Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

I don’t usually go to Reddit but I just found out the local sub has a dedicated weather guy so now that’s where I have to go to actually get information. I’m done with the apps lying to me about what I’m seeing with my own two eyes.

Lately, fabrics: my wardrobe is basic but I will go for 100% wool, linen, cotton, or a blend of those, and just re-wear stuff often. Fountain pen inks, even in my cheap pens I will use bougie ink only. Work notebooks, since I spend so much time taking notes for work, even if I buy it myself.

One of the most useful things a community organizer ever told me was "if someone wants to play tug of war with you, let go of the rope." The power in any conflict lies not w/ the person who initiates, but w/the person who responds. "Thanks for sharing your perspective, you may be right." And move on

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

A true Filipino experience!
