Yesss! And super friendly too. You know how the Rider Waite is "shake you by the collar" and Lenormand is just pretentious, and a lot of Oracle decks seem to have no idea what they're doing? This one feels like your old Auntie reading tea leaves "just for funsies" but is somehow 110% accurate lol.

She showed up literally at my door last winter (tapping on the glass!), right before a major storm. Tried for weeks to find her humans, before admitting she was staying 🐾

Gifted by a friend! It's called The Stitcher's Oracle -- no assigned meanings, just fibre-related art, and you work out for yourself what each card means.

Little slow on the uptake, yeah? Moscow has been signalling its intentions to reclaim at least the former Soviet territories for more than ten years. The Baltics (and the rest of Europe) need to stop waiting for US permission to defend themselves. Starting with purging RU money from EU politics.

How many studies are there that prove providing houses reduces people living house less?

We are never going to learn this, are we?

News item #bazillion about how housing the homeless saves the public purse millions of dollars. This one's from Toronto.
At some point we're going to have to admit that there's some reason other than money that makes us prefer homelessness.

Toronto hospital housing model ‘a gift’ to residents as ER visits reduced by half - Toronto | Globalnews.ca

He was a perfect example of what health officials have long called "frequent flyers": patients, usually homeless, who visit the hospital an inordinate number of times.

Masked and armed thugs violently assaulted and kidnapped hundreds of citizens -- without warrants, without cause, and destroying their homes in the process -- and the US collectively shrugs?
Why is this terrorist group being allowed to operate unchecked?

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago.

Folks like him are rarely the target of violence; they're almost always the ones inciting it. Usually against people I call my friends. So ... maybe if you don't want violence, don't incite it? Stochastic terrorism is still terrorism.
