β€˜Parishioners excused.’

That’s how bad it is. A Catholic bishop lifted the obligation to attend Mass because ICE might raid the church.

Mass isn’t required β€œif a member of the faithful has a genuine fear of immigration enforcement actions.”

The feds should be ashamed. Terrorizing the faithful.

Hear me out, if #TaylorSheridan is looking for S2 material, a Landman/Lioness cross-over where ICE detains the entire oil crew and Lioness has to go fight a facist regime (ours) to free them.

An Echo of Autumn
β€œHey, watch where you’re going!”
β€œOh my god, I am so sorry,” I said, placing one hand over my mouth as I stared in horror at the man in front of me. A super cute man with floppy hair and dimples. For once, I was at fault in a collision, and it had to be with this guy.

Building Community I live in a small town. Is it the second largest town in the state? Yes. But is that state West Virginia? Also, yes. Huntington gets a bad reputation from the even smaller towns surrounding it because, gasp, unhoused people are allowed to exist here. The drugs! The theiving! The litter! These other towns would never allow such a thing. And you know, yes, these things happen.

Books, stickers, and too many hobbies. At the end of last year I switched from Adobe software to using Affinity, which included Designer and Publisher in the bundle that I purchased.Β  Now, I've used the Designer software multiple times and while it does not have all of the features that Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator had, it also doesn't charge me $60 a month.Β  Publisher, however was a whole new experience for me.

This may be the most beautiful sign I have seen at one of these (even though the subject matter is so ugly). The artist who painted it said she started it feeling angry and it was therapeutic. Especially love the bling. #HandsOffLA

It’s been said before, but I’ll say it here. You don’t pay an agent or publisher, ever. They pay you.

An Echo of Autumn
"I think we may need some paper towels,” Dario said, arms crossed as we watched Dimples walk away.
β€œNo, we have some at home.”
β€œI meant right now, for all that drool.”
He was smart enough to step away before I could punch him in the arm.

(An Echo of Autumn)
I made a quick tour of the hall and parking lot but didn't see anything out of place or anyone lurking in the shrubbery.
"The coast is clear."
Pansy opened the door and looked both ways before snatching the bouquet and slamming the door shut.
