Finished our mushroom log plug project yesterday! It took us a month because of my interpretation of Eph’s statement, “let’s start small, like 3 logs.” “Start….. Small…..?????” *bork*

Unilever just fired the CEO of Ben & Jerry’s due to his political activism. Boycotting all their products until further notice. Here’s your cheat sheet.

Immigrants CREATE JOBS. They do not STEAL THEM. They start businesses, they hire people, and 66% of every dollar spent with them will stay in your community. HERE IN CANADA, 32% of businesses are owned by immigrants. We have 800,000 self-employed immigrants, & 250,000 of them have employees.

As we look to the future, immigrant entrepreneurs and business leaders will have an important role to play ensuring we have a growing and successful economy.

Have you heard about Riot Dogs? Strays will often join in on protests and riots, defending the protesters. One famous example of this is the revered Negro Matapacos, a Chilean riot dog. Im adding a photo of Negro Matapacos to my altar for this winter/spring, to help me channel my fear into courage.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Would anyone be interested in teaching or attending classes at my shop, Crystal Lounge? I am trying to figure out how to help right now, and skillshare classes on topics of canning, weaving, etc seem like they may be helpful. I hope we don’t NEED these skills, but they’d be good to have if we do.

Signal, though a safer form of communication, has recently been compromised/havked. Make sure you are being safe. Even moving ALL your conversations to there rather than illicit ones isn’t any safer, since AI can now read thru everything at ludicrous speeds compared to humans. Time for IN PERSON.

Via @maketheroadny.bsky.social: If ICE shows up, know your rights. “ICE does not have the right to enter your home without a valid warrant signed by a judge.” maketheroadny.org/we-protect-us/
IF ICE SHOWS UP, KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!
If immigration (ICE) comes to your door or stops you in the streets, you have rights!
1. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR
ICE does not have the right to enter your home without a valid warrant signed by a judge.
POLICE ICE
?
ICE will not always identify themselves as
ICE. If there is a knock at your door and they say "Police" it could very well be ICE.
ICE will often say they are police to gain access to homes. If at any point they try to enter, or do enter, continue to say
"I DO NOT CONSENT"
If they insist they have a warrant ask them to slip it under the door.
2. REMAIN CALM
Don't run and most importantly do not lie about your name, age, immigration status, etc.
Anything you say or do can be used against you.
If ICE questions you, under the 5th Amendment, you have the right to remain silent and to not incriminate yourself.
If you are detained, ask for an immigration attorney immediately. Although immigration does not provide attorneys, once you ask for an attorney they should no longer question you.
3. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING
Ask to have documents translated. If you do not speak English ask for an interpreter.
Have an attorney look over any documents that ICE gives you.
5. MAKE A FAMILY PLAN
If you have children, identify a caretaker.
4. RECORD
If you witness someone being detained by ICE, you have the right to record as long as you do not interfere with the arrest.
Pictures, videos, and any information you can gather, can help verify an immigration raid and also help someone's immigration case.
Make sure your family is prepared if ICE arrives at your home. Have all your personal documents and finances secure.
Make sure you have at least one number memorized in case of an emergency.
