Grover Reads the News Podcast

Hi there. Today is Wednesday, November 19th and this is my final update with Grover Reads the News for now. I hope you’ll have a listen or a read through as I sign off this past year of updates with all of you.I’ve Been Quiet Because I’ve Been Making the Stay or Go WorkbookI co-authored a workbook with my wife, Nova Wehman-Brown, to help others decide if leaving the US is right for them and create an exit plan just in case you need it. It’s called Should I Stay or Should I Go? A step-by-step workbook to help you decide if leaving the US is right for you. It has 61 colorful worksheet pages guiding the reader to name their priorities and longings, assess where they might live and how they might do it, determine their thresholds for leaving given changing conditions, and determine what needs to be resourced to root down and stay where you are now. It’s available now at the StayorGoWorkbook.com or anywhere you read e-books. Stay connected: Subscribe to You’ve Got MailThank you to EACH AND EVERY ONE of you who subscribed and shared Grover Reads the News and especially to the paid supporters who invested to offset the costs of making this podcast. I’m not done with the type of responsive and community-invested communications work I seem to keep making, I just need to shift out of regular production to allow for longer, slower work to emerge. Speaking of: I hope you’ll subscribe as a free subscriber to You’ve Got Mail (only Butch and Platonic) here on Substack.If you’re weary of paid subscriptions but would like to leave a tip in the tip jar, so to say, you can do that here via a platform called “buy me a coffee.”News sources used in this update and links to other news summaries I recommend are in the footnotes of Grover Reads the News SubstackThank you for being with me through this very, very intense year. Knowing you were out there and you also cared about our shared future helped me get through my days. I’m rooting for you. Until next time. Be well. This is a public episode.

Grover Reads the News is a short news summary of four news topics created two times a week. This is our inaugural episode. You can Subscribe to receive the full news summary and the option to hear single digests of single-news topics at GroverReadstheNews.Substack.com.The news topics this day include:  information about security preparations for voting in the US today a Global Conflicts update from Israel and Gaza US Domestic news about draught news about ancient tadpolesWhat we’re living through — as a nation and a world — is intense. And so many of us have survived and endured quite a lot of change, grief, and loss over the last five years. We are inundated with information and often overwhelmed. I believe we absolutely need to rest, take care of ourselves and focus on the people and commitments that are absolutely top priority for us. And I also believe that to live in a world with shared decision making and to be resilient personally, locally, and globally, we need to take in some of the context we are living through as it happens. We don’t have to face it alone. We can do it together.
