Hey all, here's zine about how to do Jury Nullification canvassing and outreach.

It's easy to just tell people they can acquit as jurors, but our goal should be to effectively reach the right people AND get them successfully selected as jurors.

Underrated thing that's been flying under the radar: ICE's hiring spree, by necessity since there are so few others willing and able, has been hiring away local cops, which infuriates the departments by causing manpower problems and is, ironically, removing the worst of the worst from their ranks.
The more local police see ICE assholes as criminals, the better it will be for us.
ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say.
"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

Sometimes living through historic eras is just saying “yooooooo wtf” for the rest of your life. I don’t make the rules.

I read a lot of (probably fake) “AITA” stories when I’m unable to sleep but too brain dead to actually focus on anything. Idk how it happened, Facebook just started showing me a bunch and the light, fake gossip is perfect for my half asleep brain.

Anyway, no one seems to get the assignment.

Still can’t get over the use of Kiplings “Boots” in 28 Years Later. Like fuck Kiplings colonizer ass, but that was fucken powerful.

My coworkers keep getting suddenly concerned bc they can “smell smoke” and I don’t think I can figure out another way to say “yeah that’s because of all the smoke.”

Tbf I keep thinking “why is my throat burning, I’m smoking fewer cigs than usual.” And then I remember…

Lost power and I’m ngl I love that this happens every couple of months here. I’m having the most relaxed night in a while. Can’t put on my shows. Ate a basic dinner. Broken out of my shitty depressing routines. Just vibing by candle light and feeling no pressure to get anything done post-shift.

Languages are so weird. I’m getting some of my German back by learning Irish XD Because when my brain doesn’t know something in Irish yet, it reaches for “non English way to say this” and the German is just there!

Everything sucks and the world is grinding me down. But the local radio plays a fish report from a general store.

Also just got trolled by the “snow forecast” Facebook group with a “lol of course no snow tomorrow” post. What does it say about the climate that I had to check?

Did a camping for the weekend. Met rescued bears. My wife insisted on anime posing next to “bussy” on the falls. She also caught 2 fish to my NONE. 10/10 weekend.

Sorry if I’ve cracked y’all but yes I’m preparing for WWIII by getting my fairy house in order. I do feel slightly safer!

(This post is about self care in the form of engaging with hobbies to avoid burnout :PP But also my literal belief in magic which you can pry from cold dead mystical hands :) )

I just finally got to watch Fréwaka! It’s on Shudder now. Holy shit.

I have so many thoughts but the only one that feels safe to share right now is: I recognized a lot of Irish phrases and feel good about my progress with the language.
