We have finally made it to Marie’s Crisis Cafe for showtunes and drinks!
It took a while of wandering through the West Village first to refamiliarize ourselves with the area.
Let the night begin!

The feeling when you're idly browsing fabric listings on Etsy and see something you really like and then find out it's discontinued and selling for sixty bazillion dollars for 1/16 of a yard at a time.

Alright, where are my gifted kids at? You were smart and you never had to study and then you went to college and suddenly had to learn a new skillset overnight, that everybody else had years to learn, or flame out spectacularly?
That’s what talent is like.

In my experience, talent is a *detriment* to learning.
I didn't have to practice early on so I *didn't know how*. I didn't start to learn how to practice until my 30s! (When much of my life was taken up with parenting, so I didn't have time!)
I didn't start to improve as a musician until my 40s!

(Most of) the District Court judges, at least, are trying their best.
Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

A change of heart is good, and we should foster it and encourage it wherever we see it. However, be cautious of somebody who claims a change of heart but refuses to walk in a new direction, or insists that somebody else carry them down the path.

This looks key.
We have a constitutional right to document and record ICE and other federal agents in the act and it's more crucial than ever as the Trump regime lies about victims of its cruelty.

Okay, since I’m in a mood, do you know what is annoying mild *annoyance* about all this, rather than a gut-wrenching crisis?
I’m not a Christian but my sense of fairness keeps requiring me to defend the church because people keep posting shit about “Why aren’t Christians speaking up?!”

I feel like @neolithicsheep.bsky.social understands this concept.
The reason to have a lawyer is to tell you that you can't do the brilliant scheme you came up with and when you don't listen, they help minimize the damage.
