I have just recently embraced the fact that I have always been (still am?) a swamp witch, and not a prairie witch as I so often declared from the swamp in which I used to live. I aspire to be a mountain witch, so that's where I am now, but I suspect I'll end up a bog witch.
I don't hate it.

Libraries are free for you to use, serve the public good, are great, support creators financially and, I cannot be clear enough about this-- ARE FREE FOR YOU TO USE-- so pirating books makes you kind of an asshole, not some Marxist revolutionary.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

This is beyond the pale. Using federal law enforcement to bully and intimidate people you disagree with is fascism 101 and I'm not sure people are angry enough about what's really happening in America right now. Fascism isn't just an American problem. Other politicians are copying Pedo Pigs MO.

I bought a cane to help walk with this whole wonky back business & I’ve had a bit of a setback yesterday necessitating its use more heavily. One thing I didn’t like about it was that it kept making metal rattling noises. Turns out it’s a ring to screw in to the height placement. Fantastic.

Folks, if your library doesn’t have a book you want to read, ask them to buy a copy. Most have a convenient form and will let you know when it comes in. If your library offers ILL, they can even borrow books from other libraries.

Every single day, about a dozen times a day, I go “that can’t be real…“ And then I have to go look it up.
It’s usually real. I fucking hate this.
Why are we allowing the myth that men are “logical” “leaders” and “protectors” continue without challenge?

A mother of 8 was sexually abused by an ICE officer.
She went public with the abuse, and was deported the very next day.
Her lawyer says she had a stay on her deportation order
They disappeared her so she couldn’t speak out.
Silvia Reyna Mendoza deserves justice.
ICE should be abolished.

Interesting thought, what would happen if everyone started wearing masks again? If the police and ICE can do it, why can't everyone else? Sure would mess up facial recognition and probably a lot fewer people would get sick as well.
