CR📚: Fair Play
Important act of solidarity with other (actual) thrifters: Cut off the name brand tags before donating. I do this anyhow cause they itch! Nothing at these shops, especially goodwill, should be as expensive as it is right now.

I'm making an effort this year to read more authors from outside of the USA. Turns out most of my 5 and 4.5 star reads are from those with nationalities elsewhere, and look how colorful my chart is so far! #booksky

Washingtonians, I’m proud of Senator Murray right now if you’d like to give Senator Cantwell’s office a call and urge her to join the obstructive protest speech, they are answering phones at 206-220-6400. Her DC office is (202) 224-3441, but I wanted to speak to a human!

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

"most of the people still masking are among the strongest, most self-assured people I’ve known...They are also among the most alienated, judged, ignored, harassed, invisibilized, and forgotten."

Yes, we are.

You should DEFINITELY NOT go to this site & mess with this DOGE survey by the Heritage Foundation.

Definitely do NOT put fake information where they ask for your personal details.

That would fuck up all their shit, man.

These people are doing SERIOUS WORK.

My latest: "The more often we have experienced true helplessness, the more likely we are to feel powerless in situations where action is possible. And the more we freeze or flail in response to threats, the more deeply ingrained those responses become."

Here I react to the shameful behavior of American leaders and media toward the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.
