And on September 2!

True that, and it's also so damn fucking exhausting. I suspect the two things go hand and hand, both as strategy and outcome.

Winooski Superintendent Detained, Questioned by Border Officials Superintendent Wilmer Chavarria, a U.S. citizen, was questioned for hours at a Houston airport as he returned from a visit to Nicaragua with his husband.

"They falsely stated that I, a U.S. citizen, have no Constitutional rights at a point of entry, and officers became increasingly agitated as I continued to assert my rights regardless."

Death, impermanence, and cake
The afterlife of trees

Here's our latest newsletter, which accompanied the video release.

Congratulations, Janna!

Like your double entendres!
