I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

On his first Father’s Day, Mahmoud Khalil will sit in a detention center 1,500 miles away from his wife and newborn son, as punishment for speaking out in support of Palestinian rights.

None of this is meant to suggest anyone avoids medications which help them. The side effects are often subtle or nonexistent, and we need these drugs for valid reasons. It’s just information worth having, especially if it helps you take it easier on yourself.

Drugs which can sensitize your skin to the sun are a whole additional thing, including some suuuuper common drugs like NSAIDs (ibuprofen/Advil and its cousins), antihistamines (like Benadryl), birth control pills & estrogens, antibiotics, and meds for high cholesterol.

Building up heat tolerance works for some people, but not everyone. It’s nothing to be ashamed of if you need more breaks to stay healthy, or if the heat takes you out of commission. Though it absolutely does suck not being able to do everything you’d like.

This is your periodic reminder that many psych meds impact your body’s ability to regulate your temperature and cope with heat.
Everyone has different limits, and it’s ok if your body can’t safely do what others can.
SSRIs, SNRIs, amphetamines, benzos and antipsychotics can all do this.

I’ve finally gotten all my clothes out of vacuum bags! It only took me … *checks notes* … 9 months. Wow.

Bluesky … you clearly don’t sync well with my neurotransmitters. And yet, I feel deep existential panic at the crumbling of my communities. (Or the retreating behind closed doors which feels/looks like crumbling from the outside.)
So here I am again, clutching straws. 🙄

I'm just a poor country political historian and not some big city media fella, but it *does* seem like a slightly big deal that the leader of the United States presented comically faked "evidence" in the Oval Office to justify his power to disappear ordinary people into a Central American prison?
Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Trump's universal 10% tariffs, and the massive tax hike for everyday people they represent, are still on.
The fact that he paused most of the even higher ones shouldn't cause people to overlook that fact or allow the goalposts to change.

The world’s richest people added $304 billion to their combined net worth after Trump pledged to pause tariffs for some countries. It was the largest one-day jump ever.

over the side of a merchant class vessel into the Boston Harbor and be free of him.
But throwing trash in the ocean is environmentally unsound. What’s a country to do? 😔

Thoughts During The Crumble:
Huh. I should probably stop using the dryer. At least for clothes. Remember how LONG clothes lasted (even cheap crap) in my old life? Remember how many 15-year-old garments died soon after returning to America?
There’s a lot of make do and mend on the horizon.
