Murder. And not just the one who pulled the trigger.
Holy shit.
Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

one of my sort of recurring Themes that I care about in history is: when we change the name of a place (a room, a street, a house, a website) is how long people do the "Gamma, formerly known as Delta" thing. it varies a lot and is really interesting to me
It's quite funny that my institution has decided to renumber all its rooms lately, but doesn't give out a nice concordance upon doing so. So if you've written down an old-style room number, it's basically impossible to work out what that would be now.

I have read it over & over again. I come back to it as I come back to Pablo Neruda's Canto XII From The Heights of Macchu Picchu (www.poemhunter.com/poem/canto-x...) and Eavan Boland's "That The Science of Cartography Is Limited" www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-06-19-bk-5888-story.html
That the Science of Cartography Is Limited, by EAVAN BOLAND
--and not simply by the fact that this shading of forest cannot show the fragments of balsam, the gloom of cypresses, is what I wish to prove.

By the time I posted this pic he'd curled up in a tight ball again to pointedly ignore the activity and lights of foolish early-rising humans.
He believes strongly in getting his full 16 hours of sleep each day.

Still furious about the NYT sending five reporters (or at least that’s the byline) to talk to retired people at ten am at Ye Olde Pickle Factory in fucking Nisswa.
Yeah retired white rural Minnesotans are conservative and scared of brown people and generally pro cop. This ain’t news.

I've been quietly agitating for years for someone to do a lush costume drama series about Cushman's life and circle. Entire social networks of artistic and social-activist lesbians!
