Stopped writing sentences. Stopped winning awards. Stopped making damn tasty chicken soup. Eventually realized I've been depressed. Lassoing the horse so I can get back on.

We're gonna sit here, all day, and bitch about why Democrats aren't stopping this, and approvingly share little videos of the ONLY people who could have stopped it now lamenting that which they birthed into the world. Fuck this fucking game.

Seized Art, Eavesdropping Guards: Parents Describe a Clampdown at Dilley Detention Center as Kids Shared Their Stories Detainees told ProPublica that art supplies have been removed in room searches, immigrants have lost access to Gmail and staff hover within earshot during video calls.

The kids at Dilley were drawing pictures of the horrendous conditions they’re being subjected to in the ICE camps.

They were documenting atrocities.

They were ensuring a historical record.

So the regime took their crayons away from them.

Canvassing while Black is NOT a crime, something I had to remind one of my neighbors AND the police last Friday.

Stay until the end to watch the interaction for yourself.

I am never going to get over the fact thar so many Americans died that corpses stacked up in nursing homes and hospital morgues, that refrigerator trucks had to be brought in for the overflow, and that the big takeaway from Important Pundits is there should have been *less* mitigation.

Folks in Social Circle, Georgia have grasped the interconnection between AI data centers & ICE detention camps. These are the institutions of oligarchic control, but also, & crucially, people are pushing back.

Don't Buy a Gun Confrontational but nonviolent protest is more effective than the solipsistic comfort of an assault rifle.

"The full sentence is infinitely more important than the catchy opening clause: β€œ[T]he only thing we have to fear is fear itselfβ€”nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.” That last bit is the kicker."

The absolute refusal to connect American history to American current events is one of the weirdest expressions of modern racism.

Feeling a sense of peace I haven't felt in a while. Bodies are weird.

Probably the worst part about it though is when I'm stretching my possibilities and someone near me says "you're not limiting yourself right, get in line."

Recovering from years of infirmity is disorienting. Noticing that you are still working around limitations that are no longer there takes a bit of attention, then testing to find what is possible, where the line is now.

Seems as good a time as any to remind everyone that this lets you batch delete everything you've said on a topic

I am back to reading The Arcades Project and oh it's so good. If you like commentary on the bourgeois experience of the nineteenth century.

What's more fun on a Friday night than having mother issues -- both as someone who is a mother who feels inadequate and has a mother who, well, let's say demanded more grace than she gave.

Yes, part of "keep pressure on" means still cancelling subscriptions, etc.
