Do not open your door for ICE officials.

Talk to them through your door. Refuse to open it.

Sheryl Weikal and the colorful Parrotlegals @leftistlawyer.com · Jan 18

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).

You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

I apologize in advance if my cooking does psychic damage to anyone, it was a one-skillet meal on an Airbnb hot plate 😅 As a New Englander by birth I am still perfecting my collards game, but I promise I did drink the potlikker

Nice thing today: it's the time of year when third-tier, don't-buy-the-produce grocery stores sell the best collard greens you've ever eaten

Good thing today: I just made a resolution to start out my reading year by working through my tbr bookcase in chronological order. We'll see how long that keeps me entertained.

Nice thing today: I sent my first ever voice memo. (It was about 18th-century deeds. I'm cool and do cool things)

Nice thing today: I got a Switch (first gaming console of my adult life) and am so charmed to hear whippoorwill calls in Breath of the Wild. It brings back cozy-in-retrospect memories of having one on the roof keeping me awake all night.

I've been enjoying these in a salad with arugula, almonds, and hardboiled egg. Recipe adapted from the Passionate Vegetarian, by the inimitable Crescent Dragonwagon.

Being fresh out of hot takes, I'm quiet on social media these days. I thought I'd try sharing whatever nice things come my way.

Today: curried beets. Roast & peel 'em, saute with red onion & a LOT of curry powder, add honey & apple cider vinegar. If you find beets too sweet, you might like these!

Ways in which my cat resembles Morgoth, the immortal villain of the Silmarillion:
-continuously makes an unholy racket
-believes all living creatures are his playthings
-drawn to shiny objects
-inexplicably charismatic
-forever getting second chances that he does not deserve

fascism is stopped when enough people say one of two things:
1) "nah, I'm not doing that"
2) "nah, you're not doing that"

a lot of people want to imagine how they'll say the second thing, but you should *really* start practicing the first one

Since the ethics of remaining on X is front of mind right now, it seems like a good time to mention that Joe Rogan would not have the reach he has without the absolute luxury jet of a platform that Spotify provides him. Other apps have music & podcasts. Look into it. variety.com/2024/digital...

Joe Rogan’s Spotify Deal Renewal Worth Up to $250 Million, Podcast Will No Longer Be Exclusive to the Platform

Spotify inked a new partnership with Joe Rogan, under which "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast will now be available on other audio platforms.

It’s National Coming Out Day.

Regardless of how you choose to share (or not) the identities you occupy, when it comes to queer identity, every choice requires bravery.

Public or private. Everyone or no one. How you inhabit and share your queer self is an act of bravery and defiance.

Can we do Naptime November instead of NaNo? A month where we prioritize rest, nesting, and creature comforts in the form of soft things, soups and teas

Of my continuing speed watch of the Alien franchise, all I can say is, gosh, leave it to Whedon to author a script that's somehow markedly more sexist than the one where Ripley is trapped on an entire prison planet of rapists

FDA is set to approve the 2024-25 #COVID #vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna next week. They generate a stronger immune response to widely circulating FLiRT variants.

👉Get the new vax as soon as you can if you have upcoming high risk exposures (and wear a mask in crowded places).

New covid vaccines for summer variants slated for approval late next week

The arrival of updated Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines for the KP.2 variant comes well into a summer wave when Americans have struggled to find an existing shot.

Yesss, T2 is a fun enough blockbuster, but Terminator is where it's at! I understand both T2 and Aliens were both groundbreaking in their time, but there are a small number of action movies I adore and neither of them is it.

I have really been burning out on critical darlings the last few years, so reminding myself that my relationship with art can be playful and idiosyncratic and the opposite of homework is very welcome news.

So I just watched Alien 3 for the first time. It was... liberatory? The next time I'm tempted to orient my creative identity around the idea of Great Art (or Artists), I will try to remember how much I infinitely preferred Alien 3 (the "worst" Alien) to Aliens (acclaimed, or so Reddit tells me)
