I love that my girls buy slime—w their own money—from neighbor friends, just to be supportive, even though they make their own.

There’s only so much brow beating one can take from other countries before believing that maybe we SHOULD be isolating from the world. Gotta say, foreign upport for the resistance is…underwhelming.

I have said from Day 1 that most of these guys are killed when they land. No way they are feeding and housing that many men in that facility. It is a death camp.

There’s a great Canadian app called “Buy Beaver” (I know, eh?! 🦫) which has recently been updated to allow users to select countries to support and/or countries to boycott, by scanning bar codes as you shop. It’s free, and easy to use.

I have been cultivating crow friends all year using peanuts. It’s a slow process. They are very distrustful but I get closer every day. They now knock on the window of my office.

Sometimes, I think about how my dad’s gold-digging 3rd wife consulted lawyers before sending me—a writer—my dead dad’s unfinished novel manuscript, like it might be worth millions. Go ahead, lady, try shopping that half-draft. See how that goes.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but a psychopath doesn’t need a reason to destroy you; he doesn’t need money to want to steal yours. He will do it bc he can. Bc it’s a game. Bc you let him.

I love that when a crow discovers I have put out treats his first move is to call all his friends over instead of gorge himself on them alone. Be the crow.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library
