who will build trails, plant trees, help install solar panels and do other work to boost conservation and help prevent catastrophic wildfires.

The climate corps had been proposed in early versions of the sweeping climate law approved last year but was jettisoned amid strong opposition from Republicans and concerns about cost.

Democrats and environmental advocacy groups never gave up on the plan and pushed Biden in recent weeks to issue an executive order authorizing what the White House now calls the American Climate Corps.

“After years of demonstrating and fighting for a Climate Corps, we turned a generational rallying cry into a real jobs program that will put a new generation to work stopping the climate crisis,” said Varshini Prakash, executive director of the Sunrise Movement, an environmental group that has led the push for a climate corps.

With the new corps “and the historic climate investments won by our broader movement, the path towards a Green New Deal is beginning to become visible,” Prakash said...

...Environmental activists hailed the new jobs program, which is modeled after the Civilian Conservation Corps, created in the 1930s by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a Democrat, as part of the New Deal...

Lawmakers Weigh In

More than 50 Democratic lawmakers, including Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, had also encouraged Biden to create a climate corps, saying in a letter on Monday that “the climate crisis demands a whole-of-government response at an unprecedented scale.”

The lawmakers cited deadly heat waves in the Southwest and across the nation, as well as dangerous floods in New England and devastating wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui, among recent examples of climate-related disasters.

Democrats called creation of the climate corps “historic” and the first step toward fulfilling the vision of the Green New Deal.

“Today President Biden listened to the (environmental) movement, and he delivered with an American Climate Corps,” a beaming Markey said at a celebratory news conference outside the Capitol.

“We are starting to turn the green dream into a green reality,” added Ocasio-Cortez, who co-sponsored the Green New Deal legislation with Markey four years ago.

“You all are changing the world,” she told young activists.

Program Details and Grant Deadlines

The initiative will provide job training and service opportunities to work on a wide range of projects, including restoring coastal wetlands to protect communities from storm surges and flooding; clean energy projects such as wind and solar power; managing forests to prevent catastrophic wildfires; and energy efficient solutions to cut energy bills for consumers, the White House said.

Creation of the climate corps comes as the Environmental Protection Agency launches a $4.6 billion grant competition for states, municipalities and tribes to cut climate pollution and advance environmental justice. The Climate Pollution Reduction Grants are funded by the 2022 climate law and are intended to drive community-driven solutions to slow climate change.

EPA Administrator Michael Regan said the grants will help “communities so they can chart their own paths toward the clean energy future.”

The deadline for states and municipalities to apply is April 1, with grants expected in late 2024. Tribes and territories must apply by May 1, with grants expected by early 2025."

I just remembered I had a dream where there was a new chess piece that had really insane mechanics that included mechanics for being able to move up to 32 spaces (a regulation chessboard is 8x8 spaces.)

it was a bust of benjamin franklin's head that was allowed to move x number of spaces based on the types of pieces that were in the first 16 rows on front of it (a regulation chess board is 8x8 spaces.)

different pieces had different values when it came to calculating the score that decided how many spaces the piece could move, but it was widely agreed to be the most powerful piece due to not only it's wide range of movement, but also being able to clear out all trees on the board within its movement range (there are no trees on a regulation chess board.) and grant you resource tokens for each tree destroyed.
