Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

Went to get the mail. It was windy. Thought I saw a large white piece of paper rolling across the street.

I quickly realized it was the neighborhood 🦨. I called out to it and when that didn’t work, clapped my hands while standing still. It finally saw me and moved into the bushes.

Mail can wait.

this is a soft apocalypse
a gentle genocide
the slow boiling of values and decency
a southern politic at church potlucks and neighborhood lynchings

Bernie Sanders is holding MASSIVE rallies in packed venues, bigger crowds than Trump was getting, and legacy media is practically silent. Bernie is talking to workers rather than hanging out with socialites with mediocre plastic surgery at Mar-a-Lago, and it's just not interesting to corporate media

when they take your voice
use your feet to make trouble

and when they take your feet
use your hands to make waves

and when the hands go
use your eyes to burn warnings

and when your eyes fail
use your heart to beat change

The tests are a problem because

1. Trump hated covid tests because ""If you don't test, you don't have any cases."
2. they taught us govt can give us nice things
SCOOP: Trump administration has been evaluating the costs of destroying or disposing of tens of millions of coronavirus tests that would otherwise be provided free to Americans. My story w/ Carolyn Y. Johnson.

www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
U.S. weighs destroying $500 million in stockpiled covid tests
The government is reviewing proposals to shut down the program that ships free covid tests to American households and has been considering destroying 160 million tests.

a woman once died from toxic empathy
the coroner said her heart gave out
after it was crushed by the weight of all the needs she carried on her back

“toxic empathy,”
the coroner said,
“killed this woman.”
“beware,”
the king said,
“because it might be catching.”

it’s called resistance for a reason
but exercise has never been my forte
and i’m afraid when the going gets tough
i hide under weighted blankets and doom scrolling

I’m trying to keep up with the news while maintaining my sanity enough to keep anxiety attacks at bay. Delicate balance there.

Love you all! Let’s take care of ourselves first, then others as we can.

I’m still getting followed by middle to older aged white men with very little on their profiles but they have thousands of followers and are following thousands. Riiiiight.

BLOCK.

So I guess we had an earthquake this morning. I definitely felt it. But thought it was the neighbors washing machine unbalanced.

This one went around and around, not back and forth. Dunno the technical term.

I’m so excited about what I made to give my boyfriend for his birthday!! It came out so well!

Let me know if you want to see. I’ll PM you a picture.

I am very much not ok today. :(. Trying so hard to pretend I am. I’m at work, so I have to at least pretend a bit.

I’m using the block feature VERY liberally. There is zero reason for random men to follow me. I have posted nothing that would make them interested. So yeah. Sorry, not sorry. I’m blocking them all unless I recognize them.
January 23, 2025 at 4:03 PM
Sending love to all my friends. I don’t have a lot of answers. But I do care.
January 23, 2025 at 5:35 AM
I do NOT like that anyone can follow me here and my only real option is to block them.

I’m assuming a lot of them are bots. But I don’t know for sure. But I’m not comfortable with random people following me with no reason.

I listened to another twoish hours of @tialevingswriter.bsky.social ‘s book yesterday. Oof. Definitely the most triggering survivor story I’ve ever read. But also incredibly important and validating.

I didn’t go through what she did. But I was raised Gothard.

Well worth reading.

I don’t have a lot of words about today. Other than, LGBTQ people are valid and wanted. You are wonderful people who I am so happy to know.

There is so much much more I want to say. Maybe later.

Work went well. I was able to breathe well all night until the last couple hours (and even that wasn’t bad) in spite of walking the halls at regular speed. Energy levels were fine. Yay!
