Beloveds, please remember: even when the world is on fire, your garden hose of compassion and care DOES make a difference, however so humble

Try to stay hydrated. Take the meds and do the things that help you. Eat a food. Try to get outside for about 5 minutes if you can

You are NOT failing

This is exactly it. They're trying to terrify us into acting out of fear in such a way that they can invoke the insurrection act

We need to do something, we need to ACT and NOW, but we need to be smart about it. Not moving out of fear, being herded, but with our own purpose and united

Tricky, hmm?
It's fucking depressing that I live in an extremely conservative state (our governor is Sarah Huckabee-Sanders FFS) AND YET I feel safer here than I would in Minneapolis today.

This is all about terrorizing the population and NOTHING TO DO with immigration.

When you have chronic health problems and you want nothing more than to write, it gets a bti frustrating sometimes
To write yet or not to write yet
As I write this (this post will be scheduled), I have not yet been out of the hospital for a week. I want to write so badly right now, but I know, I know, I need to be resting. At least writing what I...

what they need to come to peace with is that they're going to revoke federal funding from our states regardless & capitulation won't make a goddamn difference here; just like it hasn't in any other scenario as of yet.
Local & state officials are afraid to cross the line & arrest ICE bc most local & state cops (including prosecutors) have had training by DHS, have funding through DHS. Your governors & mayors are not confident their orders will be followed. This is why you see them doing nothing but talking big.

Nobody's legally or morally obliged to care why someone lied to support a kid fucker.

You're allowed to just cut them off.

It's been a morning

6 am: I tried to take my morning pills, got the container turned around and took my night meds instead. This isn't a big deal, just inconvenient

7 am: open up my laptop, it's been acting funny. Huh, where IS the cooling paste on the graphics card...? Good thing I have more!

I'm just going to take a second to point out that the shit stains in ICE were probably hollering so loudly about the injustice of needing to wear masks during the pandemic

They sure seem fond of them now, don't they?

crystal clear black letter constitutional violations happening on camera and absolutely no chance anyone involved faces a single consequence
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

As far as I know, the only one in my blood family. I have a cousin who, although we share no blood for complicated reasons, is my aunt's kid and kid's pretty young, a teenager? But I read the queer in them

I hope they'll be okay and figure it out. I'm no longer in contact with my blood family
Are you the only gay person in your family???...I'm sitting here randomly thinking like I can't be

My birthstone is the very stone first thrown when Jesus said "Let the one who is without sin cast the first stone"

I inherited it and then cast it into the Madawaska
My birthstone is a peach pit
My birthstone is one of those shiny snaps from a western shirt

Okay fine, I'll eat the last pickle and drink the juice from the jar later today, FINE

Back from the relatively long walk with a minor complication:

My right boot's rubber sole decided to start falling off on the way home

But I got enough of what I wanted to be getting on with. A teeny amount more research and I'll be good to get started
Oh my gods

I just realized that a half baked plan of mine will probably WORK and doesn't require much effort on my part beyond my ability and willingness to talk a relatively long walk sometimes

Fucker

Was looking at my discharge paperwork from after my seizures and possible TIA in December and one of the possible causes of stroke is a burst blood vessel, like a vein or an artery

I've had two vein bursts in the past year, in my left elbow and my right thumb
