I've been attempting to thrift a Dutch oven for over a year & 2 weeks ago, was able to purchase a new one using points. My mom sent me my Christmas present yesterday & it was ... a Dutch oven. I had never told her I was looking for one, she just thought I needed one. I am now flush in Dutch ovens.

Was not expecting a treasure trove of old surveillance artifacts from Gary T. Marx himself on the SSN listserv but boy howdy, am I grateful to be looking at these today.

Just caused myself the most psychic damage in the world by reading things I wrote as an undergrad. Makes me sad that undergrads may not experience this acute physical pain if they let AI write their work. 😅

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."
They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.
Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.
