First edition (1930) dust jacket image of “Swallows and Amazons” by Arthur Ransome. This is a book set in the Lake District of England, about children who go adventuring on their own, messing about in boats, that I read over and over as a child
Image of the book “Wind in the Willows” by Kenneth Grahame, published in 1908, a children’s book featuring Rat, Mole, Badger and Toad. I read this so often as a child, it was one of my comfort books
“Wind in the Willows”, 1908, and “Swallows and Amazons” 1930

I’m asking ICE to curl up and die like a salted slug.
I’m asking for everyone who directed them to spend the rest of their natural lives in prison.
And I’m asking for every quisling Democrat to walk the earth with ceaseless and unavoidable scorn.
Those are my demands.

a recent post from @effinbirds shows a drawing of a penguin in profile to the right of the word “FUCK” in decorative white capital letters against a middle blue background, the “effin birds” signature just below the K. The penguin stands in a neutral way but seems to convey a relatable sense of dismay

I wish we could force a vote of no confidence like Britain and Canada. Perhaps an amendment is in order, if we still have a constitution once this regime is over

P.S. There's currently a national blood shortage. So if folks are able to, check into donating. It could be whole blood, platelets, even plasma in some cases.

Picture of a black Mini Cooper Countyman from the front, covered in ice and snow, with a zillion tiny icicles hanging beneath the bumper. The car is called George, befitting an English car

This one goes out to the family and friends of Alex Pretti - a son of the watershed. Words can not express the horror of what ICE did on Saturday. May his memory guide all in changing the US federal government to be truthful, transparent & for the people

I love Frostbeard Studio in Uptown, which has the best candles and bookish gifts. They’ve been forced to hold visits by appointment-only due to fascist thugs overrunning their city.
Here’s where you can shop online to help them out.

Can Playing Tetris Make Trauma Easier to Manage?
Research suggests that playing a video game could actually help reduce some symptoms of trauma.
It is ok not to watch the videos. It is ok not to watch them again and again. If you do watch, research shows that playing a game like tetris can short circuit the trauma response of intrusive memories.
We all need to stay as strong as possible.

CBS News: Federal government watchdogs deny Duckworth's request for joint probe of immigration agents' use of force
Our independent watchdogs are failing the American people.
ICE has attacked citizens, cops and kids in Chicago.
They are killing people in Minneapolis.
Then turn around and lie to our faces.
If this pattern of abuse doesn't warrant a joint investigative task force, what does??
