As a Texan who is against everything Trump is doing, this terrifies me. I'm no threat to the safety of my fellow Texans, but damn this gives me chills.

A tweet from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton stating: "I'm launching undercover operations to infiltrate and uproot leftist terror cells in Texas. Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. There can be no compromise with those who want us dead."

Reminder:

This is an example of the EXTREMELY disturbing images from the "birthday book" to Jeffrey Epstein that was signed by the President of the United States.

They all knew.

They all thought it was funny.

With maturity comes wisdom, and when we learn from our mistakes, our ghosts can guide us instead of just haunting us.

In honor of Spooky Month™ this week’s song is Ghosts by Get Set Go. It’s about the figurative ghosts that haunt us. From wrong actions taken to words that never should have been spoken, we’ve all done things that we aren’t proud of.

I'm seeing more asymmetrical earring sets, and I'm digging it! Best of luck if you decide to re-pierce. There are so many professional piercing places now, unlike when I was little. I had mine done at the mall, which is probably why I only had it done the one time. 😅

It was a difficult choice because they had SO MANY different birds! I was hoping for a grackle, but no. 😞

I visited Weston Gardens In Bloom, Inc with my mom today, and I found the cutest earrings. I couldn't decide which I liked more, so I bought both.

Velociraptor earrings hanging on cardboard backing. The left is a juvenile, and the right is an adult. Both are fully-feathered, as they should be.

This week is Heavy Foot by Mon Rovîa. If ever there were a song that encapsulates the present situation in the US it’s this one. It pulls no punches and it calls it like it is all while keeping the message hopeful.

I've been working on my story for just over a year now, and this morning I hit 600 views! SIX HUNDRED people have read a writing project I started late last September solely for my own amusement. I'm flabbergasted.

Thanks, y'all!

Trump's own words regarding their "answer to autism":

"And if it's wrong. It's not going to be wrong, but if it's wrong it's fine. We have to do it."

Those words do not instill any confidence. I'm nauseated.

This week is One Perfect Day by I Give Up. I’m exhausted, y’all. All of this hate and division is eating at my heart and soul, and I just want one flipping day where we all treat each other with kindness and respect.

Heck. I just noticed that I had my AO3 comments set to account only. If you've been reading my story as a guest, and you'd like to comment, you can now do so. Apologies.
