I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers.

Easy money, no risk.

Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime.

The crossover front was a popular bodice treatment around 1910, to suggest a softer more fluid style of dress. This embroidered electric blue was purchased from Liberty of London for £4 4s by a Mrs Rolls. Sold via #kerrytaylorauctions #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

And here it is, after long labor, my essay on Titus Groan, the fifth in my Ballantine Adult Fantasy reading series. Here, I focus on the role of ritual and power, as well as the mysterious story of Keda and the Mud Dwellers. Writing this convinced me that Peake is genius and I look forward to more.

Cuteness level: off the charts 😍

There are good people in the world; residents in my part of Dublin put up these standing cupboards to swap books. It’s always a pleasure to inspect their contents & even more rewarding to add to them. I brought about 50 books one day, they were all gone two days later, all replaced with others.

Sunset this evening.

Politicians hide themselves away.
They only started the war.
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor.
Time will tell on their power minds.
Making war just for fun,
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
Wait 'till their judgment day comes...
- Ozzy Osbourne, "War Pigs"

NYC friends: this poor dog was almost on his freedom ride out of the pound when his foster didn't show up on him. He's now in danger of being put down. Do you have space in your home and heart to adopt him? ❤️

Also, lots of animals at this NYC shelter who need a home.

Bombing for peace is like burning books to promote literacy.
