It is absolutely worth reading this whole thread and the previous thread analyzing the magazine drama, truly a balm in these troubled times

No, Mr. Pak: They expect us to die.

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not.

LAW dork = I am certain that someone thought this was particularly witty when they came up with the name, but it's honestly one of the more offensive possibilities these hateful authoritarians could have used. Even on its face, using the name of a beloved children's book as the name of your anti-immigrant, mass-arrest operation is appalling. But, to use a book authored by E.B. White as your name is an offense to history. White was a leading voice for American democracy and freedom and against fascism and tyranny. Abusing his life's work like this cannot stand without a response.

When DHS dared to call its anti-immigrant racial profiling weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” I knew I was going to have to write about it.

Tonight, at Law Dork, here it is: www.lawdork.com/p/gregory-bo...

@fallenlights.net was kind enough to share this with me, and thus, I spread the wealth.

Ah, it may be time to start using that “bog witch” handle I snagged a while back

The espresso message of the day

As if “a lot” could ever be a bad thing in the context of after eight

So valid

This is always a good move

I’m bit concerned that I did

Santa hat fetish?

Not me zooming in trying to figure out if that’s a…Santa?!?

I’m right here smiling in the Bad Person Club with you

This is a librarian with a secret: she comes from a cursed family and if she should swallow a bite of chocolate, she’d be transformed into an unspeakable horror. She can’t stand it one day and takes the tiniest bite, savoring it on her tongue, intending to spit it out and rinse her mouth out but

been awhile since I felt a literal chill down my spine but this honestly scared the shit out of me

So we’re on regular flood warning and flash flood warning this morning, that’s fun.

Blue stands at the open door, looks back at me with sad eyes, and whines softly to say “please make the rain stop.” He spends a while looking out, clearly contemplating his bladder capacity, then rushes out and rushes in once he’s done to stand patiently for as long as I want to dry him off.

My dogs have very different reactions to the torrential downpour. Lemonberry insists on going out anyway and then stands at the door getting more soaked because she doesn’t care if she gets wet and doesn’t like getting dried off with the towel.

I have a fasting blood draw this morning and the earliest appointment was 8 and I just want my coffee. I woke up at 4:30 and I have now boiled water, put it in a cup, and dunked a tea bag in it three times so I have the illusion of tea but it won’t affect my results

I wish we had some kind of moderate precipitation but every time we get rain we are on flood watch

Don’t panic, everyone, but there is WATER falling out of the SKY #socalliving

Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet.

Kaweah Lake, in central California with red pillars of light over the mountain range from the aurora borealis.

A little bit of excitement from last night. The northern lights very rarely ever make it down into central California. Had to go out and see what I could capture.
