Feeling all cozy standing at the stove sautéing broccoli and onions for a casserole

Work was surprisingly busy despite the city and all the courts being closed. Still came home early though, the roads are iffy in places.

Here in WV they put the machine guns on trains and shot up the coal camps. It’s happened before, it could happen again.

Mist forward and Unrivaled Co-founder Breanna Stewart held up a sign with two words during intros today: “Abolish Ice.”

It’s gross

Made it down the hill, across town, up and down Bridge Rd, barely got back up the hill. I would not go out again now that it’s dark.

Power’s still on for now but we just lost a big big branch from the magnolia tree

Barely any snow here, but lots of ice… my road is still covered but the interstate is moving slowly and I can see downtown is at least partially clear (benefit of living on my hill, I have a decent view of most of the Kanawha Valley from the Capitol to the Fort Hill bridge)

Oh this is amazing 🤣 I needed that laugh, thank you

I’ll stop posting about soccer now, but you can just assume the USWNT is scoring more goals.

Another goal for the USWNT! 3-0! But as I typed this Trinity Rodman just scored again! 4-0!

Malligator placated by toy destruction and large bone… we can have a little peace now but it won’t last long

The soccer is going really well by the way, the US is up 2-0 in the early second half.

The USWNT is playing (soccer) against Paraguay right now! Happy to have a US-related thing I can enjoy. I need to still enjoy things.

The first snowflakes are falling!

Beautiful! I am blown away that this is a woodblock print.

The Bigley Piggly Wiggly still has propane! 🙌

Got the last propane heater at Walmart but had to hear a guy talking about how he would’ve murdered Renee Good too if she’d tried to run him over

Prepared for snow, but now it’s looking like more ice than snow, and everybody and their brother is out this morning trying to find kerosene and propane heaters so naturally they’re all out of stock. Activate power outage anxiety!

Holy shit

This scrolled by on my screen, and it seemed very appropriate to the moment.

A Belgian Malinois sits on a couch with some socks and a deer antler around her, looking at the camera with her ears alert and mouth partially open, about to bark

So much bark, so many treasures

The Malligator is already at max level for barking, stealing socks, and being offended by the mere presence of the other dogs, and we’ve only been up an hour! It’s going to be a day.

FEMA’s being told not to warn people of impending ice in case it turns into a meme 🤦‍♀️

ICE raid at Nitro's Rio Grande restaurant shows humanity at its worse • West Virginia Watch On Friday, Jan.16, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents entered Rio Grande in Nitro, West Virginia, allegedly through the ceiling.

COMMENTARY: It’s tempting to turn ICE operations into a debate about laws, to treat them like an abstract policy question. Level-headed debate over policy is fair. But before we can have that debate, we must tell the truth: that ICE’s cruelty is the point, writes Rev. Cindy Briggs-Biondi.

Oh the photos of anti-ICE Minnesota make my heart happy! Such an extra good feeling these days

We got a couple feet of snow in WV the week after my bday in 1993. Our power went out and we opened the back door to a wall of snow and dug out a space for the fridge contents. Kerosene heater. It was awesome.
