I may have watched Rear Window once too often.
My unit of measure for a trunk is "Will it hold a body?"
If it can hold a body, then it has room for 3 40lb bags of bird feed, 4 bags of garden dirt, or 6 bags of mulch. Plus a couple flats of bedding plants.
And I can still get groceries.

The 14th Amendment is clear: The Constitution, not the president, defines who is a citizen.

Birthright citizenship is central to who we are as a country, and we're fighting to protect that right at the Supreme Court.

That project will need a serious soak to remove the residual spray and gas.

Otherwise - WOW πŸ™€

This ad shows her getting attacked by ICE as she protested.
I was there.
I saw what happened.
It was worse than these clips show, and her bravery was obvious.

After tear gas and pepper balls, after getting thrown to the ground, when the gas cleared she sat at that very spot, and started knitting.

Ableist because it can come across as almost ignoring whatever the character actually has to deal with on a daily basis?

Ok possibly a different take. Good Sister, by Sally Hepworth. Author is NT, has ND family. Main character is ND, which affects the plot, but isn't *the plot*, more than say having CPTSD. It came across to me as, "just part of her personality, no big deal"

How to not have a stinky kitchen dish sponge.
Don't use one. Use dishcloths and change them *daily*
When I'm done using a dishcloth, I hang out over the faucet to dry. Next day, I throw it in the laundry and get a fresh one. No stinky dish cloths either.

Forget white (privileged) asylees from SA, make it SA women asylees in general (altho given the current regime, how much safer they'd be is questionable)

Lace in crochet. I knit Continental combination, so having the yo wide open, and the decreases leaning the right way is more fiddly in knit.
If I want to produce square inches(footage) quickly, crochet. If a want a denser smooth fabric, knit. What kind of texture I want dictates which technique.
