If you're in need of some reassurance today:

"...There are no new pains. We have felt them all already. We have hidden that fact in the same place where we have hidden our power. They surface in our dreams, and it is our dreams that point the way to freedom."

-Audre Lorde

Starting to think an unaccountable quasi military organization siphoning off larger and larger portions of the public coffer might be a problem.

The Fraternal Order of Police is on the side of MAGA and against the people they are supposed to be "policing." I think this says a lot to the people who insist local police are going to be "resistance."

exactly - and hey, we do eat vegetarian or vegan at least a couple nights a week (and very frequently for other meals), so i mean, mission accomplished

My in-laws are vegan and always operate on the logic of "convincing 7 people to do Meat Free Monday has the same impact of convincing 1 person to go fully vegetarian"

End of a thread. Gonna lose it with these non-specific calls to action.

Blue state governors and legislators can create their own militias / guards, they can pay people to document ICE, they can work with local governments to shut off water, electricity and transport for ICE facilities.

we actually do try to reduce our meat consumption and eat vegetarian a few nights a week for environmental reasons, but i also pretty firmly believe that finger-wagging at strangers on social media has never actually convinced anyone to become a vegan

They’re just gonna do a little lite slavery.

In addition, the new rule allows farm employers to charge H-2A workers for their housing, which was not allowed before. "It's a way for employers to continue to house workers and also charge them, and bring down effective wages," said Marcos Lopez of the Labor and Community Center at the University of California, Davis.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

They're making big mistakes, moving too quickly and burning bridges before they're capable of shutting down the opposition.

I'm so happy mushroom season is finally getting underway. I found some crown-tipped coral fungi on a damp log. Every branch ends in a tiny crown. 🍄 👑

Two white slender mushrooms in a green meadow.

The very same white slender mushrooms in the green meadow, but with a little group of young shroomers of the same kind in the left. Looks like a family picture.

I've been in a bit of a drawing slump the past few months (and also still want to write reviews for #booksky but just didn't do it yet), but yesterday I just sat down and doodled a mushroom picking dwarf, because that's what I did on friday!
