Luke and Andrew remember the life and work of the inimitable David Lynch, who passed away this week. They also introduce a new, cutting-edge podcast segment called The TBTL Community Calendar! (Watch out, local AM radio!)

VOLUNTEER WITH FELLOW TENS
Annie is organizing an opportunity to volunteer with other listeners at Food Lifeline in Seattle’s South Park neighborhood on Saturday, March 1. Annie says:
“Around Thanksgiving, there was some chatter about Tens wanting to do some informal meet ups in 2025 and someone wondered if there was a way to combine it with some sort of volunteer activity. I offered to organize a day where Tens could volunteer as a group at Food Lifeline. Come hangout with fellow Tens and give back to the greater Seattle community by volunteering at Food Lifeline in Seattle’s South Park neighborhood on March 1. From 9–11 am. We’ll sort and repack nutritious food to feed our neighbors who may be experiencing food insecurity. You must sign up in advance via Food Lifeline’s volunteer program. There are 20 spots and volunteers must be 10 or older.”
If you have any questions, reach out to Annie directly here.
TBTL BOOK CLUB
Cecilia has been organizing a TBTL Book Club for quite some time now, and you can join the next meetup via Zoom! Here’s a note from Cecilia:
“Please let the Tens know that the next book for the TBTL Book Club will be nonfiction best-seller James by Percival Everett so our Friendos have time to reserve it from their local library. The next meeting will be Sunday, March 9. We’ll decide on a meeting time when we get closer to the date, but we usually meet in the afternoon. Tens can get updates or discuss what they’re reading now in the #bookclub Slack channel or join the TBTL sTens Book Club private Facebook group. We’ll post the Zoom meeting link once we can synchronize our schedules.”
