My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

The village is up again. The villagers shopping at small, local merchants. Mmm local support.

One of my holiday trees. I have two up this year. This was a gift from a friend. I've placed it so it lights up near my little gnome village. Keep hope alive.

I shop for books at Book People here in Richmond and get my audio books from Libro.fm which gives back to Book People, and other independent book stores, a bit. Stay local. Resist.

If youre looking for a place to shop that's as local as it gets, Head over to Freeport and hit up Two Sisters in Maine, a shop full of lovely gifts made by Maine makers, including some cool tie dyes made by Yours Truly. Then head over to Freeport Market for more Maine made goods!

Ah, Stranger Things is back. I spent some time this fall watching the first four seasons getting ready for season 5. Oh it is dark. Very dark. And somehow inspiring. Only watched episode 1. I'm going to drag this out. In the midst of chaos I will find this enjoyable. Resist

Started prepping postcards for mailing. 100 postcards takes a bit of doing. So I turned on a movie."Don't Worry, Darling". Excellent cinematography, strong acting. Gets into your brain. It's a little bit of a horror movie. But it's a gem.

Saturday. Cleaning house, sorting bookcases, and mailing postcards. Should be a nice quiet day. Keep resisting.

I have only recently been able to listen to audiobooks. I highly recommend this book. The narrator, Kate Reading, is truly a wonder to listen to. The story is fun and interesting and exciting. This is the first in a series of three. I use libra.fm and link to Book People so they get a credit.

The postcards I ordered came. I have the stamps needed. 100 postcards is going to be an awful lot of writing. I think it's worth it.
