Imbolc wooly wash: trying that thing of burying woolies in fluffy cold snow to clean them. I used to wash all the sweaters by hand at this time but tbh I've mostly been doing them in the machine these days.

Two books on a wood table: Doctor Who and Philosophy: Bigger on the Inside edited by Courtland Lewis and Paula Smithka, and El Señor de los Anillos by JRR Tolkien, translated by Luis Domènech

Prevention > Cure
Unless it's in a glass of lemonade on a hot summer day, ICE sucks.

I'm interpreting for someone at their road test for the first time today, please pray for us!

Unrelated(ish) but I can hear Tricky in my head singing "getting a visa card nowadays ain't hard"

Sometimes I love translating transcripts and sometimes, like today, it just bores me to tears.

Farm workers hand planting blackberry bushes

"Sonia" is hand planting blackberry plants. "Without a tractor, this is tough work. We have to do everything manually, bending over the entire time. By the end of the day, my hands are really sore and my lower back hurts a lot. It's hard work, but we get it done." #WeFeedYou

If only I could take this with me in a time machine back to my stripper days...

"Guillermo" shared this video from where he was picking strawberries in Oxnard CA on New Year's Day for minimum wage in strong winds. "There are no paid holidays here; I take a day off, I don't get paid." #WeFeedYou

No idea what's coming, but my life is so good today and I am grateful

It's my birthday! So far I slept 11 hours, ate smoked salmon on bagel, opened some gifts from my family, read Witches Abroad by Terry Pratchett in the hammock by the wood stove, took a nap, and ate another bagel.

I started Javier Guerrero's Spanish translation of Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir over Thanksgiving break. I just finished it right now, and I'm pretty blown away.

A grey stone step with a black and yellow warning stripe and a spiral fossil in the stone

I have some profound feelings about the fossils in our state buildings. This is my ancient friend at the DMV.

It only took four of us making a two-minute public comment about the library at the city council meeting for the councilors to restore the funding the mayor’s office had cut.

We’re not opposed to TECHNOLOGY, we’re opposed to management using technology to exploit labour without any regard for the physical or emotional wellbeing of workers.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

RIP Claude
