Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Dude, it’s absolutely the worst, but our finitude, theirs & ours, is also what makes our time together so meaningful & special. Grief just sucks, but unfortunately it’s a part of the package with love, human & otherwise. Hang in there though. The pain eventually mostly transforms into happy memory

Winter evaporation is the largest cause of low lake levels. Hope this at least stabilizes it for a while.
