Was talking to 6yo about death for some reason, and I was able to tell her that hell isn't a thing, doesn't exist, is made up. Yay for ending a cycle of generational trauma! I chickened out on heaven; didn't feel right to disagree w/her that Grandpa Larry and Fuzzles the cat are in the Good Place.

Resting.
The Lonesome Death of Daphy Michel
Haitian woman, 31, dies alone at Pittsburgh bus stop days after ICE released her to the streets far from home to perish. Rest in power, miss.

Israel is surrounded on all sides by wreckage, flattened buildings, wastelands of crushed cement and bent steel. Refugee camps starve in the south and north. To the east, the sewers flow with flames, filled with burning oil. And in the center, Israel, bristling with WMDs. What an image.
Vampire riding the bus. Stash of coins from ancient times, eternal life is a blessing and a curse...
But did you press on all of the bricks to find the one that opens the secret door?
I wonder what's under the hat. Another rash or bruise? Hair falling out?
"other changes", for sure.
Does the hermit crab identify with its shell, and say, "this is now me"?
Boundaries are illusory. Perception is constructed. Past, future, present, are all mental formations. Self is a created thing in our mind.
So, hermit crab, are you the shell you put on? Is that "me", now, tomorrow, forever?
One of my favorite Bible contradictions.
It's a nice day in SoCal
Passing white daisies, taking turns
Close the door, walk into the street
Catching raindrops on your tongue
And for a minute, it all stops
But it won't last, man
Just a passing moment gone
Please, please slow it down

Pretty sure I got myself on a list as a kid for getting a copy of this.
The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.
Wait, so a US House Representative attacked a protesting war veteran and badly broke his arm?! Conduct unbecoming much?? Christ.
Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

What it feels like
Has there been a democracy with split powers before ours whose congress (or parliament, knesset, whatever) has completely and enthusiastically capitulated and handed the whole bag to a despot like this?
Sigh, the news is making me so angry tonight. What the F&$K are we doing?
Just us cats, doing cat things. Look at the toe fuzz on this mf!
Talarico kind of comes across as a sleeper cell for the right-wing Christians, you know what I mean? He has one talking point that sounds progressive, about Micah 6:8 stuff and loving the immigrant, but I dunno man, makes me nervous.
Whut
More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.
Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.
Beautiful and devastating all at once.
My sleepiest, coziest little fur baby.

Floof. Oh, to have a double jointed spine!
They looked for “Don T” in the Epstein files and redacted all instances, which means they also redacted a lot of “don’t”
I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.
