To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Red Squirrels always looking like they're about to politely interrupt

A Red Squirrel stands upright on the forest floor, tiny paws clasped neatly together as if waiting nervously to ask a question. Its wide eyes and hesitant posture give it an endearing, almost apologetic expression, as though feeling rather unsure about interrupting.

Dad used to moan about how I hadn't grown out of Doctor Who. I now get paid to write about it, so when I visit him I wear Dalek socks.

in the wood behind
the yellow house
a yellow tree
sheds yellow
leaves
while two crows
laugh

Embers caught beneath the letter
Edges curled
Sheets of paper came apart
Came undone
All the words that I had to offer
Up to the stars away
To be delivered as snowflakes
Or mist in your hair
To melt on your woolen hat
And return to the wind
On your breath
Never passing your heart

Yes, thank you.
I had 4 parents a while back, but they all have died. First my dad, then my stepmom, then my stepdad, then my mom was the most recent, the last.
This time of year, it's a wave of anniversaries. I'm riding the wave, but the feelings catch in my throat. Hard ride to Spring.

Silence is loud today

My stepdad on the left, five years since his passing as of tomorrow. My mother on the right, 11 months and 16 days since she passed.

Morning tea: an interesting 2019 Shu Puerh fermented with kombucha instead of water. From Yunnan. Vanilla custard, dark rum, pecan pie, & intense sweet herbal liquor. Gives a mind awakening energy. 🙃

Tried to give the lesser acknowledged acorn squash some gourd loving but only got myself abducted and buried by a squirrel. See you in the spring.

Would just like to state for the record that the stock market has never even once been an indicator of how I’m actually doing in any way ever so

While the water was out
I drew with my toes
A labyrinth in the sand
Will you enter?
We've come back around
It seems only fitting
Each step a promise
Toward the center
And then back again
