Sun Tzu vomited everything he ate yesterday :/
He's quarantined in the kitchen for now (the only room in my apartment without carpet), and he's got a vet appointment this afternoon. Hopefully, if he goes today without vomiting, I'll cancel it. It's expensive.
He's behaving completely normally.

Question for legal minds...if ICE agents refuse to provide identification, doesn't that make it legal for citizens to act out in defense? We dont know who they really are. They refuse to provide identification. Fighting back seems beyond legal to me.

The media (and everyone else) need to stop referring to ICE as "law enforcement".
They are out to perform "ethnic cleansing" and to terrorize the population.
There is nothing "lawful" about it.

As the midterms approach, we must:
1) fight for fair elections
2) ensure people on all sides have access to voting
3) vote out those more interested in partisanship than our people and Country
4) vote out those who are ineffective
Most importantly-
5) fight fascism and tyranny Every. Single. Day.

These tall flower stalks felt almost architectural — repetition, spacing, and quiet structure rising out of the garden. Foxtail lilies (Eremurus) turn bloom into form.
If this resonates, feel free to share it along.

Just one more pastel flower painting for now. A carnation and freesia painting with a couple of anenomes and some ivy plus a shell that has been in several artworks. This one dates from the millenium and is on someone else's wall. See alt txt.

All of this is because the United States had a knee jerk (heavy on the jerk) reaction to having a two term black President and not enough people got heir asses out of their recliners to go vote.
Good job.
