Overeducated feral raccoon pretending to be human. 1209 years old. Extremely obscure and random. I was there when snark was invented. Possibly a Disney Princess.

One thing that I have heard regularly (and I agree with it) is that I can "wear" almost any vibe. Long hair hippie? Yep. Broomstick skirt and pigtails at Lilith fair? Yep! Preppy school girl? Vintage lady? 14th century peasant? Yes to all.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Then I must not be a democrat because what I want is ICE out of our cities, full accountability for their crimes, and a complete dismantling of the de facto slave patrol system set up by your own coworkers.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.

Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.

Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Good morning from Meryem, who is hanging out with me in the living room because her dad ( @tsothoga.bsky.social ) is in Philly and I am a mediocre replacement.

today's Kaitlan Bui poem is one of my fave things i've read in a while. so honored to get to share it.

"when he was my age, my grandfather would comb the scalp
of the forest for shells, then write letters to the families
of dead bodies he found."

when he was my age, my grandfather would comb the scalp of the forest for shells, then write letters to the families of dead bodies he found. dog tags, they were called, because war makes humans…

You know... I don't actually mind completing a text-based interview, where I can submit my answers in writing.

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

My latest for Slate
You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

If I offered $5 tarot card readings, who would be interested?

(3 cards, text based response, prolly Venmo?)

Reading the actual guidelines that define a task and surprisingly the requirements don't match what we are doing, especially when we spend a good chunk of time at the beginning of the semester doing it. So surprise. Much shock. Very confuse. /s
