Guillotines are the moderate solution
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

I sent one of my honorary nieces a giant kids book of how construction sites work with big fold-outs and interactive flaps to move. It seems like it was a hit, and I am deeply smug about it. Getting girls interested in construction and the trades makes me happy.

I had a dream that I had to ditch my cellphone and escape from a paramilitary group through the snowy mountains of Atlanta (????) with Robert Evans of Behind the Bastards fame. This is what I get for re-listening to It Could Happen Here.

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

The medieval world was as brutal as it was whimsical.
It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

Used the self check-out machine at CVS. It flagged my purchase of sleeping pills and Excedrin as needing age verification. Okay, no prob. Then I remembered I'm wearing my "Abolition is Creative" hoodie that has a broken down cop car that's taken over by Weed plants on the back. So, y'know. Normal.

I'm debating getting a little sleeper couch for my office/art room/recording studio/home gym. Does anybody have recs for small, compact sleeper sofas?

ICE “left” Chicago in November, but they’ve disappeared three people from my community in two days this week.

Don’t believe the hype about them, leaving Minnesota, either.

The Trump admin is imprisoning pregnant children—many who are victims of rape—in Texas, where they will be forced to carry high-risk pregnancies without proper medical care. A particularly horrifying example of the violent misogyny and racism that are the bedrock of their political project.

THIS! I used to push myself through so many books I wasn't enjoying--no need. Be free! Read (or write) the thing you love!
Good morning! Life is too short to spend on stories you don't love. Don't be afraid to stop reading - or stop writing - a book if you're not enjoying it

I made the mistake of listening to the news on my way home from Confirmation classes, and tbh, I would have rather been debating trinitarianism.

We’ve all had days where we’ve woken up, forgotten to brush our teeth, and closed all El Paso airspace for an hour instead.

Early indications that it's a whole lot dumber than I expected.
AP says the El Paso closure is due to the military doing something with counter-drone tech against the Mexican cartels. CNN says whatever it was, it came out of Biggs air force base in Fort Bliss.

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign.

Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship.

Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

My mom has vision problems, but she likes to write text messages to herself as notes. Well, today, she's in a meeting and accidentally started sending all her notes to me. So I let her know I'm keeping them safe in my inbox.

"Don't worry about the Discord thing, it's only NSFW servers and channels that will require age verification! :)"

I could remove every speck of risque imagery/topics from my community and there's still a 50% chance we'd get flagged just because we're openly queer.

It's not actually about the kids.
