Bookmark exchange thanks.
In this post Shepherd suggested a book mark exchange and mine arrived today.
Thanks to Shepherd for both idea and execution and to everyone who sent in bookmarks. I got a lovely selection, including a library one you can use to track your reading (I mean, I use StoryGraph, but more manual methods are also good) and 3 bookmarks for non Anglophone bookshops.
If other people taking part could check in, that would be lovely.

where to share interesting virtual events?
Recently I've come across two online 'events' that I thought mefis might be interested in. IRL doesn't seem like the place to share them because they are not In Real Life. is there a place? If not, could there be?

New Wiki Post for USA Voting Support
Using the information from several recent posts about how to support voter turnout in the upcoming U.S. Presidential election, I have created a VotingSupport page in Metafilter Wiki that lists specific organizations that work to educate and support voters. If you are looking for somewhere to volunteer, donate, or get help in voting, I hope you will take a look at this page.
I'd like to start a local bookstore bookmark exchange.
Kind of a summer project for myself. Selfishly, I'd love to have cool bookmarks from bookstores from across North America and maybe the world!

Acknowledging fears while avoiding doomsaying
I have a suggestion for community communication standards for posts such as the one on the shootings at Trump’s July 13 rally that make many of our fellow Mefites highly anxious.
