This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

I’m writing about my job as independent rogue caregiver for people with dementia
Read my friend @blisick.bsky.social writing about the in-home care work she does in the Hudson River valley. It’s good and doesn’t sit in your mental stomach like a stack of heavy pancakes.

I used to love to tweet about gross things happening on the airplane but I need to report that this Detroit to SF flight is full of nice people being unusually kind to one another. I fly a fair amount and something feels different. Keep it up, people!

Pulled off the bark of my firewood and uncovered this beauty. A true metaphor. Think how gorgeous we would all be if we skinned ourselves and walked around displaying our raw bloody tissue for the world to see what’s really inside!

Prudence, who has Alzheimer’s dementia, describes it like this: “It’s like you have a hole in the sole of your shoe and you’re trying to walk so that you don’t step on anything that hurts, but you’re still trying to fool the world into thinking you don’t have a hole in the sole of your shoe.”
