For the noobs, hi! I'm Liz.
You likely followed me from a rare witty comment in response to someone else's post.
I read books (lots of genre fiction, history, science), watch movies (fewer than I'd like,) and listen to music (Classic Rock, Weird Al, & showtunes.)

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Y'all, we don't watch The Cutting Edge because we're into figure skating or hockey.
We watch bc Moira Kelly is ethereally beautiful (in the mold of Mia Sara in Legend & Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth) and DB Sweeney a Labrador puppy.

I keep window-shopping for more nail polish, and there are some FABULOUS color names.
Faves include Dorothy's Stilettos (ella + mila); 404: Soul Not Found (mooncat); and Queen of the Dead (mooncat)
(I may be low-maintenance, but I do like sparkly things.)

Fascism wants you to believe that you are alone. That you are isolated. That the feelings you have are yours and nobody else has them because everybody is too afraid to speak.

If you're feeling helpless and don't know what to do: Look for people out there who are already helping. I promise they're out there. And then ask how you can help and do it.
You're not alone. Community is out there and it's the way forward. ❤️👊

Groundhog Day live updates: Punxsutawney Phil predicts 6 more weeks of winter
Tens of thousands of people are gathering for Punxsutawney Phil, a groundhog that lives in a tree stump, to predict if the already long and cold winter across much of the United States will go on for another six weeks or if an early spring is around the corner.
