Detritus stamped to attention beside Vimes and his salute clanged smartly off his helmet.

"What we doin' now, sir?"

"We can pack up now, I think. All the lads have joined up?"

"Yessir!"

"You told them it wasn't compulsory?"

"Yessir! I said, 'It ain't compuls'ry, you just gotta,' sir."

"Detritus, I wanted volunteers."

"'sright, sir. They volunteered all right, I saw to that."

Terry Pratchett, Jingo

In our final week of shows we all came down to the theatre one night to take group shots from any major ensemble scenes in full costume, to make sure we could all appreciate the fully-lit efforts of the costume team for years to come.

This was our biggest group - the Beggars in Paris. It's still only about half of our cast. The full cast were genuinely never all in the same room at the same time!

The people whose work is caring for this mountain are pretty darn awesome.

From the paid employees, to concession employees, to volunteers and interns, these folks make everything happen at this national park.

From plowing open roads for the summer, to checking on the backcountry toilets (maybe that should be “toilets”), there’s a lot of work that has to be done so we can recreate and relax.

Whether helping to open a visitor center or clean up a trail, volunteers and interns have gone that extra step to provide a positive experience for the visiting public.

To one and all of our caring workforce, thank you!

Women of the Emergency Unemployment Committee make sandwiches for needy children, December 22, 1931. Teachers of the Bureau of Education contributed $1,000,000 (more than $20 million in today's currency) in 1931 towards clothing and feeding needy schoolchildren. Trucks took the food and clothing from a central location to various schools in the city.

I thought about volunteering at my local library but not only do you have to provide your work history on the application but also two references. Then I guess if they like what they see the library HR department reaches out to you.

All that to do work for free??? 🤦‍♀️ Ridiculous. If I wanted to face that level of scrutiny and rejection I could just apply for actual paying jobs 😒 the animal shelter I volunteered at before didn't pull this shit.

TIL about Elevated Access, an organization of licensed pilots who are providing FREE air transportation to people who need abortion healthcare or gender-affirming healthcare.

Elevated Access has the full details of how it works for passengers at their website but the short form is:

You contact an abortion/gender-affirming care support organization (like the Midwest Access Coalition)

(If the organization doesn’t know about Elevated Access, and a ~100-600 mile direct flight might help you get access to the healthcare you need, then let the support organization know about Elevated Access!)

The organization works with Elevated Access to find a pilot and schedule the flight

Elevated Access connects you and your pilot, and you arrange any final details.

You meet the pilot at a small airport (no TSA, no lines, and you don’t have to tell anyone why you’re there). Then you travel from your state with bans to a state where you can get your care.

These aircraft can cost ~$100~400/hr to operate but by FAA law, the pilots cannot receive compensation for these volunteer services. They’re just donating their time, abilities, money, and aircraft for the cause.

These aren’t commercial airline flights, they’re what’s called General Aviation, which means “small” planes and often private pilots. As a licensed pilot w/ about 200 hours flying time in this world I’ll just say that’s a GOOD thing. There are many more GA airports than big commercial hubs, so no matter where you’re located or where you need to go, chances are there’s a small airport within 20 miles. Think of it like a road trip but with a much better view :)
