She is looking for socks and underwear. "She usually passes out supplies to unhoused people on skid row in LA, but has been doing emergency response. She just texted to ask for help getting underwear to hand out." Here is the link to her Wish List. Locally, one ALBB reader, @TellItLikeItIsLiz, let us know that her mom's house burned down (not in LA but elsewhere). This was in August, and we are just getting the GoFundMe to you.

Unite together as a beacon of light! Fire Show!" Middletown, NY's Christmas Caroling For A Ceasefire Day: Tuesday, December 17th, 2024 Time: 7pm Location: 16 James Street, Middletown, NY The organizers, Rally Middletown say: "As we indulge in holiday festivities, it’s hard to ignore the cognitive dissonance between our gaudy celebrations and the US government’s role in funding the attempted erasure of an entire population. "Bethlehem, the Palestinian city in the West Bank, is considered the birthplace of Jesus Christ. 'If Christ were to be born today, he would be born under the rubble and Israeli shelling.' Reverend Munther Isaac of Bethlehem’s Lutheran Church told Al Jazeera nearly a year ago today."

Things To Do, Shop and Eat In Beacon Guides 11/29/2024

Have we discussed the opening of Lyonshare Public House? The new/old Max's under totally different owners? The renovation of the restaurant is complete. ALBB went inside during their soft launch party and got pictures for you. Plenty of other people have been inside to dine and enjoy the ambience. Take a Peek > Days before Thanksgiving, the Beacon Community Kitchen put a call out for turkeys, saying that they normally receive lots of donations by now, but hadn't this year. Thankfully, the community delivered. ALBB reader @hey.itsshmack said: "I dropped off a donation at 9am, and they were already there cooking away! Truly a wonderful organization that's so dedicated to the community!" Read about more people and businesses who donate food any day of the year. Hope you had a nice holiday yesterday. Here is ALBB's Thanksgiving Message. BT Newsroom published a piece on the annual Day of Mourning that is recognized at Plymouth Rock. Watch it here.

However. Budget planning and debt is real, and more important than Retail Therapy. However. There is another reason to shop small this year: to squeeze for a ceasefire in Palestine and Lebanon and an arms embargo on Israel.

And Then It Was Gone...Things To Do, Shop and Eat In Beacon Guides 11/17/2024

If you wanted to walk into a shoe store to buy shoes, and you do it in the Fishkill Town Center, you will discover that if it's been a month or two since you've been, you will have missed your chance. Famous Footwear and the Regal Cinema movie theater are gone. Thanks to early October reporting from local radio station WPDH, this article at A Little Beacon Blog provides more explanation. Read Now > Business is bustling in Beacon. There is a lot of news to report. Even as we bring you business closure stories (like the movie theater and shoe store), business opening stories are hot on their heels. Take these two stories, because we already have followup articles to write for both of them. A reader wrote into A Little Beacon Blog, asking if Big Vinny’s & Donnoli was closed. A few days after the question, the eatery was boarded up. A few days after the boards went up, scaffolding went up. The answer to this question is here in this article. Then, the followup to this story that published last evening is in this newsletter below. After ALBB published, more answers came in. Meanwhile, happy shopping, eating and attending.

In Better News...Things To Do, Shop and Eat In Beacon Guides 11/08/2024

This week, you may have only allowed yourself to listen to calm music. To keep yourself regulated as you walk about town. On Tuesday Eve, ALBB put out a message about buckling up for an important roller-coaster ride, which now feels like the roller-coaster cars both soaring down the rails and off the rails. Some passengers have been ejected from their seats, and there are open wounds that need dressing. Some passengers flew out of their seats due to faulty buckles. Some passengers got flung into an entirely different ride  - The Gravitron - which is the one where you are up against a wall, cheeks being pulled behind your ears - stuck there defying gravity - as the room spins. We encourage you to read as much as you can while you're in your reflections - about Black women, about anti-racism learning spaces for white women led by Black women so that white women can be less dangerous to others (Ashani has spots open in her Holiday Challenge right now), about white history and the white media's role in influence. If you need a message about processing fear, ALBB posted this one. Happy Veterans Day. For developments on Palestinian liberation, follow this American veteran who speaks about current tactical war moves and past U.S. federal government assigned aggression in the Middle East.                                           THE EVENTS + RETAIL THERAPY GUIDE Add Your Event Here!

Beth took us back into the kitchen to show us her new machine, which may be one of the only of its kind in the world, modified just for her.

It symbolizes the spiritual victory of Dharma over Adharma, light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Diwali is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar months of Ashvin (according to the amanta tradition) and Kartika—between around mid-September and mid-November. The celebrations generally last five or six days.

BINNACLE BOOKS 321 Main Street, Beacon Reading Katharine Graham's autobiography, "Personal History" during these times has been helpful. Raised in a wealthy family, navigating deeply within patriarchy, Katharine's journey to becoming the publisher of the Washington Post to expose Nixon has been revealing. Katharine takes us through American politics before, during and after 1948 (the Palestinian Nakba and Zionist takeover of that land, though she doesn't talk about that, just happenings around that time). She shows how politics and white media were 100% woven in with each other by white men in media - and some white women who were accepted by white men in business and reporting.
