In town for the day.
This is where I spent much of my childhood.

This is super exciting, but I’m not sure about Polly and Digory set in the 50s. I want to see the story how it was written.

Pete Hegseth reposts video that says women shouldn’t be allowed to vote Progressive evangelical group says ideas shared by pastors and amplified by defense secretary are β€˜very disturbing’

Anyone who still does not believe that the US is currently led by fascists and ultra-reactionaries should read this: Hegseth, an admirer of the Crusades, shared a video stating that women should not be allowed to vote.

I love when my four year olds are playing and I’ll call from the other room β€œhow are you guys doing?”

And invariably, my daughter responds with, β€œnothing!”

Well, I wasn’t suspicious when I asked the question, but things have dramatically changed since then…

I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. My gas mask paid for itself within the first minute the ice agents came out of the building. They escalated to this immediately, like it was a war zone- flash bombs, various gasses…

They trashed the restaurants like frat boys on drunken benders. They stole everything leaving walk ins and shelves bare.

These are the criminals. Not the immigrants. ICE are the criminals.

We're all trying to get by, in our own way.
And if your way involves thorns, darkness, weird magic, and secret meetings with the old gods in the forbidden end of the forest, so much the better.

The biggest divide is not between β€œright” and β€œleft."

It’s between democracy and oligarchy.

The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

There's a dark cloud overhead that I'm praying has some rain and stops here for a bit.
Have barely had a drop in weeks now where I am. Always juuuuust misses us.

Christmas in August.
The 80s have a reputation for being excessive and self indulgent. I remember them differently.
This is quite good.

Listen, I am open to pooling some money to buy this spooky property in Newfoundland and start a historian colony. We only need to raise 1.2 million (Canadian).
