Ways to Resist (a list)

It feels as if we're doomed, but we have to keep resisting. There's no one to come to our rescue except us.

May the anti-ICE movement continue to spread nationwide!

This is the Los Angeles spirit your news broadcast isn’t showing…

Thou Shalt Not Fire Reporters for Standing Against Fascism Or fire AT them.

Thou Shalt Not Fire Reporters for Standing Against Fascism.

Hey America,
just a friendly reminder:

A quote from @jimacosta.bsky.social ... when he left CNN . . .

Stand with Terry Moran
and 🖕 Trump's fascist regime !

I stand with Terry Moran.

Thou Shalt Not Fire Reporters for Standing Against Fascism.

That the United States is not only sanctioning such shocking inhumanity, but is also *paying* for it, is so despicable.

And that silence you hear is not one conservative "Christian" speaking out against it.

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

The abuser’s classic playbook is to isolate you from your friends, create a sense of helplessness, make it difficult to connect with others and force you to simply think about your survival from one day to the next. We are seeing that playbook applied to the nation as a whole.

75% of US scientists who answered Nature poll consider leaving More than 1,600 readers answered our poll; many said they were looking for jobs in Europe and Canada.

Quick reminder: @elonmusk isn’t the leader of a country at war, and didn’t wear a tie in the White House and wore a stupid cap

feels like at this point the entire Trump administration could carve swastikas into their foreheads and the media would be all 'let's not rush to judgement'

Sock darning on a small loom

Doing boring things to distract myself from the awfulness taking place in DC today. Boring activity #1 is teaching myself to use a Speedweave loom using my ugliest sock (it's a horrid color, but it's wool, so I'm trying to save it).

I just finished binge watching the first season of Severance. What a treat! (And yes, I was the last person on earth to see it. That's because I watched it old school on a dvd).

Gitts Crazy dahlia

It's a cold day in Chicago (although it's nice that it's getting dark later each day). Dreaming of spring. This dahlia is Gitts Crazy. It was a late bloomer for me, but worth the wait.

Me: Dancing as if no one’s watching.

I hope you enjoy it. The main character is so much fun.

Boxed set of books

I was gifted a boxed set of The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, and I am totally hooked. So glad there are more books after these.

Former President Jimmy Carter, our 39th POTUS, has passed at the age of 100. Bless that sweet wonderful man. May his memory forever be a blessing. 💔

Loving the fact that we're past the winter solstice. Even if we don't really notice a change for a while, it already feels lighter.

This sums it up, yes.

Campbell’s witty response to this homophobe makes me want to enjoy some of their delicious chicken noodle soup right now! 🍜 🏳️‍🌈

Caribbean Fantasy Dahlia Tuber

I received an email from Flower Feather Farm in Washington state, and this is one of the dahlia tubers they're selling with a fall shipping date. I really want this dahlia, but...not until spring. I don't trust myself to keep it in good shape until planting time.

So happy that we're only a few days away from the winter solstice when the days begin to get longer.
