THIS AND THE FOLLOWING POST. IT REALLY MATTERS!
PayPal has rolled out a new "feature" that prompts you to leave feedback about an artist that you've commissioned via invoice.

Whatever you do, DO NOT fill this out! To quote Admiral Ackbar, "IT'S A TRAP!!!" It is meant to misguide you.

Excellent, practical thread on thwarting ICE actions.
So I got the alert this morning and saw that it was nearby, but it still took me a bit to get out of the house and head over. Then I had to find parking, which was also tricky as there's not a ton of legal on-street parking (and most of it was full). I lucked out and saw someone leaving.
Protesters sprayed with pepper spray for blocking the vehicle, then immediately dispersed.

Charlotte friends, if you know an org that needs whistles, you know who to call. 💕
I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.

ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.

We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:
“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.

But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:

Useful 3D print: if you or your pet eats food that come in little pouches, this dispenser tool is invaluable. Clears the pouch much faster and better than a spoon.

Especially handy for us as many of the low phosphorus, non-rx foods are pouchy, not cans. (I prefer cans, they recycle.)

A book doesn’t need a “serious message” to be worthwhile. Joy is a legitimate end in itself.
