There is a tiny spider living in my car. I watched it scuttle across the windshield then gracefully drop down to the dashboard. I haul wood in my jeep so this visitor is not surprising. What is surprising is that I am very worried the little thing will be lonely and starve to death.

A little kid in my neighborhood helped his parents decorate the house for Halloween. He made his decoration and he said it was the scariest thing he could think of. It was a job application. Hilarious, sad, true. Especially these days.

Grannie's meatloaf recipe is cooking in the oven. I also made mashed potatoes and a salad. I am just learning to cook so I am pretty pleased with myself. Everything is so scary right now, that I am trying to revel in the little wins.

I just found something in my scarf. I didn't know what it was, so I ate it. Luckily, it was a piece of rice cake. 🤦♀️🤷♀️ In other news, we are fighting fascism. Just in case you were wondering.

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.
Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms.

I gave a homeless man (maybe in his 70s) 4 dollars today as I was leaving work. He smiled so broadly and said "God is so good! Every day!" I said "Im trying to find hope lately". And he said "OH there is hope and faith in every! thing!!" And I cried all the way home.

From an immigration attorney friend:
ICE raids planned in SF, Oakland, and Bay Area tonight&tomorrow. Ideally folks with dubious immigration status should stay home. Document and share details of encounters if you see them.
