BIPOC Book Fair rescheduled from November 23 to December 23 https://carlbrandon.org/events/

A friend of mine was recently in an exceptionally nasty car accident and woke up in the hospital two days later. His phone was destroyed in the accident and without it no one, not even he, could find his emergency contact phone numbers. (Of course he didn't know his friends' numbers. Who does, anymore? And accessing his contacts from a laptop would require 2FA by the destroyed phone.) So from now on he's going to carry those numbers on a piece of paper in his wallet. I will too!

I must confess I would have some difficulty with the transition, but I still think this is a good idea.
