Still in the hotel. No power, heat, or water at home still
January 31, 2026 at 2:23 PM
Turns out the power company sent a false message and my power is not back on. I’m in the hotel for maybe days
January 29, 2026 at 3:33 PM
The national guard has been activated finally here

🙉 someone seems to have brought their guitar next door in the hotel and is singing a song 🎸 that’s it blizzard come take us all 🙉

Maybe I’ll be able to leave the hotel tomorrow morning and see what damage is at home. This ice storm officially sucks

First caffeine since the storm hit

My friend got us and we managed to find the last room in a near-ish hotel. Power out for days, pipe burst in the wall, and we found an opening to leave when the house was 39°F. My car is iced at home so I’m stuck at a hotel in a different city but hey we’re safe! The cat is warm. That’s what counts!

We made it through the night!

Still no power. The cat and I are hunkered down under blankets

This, the writing of Judith Shklar among others, is why I tend to focus on cruelty -- to the degree I focus on anything -- in my writing, it's why that's the subject of Parker's final speech. Of all the Ordinary Vices, this is my personal trigger.
A valuable read about the core of a republic. "Cruelty, even when legal, corrodes civic trust. It teaches citizens that power is something to fear rather than something they collectively own. It signals that consent is no longer the foundation of governance."

Also, if you were wondering why the season finale of Leverage:Redemption last year was a refutation of the Melian Dialogue, "the strong do what they will", condemned systemic cruelty and offered illegal resistance is legitimate, as opposed to a fun heist, it's because WE'D DONE THE FUCKING READING.

We must all have ways to hold, release, some of the devastation and fury in these times of terror and rage.

When we do, we may have more capacity for useful action.

Because we must take action.
But we must have capacity.

Some words, and some resources:
how to face the horrors of now
feel, then do

Social consequences for fascism, harm and complicity with same.

Or: Kindness and "nice" aren't the same fucking thing.

Kindness centers human dignity and the preciousness of all life, not social comfort.
we don't have very much but we can strip anybody who works for ICE of any social niceties whatsoever. you find out somebody is with them? they don't get to be ANYTHING to you anymore. and tell them WHY. it SUCKS to be ostracized and stigmatized. please use it on somebody who's earned it for once

Fiction and fantasy aren't "fake" any more than light seen through a prism is fake. It's just seen from a different perspective. Light seen through a prism is still light. Truth seen through a story is still the truth.
