Do not open your door for ICE officials.
Talk to them through your door. Refuse to open it.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).
You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

Nice thing today: it's the time of year when third-tier, don't-buy-the-produce grocery stores sell the best collard greens you've ever eaten

Good thing today: I just made a resolution to start out my reading year by working through my tbr bookcase in chronological order. We'll see how long that keeps me entertained.

Nice thing today: I sent my first ever voice memo. (It was about 18th-century deeds. I'm cool and do cool things)

Nice thing today: I got a Switch (first gaming console of my adult life) and am so charmed to hear whippoorwill calls in Breath of the Wild. It brings back cozy-in-retrospect memories of having one on the roof keeping me awake all night.

Being fresh out of hot takes, I'm quiet on social media these days. I thought I'd try sharing whatever nice things come my way.
Today: curried beets. Roast & peel 'em, saute with red onion & a LOT of curry powder, add honey & apple cider vinegar. If you find beets too sweet, you might like these!

Ways in which my cat resembles Morgoth, the immortal villain of the Silmarillion:
-continuously makes an unholy racket
-believes all living creatures are his playthings
-drawn to shiny objects
-inexplicably charismatic
-forever getting second chances that he does not deserve

fascism is stopped when enough people say one of two things:
1) "nah, I'm not doing that"
2) "nah, you're not doing that"
a lot of people want to imagine how they'll say the second thing, but you should *really* start practicing the first one

Since the ethics of remaining on X is front of mind right now, it seems like a good time to mention that Joe Rogan would not have the reach he has without the absolute luxury jet of a platform that Spotify provides him. Other apps have music & podcasts. Look into it. variety.com/2024/digital...
Joe Rogan’s Spotify Deal Renewal Worth Up to $250 Million, Podcast Will No Longer Be Exclusive to the Platform

It’s National Coming Out Day.
Regardless of how you choose to share (or not) the identities you occupy, when it comes to queer identity, every choice requires bravery.
Public or private. Everyone or no one. How you inhabit and share your queer self is an act of bravery and defiance.

Of my continuing speed watch of the Alien franchise, all I can say is, gosh, leave it to Whedon to author a script that's somehow markedly more sexist than the one where Ripley is trapped on an entire prison planet of rapists

FDA is set to approve the 2024-25 #COVID #vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna next week. They generate a stronger immune response to widely circulating FLiRT variants.

So I just watched Alien 3 for the first time. It was... liberatory? The next time I'm tempted to orient my creative identity around the idea of Great Art (or Artists), I will try to remember how much I infinitely preferred Alien 3 (the "worst" Alien) to Aliens (acclaimed, or so Reddit tells me)

The history of Hanukah involves Jews waging war in the Land of Israel.
There will be a lot of people with a lot of takes.
This can’t be the year that I elide the hard stuff about the Maccabees’ war, or any war, with metaphors, you know?
This can’t be the year it gets sidestepped.

i don't know why this is so hard for people. biweekly means you are attracted to your own week and also other weeks
Can we all just agree that “biweekly” means every other week, and “twice-weekly” means twice a week? Or better yet, just get rid of “biweekly” altogether?
