Choose love.
Choose books, both fun & powerful.
Choose a vehicle capable of outrunning the law, and fill it with banned books and friends who excel at a certain kind of mischief.

Poor bunnies...their phenology is completely mismatched this year because there is no snow anywhere. I hope they don't get wiped out by predators! Come on snow!

they're just doing other horrible policy changes in the coast guard, that the swastika policy was basically a footnote of.

Coast Guard disputes claim new guidelines no longer consider swastikas hate symbols The Coast Guard said suggestions it no longer prohibits extremist imagery like swastikas are ‘categorically false’
