The cruelty and indifference to suffering is a choice, not a byproduct of something else. And it won't stop unless we stop it.

#ROC folks, the canal trail between W. Henrietta Road and Kendrick Drive is closed for long-overdue repairs with no ETA for reopening. If you want to travel through, the detour is on Westmoreland Drive. Good luck.

It's 42F, the wind is hitting 20+ mph, and it's raining. We're not expecting a lot of trick or treaters this year. *sigh*

The loss of reputation the US has suffered in the eyes of the world will persist long after TFG is dead and gone. They've seen that the US is perpetually just one election away from fascism, and it's foolish to trust it.

Forever my favorite Halloween comic.
Comic The Grim Reaper on the front step of an older woman's house with a couple of kids in costumes. She is handing out Snickers bars. "I'm not wearing a costume. I'm here to take your soul--" "Holy shit full size Snickers" "Nevermind Margaret we're good"

Do you use Spotify Premium? Cancel your subscription until Spotify stops running ICE ads. There are other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify
(between images of the Spotify logo that have been crossed out) DON’T STREAM FASCISM Spotify is treating ICE recruitment like just another ad. But when you turn family separation into a marketing pitch, you're not a platform — you're spreading propaganda. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

When I was a kid, no one worried about the US becoming a fascist dictatorship because the scars of WWII were still fresh.

Now that generation is mostly gone, and we're in the midst of repeating the mistakes we once fought so hard to correct.

Once again, the corrections will be painful.
