This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this.

This right here.
It be people who have never applied for a single government service bemoaning the idea of people "who don't need it," getting access to it. And like, that is not a problem we have. Our problem is that these systems are so Byzantine that many people who need them cannot access them.
I’m trying very hard to be measured about this conversation but I am so, so frustrated with the idea that accommodations are easy to get and enforce. They are not, and every parent of a disabled child spends an extremely considerable amount of time getting them and then making sure they’re enforced

I'm diametrically opposed to and repelled by marketing, so I painfully share that if anyone wants to give any of my few published crochet/Tunisian crochet patterns a shot, they're on sale on Etsy, and there's friendly and responsive live support available on Bluesky (namely me) 🧶

If they want to slow down the Trump administration, Democrats should begin promising this *now*
We're gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission and Nuremberg style trials to reckon with all of this evil, and any Dem candidate for office who shies away from a full reckoning in the name of "moving forward as a nation" can get well and truly fucked
I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

The reason I mentioned this, though I felt too weird about it to say so yesterday is that if you subscribe before I get around to this you will get current prices with a slow monthly increase next year.
Sometime in the next few days I am finally going to get around to dealing with the price changes required to the Tea of the Month Club - due to the increase in the cost of shipping.

This book on Sofia Parnok has made me realize I have to read something on Russian mysticism of the late 19th century (beyond basic Theosophy and Khlysty stuff in the background) and probably about Eastern Orthodoxy as well. Uh. Got any nonfiction book recs?
