First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now theyโve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors.
This ainโt about law and order.
This is what authoritarianism looks like.

Watching the OceanGate documentary. My gods, the arrogance. I think we paused it a dozen times within the first 20 minutes and just looked at each other in "Whaaaaattheactualfffffff????"
Also, so freaking glad Josh Gates didn't ignore his Spidey Sense and went down in the fateful trip.

Thank you for coming to my spelling TedTalk.
I've tasked myself as "Keeper of Knowledge": buying history books (physical, not ebook) that I feel could be important for the future. I saw another post here that mentioned science books and that's not something I thought of! Now to determine which specialties I should start with.

(Also, they have a serious lack of fear. Some of those ladder angles make me extremely nervous!)
Unfortunately 2/3 of voting Americans are okay with it, as we just found out (the 1/3 who voted for this and the 1/3 who didn't vote but in essence voted for this) ๐

Whooo! Kind of feel sorry for the movers when they eventually have to move my manymanymanymany boxes of books :)
Chris and I have been watching some '80s fantasy movies the past week - Willow, Beastmaster, Time Bandits, that sort of stuff.
