ICE will be in Raleigh tomorrow, and city officials have reason to believe Durham also.
- The state is not and will never be our friend, any of us.
- These are our neighbors and our community. They fail if we don't do our part in preserving them.
- People aren't illegal.

Anyone have an open source publishing tool they recommend (on the individual contributor level) that isn't Asciidoctor?

Why has the government been closed at all if Senate Dems cave now? Didn't they say that they could not go along with throwing millions of people off health care?

What's materially changed? A *promise* is not action. ALSO fascists lie and I've been told by some Senate Dems that the GOP is fascist.

So it. Republican Senator for Alaska spoke out - meaninglessly ofc but she did - because the pushback on states for funding SNAP applies from their own budgets and applies retroactively to states that paid prior to the Friday ruling. He wants it retroactively illegal.
Call your senators. I don’t care if they’re Republicans, or if a deal has already been reached. Call them anyway, and let them know exactly what you think of what’s happening. Don’t give them a moment’s peace to forget the blood on their hands.

I threw a bottle of body lotion at a bug, and it was a direct hit. That’ll never happen again.

Grandpa Simpson was really kinda brilliant. Wish I could tell him that.

(For the purposes of this post, I'm NOT referring to the show. I ALSO called my grandfather that, because that was his name.)

@frankturner.bsky.social released a cover of "This Year" by @themountaingoats.bsky.social, and it's GOOD. It's played with the same sincerity & uniqueness as he did with "Virtute" live somewhere.

I still struggle to listen to the song when the year feels cursed. It feels like I'm taunting God.

"6 7" isn't unique in being weird and nonsensical in a way that drives older people crazy.

"Alice's Restaurant" from the Vietnam War era did the same thing to the military and right wingers. People were positive it contained hidden messaging about activism. It didn't.

I slept better postpartum. That’s 1:13 hours of sleep with three interruptions. That’s with Ambien and no caffeine.

It happened. I used "Find My" to locate my watch in the bin, thankfully in paper-based recycling in a bag.

Whenever I see bands with a sizeable and/or cult following (specifically @themountaingoats.bsky.social today & two yesterday) what they think about Spokane. I don't miss any part of Eastern WA except in memories.

I love my home now, but my heart aches for those memories. The desert is also pretty.

Durham Public Schools is requiring all staff to attend a workshop from prominent anti-queer church on their teacher workday (4 Nov.). The church, World Overcomers Christian Church led by Pastor Williams, said as recently as 2024 that Christianity has “bowed to this—

I really hate to be this person, but I doubt he feels limited by the term limit, nor do I think anyone with any kind of power to stop him will. All of this is absolutely an abuse of power, but none of the legal safety rails matter a single pixel unless someone actually stands up.
A surprise? NO.

"Grifter-in-Chief" Trump pardoned wealthy tax cheat Paul Walczak after Walczak's mother paid $1 million for dinner at Mar-a-Largo.

Term-limited Trump hosted a $1.5 million-per-plate fundraiser. For a 2028 campaign war chest?

I’ve been dreaming about my grandparents house - always empty, haunted - do the first time in years. I found it on Google Maps.

Birdie bunts my face like Grim did.

I dream that Grandpa’s left awful, haunted energy, and it follows me. I have to make myself small (conceal my mana—

RIP Chris Shrewsbury, a beloved member of the NC con scene and accessibility & disability advocate, as well as a very loud-spoken supporter of cityofdurhamnc.bsky.social Schools, in particular Durham School of the Arts (formerly Durham Magnet Center). We'll all miss you terribly.

Anyone got a fax machine? Durham County apparently lives in the early 90's still. They don't do email; I asked.

Elizabeth is such a cool human being. I love her, but I like her independently of that, too. She's witty, she sees things I don't, she expects me to follow the rules of the house (and I agree with her), she cares about people, and she's thoughtful. She still gives me a hug and kiss goodnight.

Been needing oxygen again lately. I'm so tired without it. I wonder if I caught the Covid spike around. I have an appt tomorrow with my new PCP. He's plenty good and takes me seriously.

I haven't regained the weight. He does give the Paxlovid alternative; Paxlovid and buspirone are contraindicated.
