yes the body keeps the score

but the weirdest moments

are when you can hear that score

unfolding in the moment

and yes i did just make that

a musical metaphor

here is something really wild:

today a friend came over to help bring food and drinks to me bc i'm still so sick.

she was standing above me as i was coughing and struggling to regain my breath, and because she was playing wth my dog, my dog was barking,

before they commit more crimes in violation of the lord, what is one's duty to offer them a chance to reconsider and remember the gospel and what it says about protecting the innocent, the weak, the immigrant, the persecuted?

to me, that is what my faith demands.

to my country, that is terrorism

if you see a man rush out of a building and start chasing a random woman who's done nothing wrong with a gun aimed at her, would you try to intervene or help her?

what does that ethical (and legal? definitely civic) duty look like if calling the police is not an option to help her?

why do much more limber people with cameras and tripods not be over there filming and one person with a megaphone yelling things designed to make them feel observed or somehow less likely to be the worst version of what they can be idk

saw dynamics last night that made me think

i feel bad that we don't just choose city hall

or any place that is not going to poison us all

if the only result of this protest is ppl being poisoned while the paid informants get to throw rocks and trash and cross the line and talk to guards without any legal or social consequence

i think this girly is done with that location

we should so obviously clearly have people stand like sentries on the side during processing & other stuff they don't like filmed

observe what happens whe this movement you can't see from the gate is occuring. observe patterns in what could be imagined as ensuring such unobserved movement inside

there should be a set of steps that regular OTG people know to do when someone is arrested,

a routine set of things to do
and when to do them

all the things we can do to:
— reduce liklihood of sexual assault
— document and chart the gendered difference in how long they keep people detained

i just wish i understood what was happening

but this truth is contained across multitudes

of points of view, so many different pieces

must be put together to see it whole.

communication via flash light sequences from someone in the crowd + hand gestures from agent?

abstruse: Hard to understand; obscure.

ETYMOLOGY: From Latin abstrudere (to hide), from ab- (away) + trudere (to push)
