This applies to travel as well. I get far more out of a week or two in a small part of a city, learning it, than I do bouncing from destination to destination with no more than a day or two in each place.
Best advice I’ve heard - if you’re lucky enough to be able to visit regularly - is don’t visit the museum; visit a room in the museum. Do some reading in advance because lord knows the labelling won’t help you much. Do the room, then leave. Rinse and repeat.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

This it, right here.
It's us against them.
Drop your phobias and isms, and care for other human beings, no matter what differences they have from you.
We are all more alike than the small difference that makes us unique.
Your differences are not flaws. They are not evil.
THEY are evil.

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify.
The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips.
Good job, friends.

I'm a massive Golden Girls fan, so I can think of no better leadership for my Adeptus Sororitas. I've been working through this concept for YEARS and I'm excited to finally have it accomplished.
Shout out to @bssterrain for the amazing head sculpts.

Okay but trying to point out misogyny or lack of merit in any picks for this administration doesn't track for me. Wayyy past that point. They don't blink.
So "convenient" how my years of watching and tracking cults are offering any clarity in this time.

Just heard from a federal employee that OPM sent what looked like a phishing email, asking them to click a link as part of a "notification system." Seems to be a way to bypass filters within agencies and have the WH communicate directly. The employees in this guy's division all tagged it as phishing
