Clipped text message: "I will send Stephen Miller to the Hague"

I think this is the first time I've ever felt compelled to read more than one sentence of a political spam text.

So much different from the usual "Stephen Colbert DESTROYS Trump blah blah blah go donate money at www.votebluenomatterwho.scam"

Lice Lady: $75,000
I mostly work in Manhattan and Brooklyn, around the Park Slope area, where there are lots of kids. We go house to house, and we also do school checks and camp checks. We get paid by appointment. If a family is fully infested, it takes two or three hours — it’s around $150 to $225 per head, depending on hair length and severity of infestation. Tips are very individual. You might get $100 or maybe $20. Or maybe $10. You never know. I made around $2,000 to $3,000 in tips last year. But I’m so grateful for everything. I have a daughter; she’s 8 years old. She’s living in Georgia, my home country. This is such a hard time for me, but I’m so happy that I get to have contact with kids all day. It’s a lot of fun.

(It's a lot of fun highlighted for emphasis)

Props to the Lice Lady for finding joy in her work, because that sounds viscerally unpleasant to me

News today: Wisconsin Justice Ziegler, a conservative up for reelection NEXT spring, just announced she won’t seek reelection.

That means that if liberals win a seat next month, they’ll then have a golden opportunity to pick ANOTHER seat next spring and go up… 6-1!

I have to say, it’s just a really weird experience to live in a country that you know is the bad guy.

In FY2022 the federal government spent $21 billion on universal free school meals (breakfast and lunch) to K-12 students across our whole beautiful country from sea to shining sea for the whole year.

That’s like 3 weeks worth of this stuff 👇🏻

A needle-tipped pen with a clear body and no grip.

My go-to in recent years has been the Pilot Hi-Tec-C (aka G-Tec-C) 0.4mm

The difference between 0.4mm and 0.5mm is probably more placebo than anything, but I like the slightly thinner tip

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.
Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Sahar Delijani said it best:

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
