They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.
Instead of hiring more immigration judges, the Department of Justice just posted an ad for "deportation judges." join.justice.gov

Apparently all you needed to do to predict the NYC election results was read that one N.K. Jemisin novel.

For writing on note pads, I've long liked notepads with the vertical line a few inches from the left side. TIL this is called "Pitman Ruled" paper, as it was created for use with a shorthand system created by Isaac Pitman in 1837.

A great reminder
If someone puts a good meal in front of you, savor it; feel the joy flooding through you. Wait until between meals to think about the hungry and help them.
If you are in a warm embrace, bask in love and luck without shame. In quieter moments, think of the lonely and send them a message.

my therapist: sometimes you simply have to experience an emotion instead of thinking about it
me, nodding sagely: and then it goes away
therapist: well not necessarily
me, shaking my head furiously: no, I don't like that
me, nodding sagely: and then it goes away
therapist: well not necessarily
me, shaking my head furiously: no, I don't like that
Me: I just don't understand why I can't just out-think my anxiety and emotions and simply react and respond in the most ideal way every single time and never feel bad

What I call Serfdom of the Self is when our identities, attention, and even emotions become dependent on digital systems we don’t control. We hand over more of our inner lives to these systems, and in return they decide the conditions of our existence.
