Gonna get woo woo for a bit—11 posts total.
I’m re-evaluating my spiritual beliefs. Because of everything.
I’m drawn to figures of divine mercy and strength: Jesus, la Virgen de Guadalupe, Hekate. Because they all embody different aspects of the divine—love, justice, transformation, guidance.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

If you want to increase the birth rate here, first thing you need to do is get rid of these motherfuckers, because they are deeply unsexy mood killers who also apparently hate kids.

I’m feeling better. (I’ve been knocked out the last few days with a nasty cough and cold.) Today I felt like cooking pasta like Italians do it.

It’s not wishing ill on a person to point out that actions have consequences. More like connecting the dots.
None of us should be going through this, but if you think your feelings should take priority over those of folks who didn’t sign up for *any* of this & who are most at risk, ‘fraid not.

The most important part of my trip that had the most emotional impact on me: Dachau. Walking into the roll call area hit hard. I had to take deep breaths. I got weepy. Also walking past 30+ long gravel beds where the barracks were, to the crematorium area. Which was also really emotional.

As your lifestyle allows, go out this week and buy coffee from a local coffee shop, buy a book from an indie bookstore, get some spring plants from the local nursery. Maintain your comfort zone, but these are days when our community businesses need us as much as we need them.

Here are some photos of my amazing & exhausting whirlwind trip in Europe. We’re almost at the end. I’m in Germany right now and we leave tomorrow. I have mixed feelings. I miss my bed. I miss my cat. I miss knowing how things (systems) work.
But it’s a bit depressing to go back to…you know.

It takes a really long time to build up trust & not nearly as long to lose it.
And once it’s lost, it takes even longer —& requires even more purposeful effort — to regain it than it did to gain it in the first place.

Scenes from London. We got lost/separated from our group last night when we missed a Tube connection. An adventure! I slept like a corpse. This morning I had an English breakfast…but wasn’t brave enough to try the toast w/beans. (Tomorrow I will.)

Let me get this straight: these people who are *suspected of* (meaning not proven guilty of) being undocumented WHO PAID THEIR TAXES run the risk of being incarcerated indefinitely or subject to extraordinary rendition for following the law?
This is another norm being broken which is dangerous: Normally, personal tax information — even an individual’s name and address — is considered confidential & closely guarded within the IRS. Unlawfully disclosing tax data carries civil and criminal penalties. www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/20...

The move toward information-sharing comes as President Donald Trump pushes his administration to use every resource to conduct what he hopes will be the largest mass deportation of immigrants in U.S. ...

Feeling like making Blue Sky my new home. It’s quieter. And I like quiet. (We’ll see.)
Watching Adolescence on Netflix. It’s so disturbing. On so many different levels. We are an Fd up species. 🤦🏼♀️

Because I’m crap at communication I’m not actually leaving yet. That’s about 5 days away still. But my HAIR is ready.
Okay, London. No more big fires and airport shutdowns, please. I just got my hair done, located my smile again, and I’m ready to walk 10K steps every day for a week with 30 teens and strange adults I don’t know (plus my own teen who I love very very much but she gets grumpy fast).

Here’s me lip syncing to one of my life’s theme songs. It was for Wink Wednesday but we’ll call this Flirtatious Friday. Just pretend I’m Dick Van Dyke in drag.

Went out with my girl,
To do capitalism
Before the rich win.
She said no to a
Selfie, because her hair was
Not perfect—like her.
She’s perfect as is
And I wish she saw herself
Through my eyes, with love.
