A lovely thread of dogs who love the snow. In case you also need that this morning.
I am having a really rough morning emotionally and would like more videos and pictures of your dogs - not just any dogs, but your dogs - in the snow.

What if, instead of doing any writing on this article, I simply carried on reading an ever ramifying list of potentially relevant works by other people who actually did some writing? What then?

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
