I have never seen the air quality this bad. So grateful to the firefighters and responders who are dealing with all the fires.

ICE hides flight info because if they can get detainees to detention hubs in the south before lawyers and family can locate them, they face harsher courts. But jurisdiction doesn’t change until the flight lands. That’s where this tracking tool comes in. 1/ gillianbrockell.com/habeas-fligh...

Habeas Flight Watch: New tool helps track ICE flights to your city
Activists have been quietly piloting a live map of ICE flights to help immigration attorneys with habeas filings. Now they say it's ready for everyone to use.

Am reading David Copperfield. Chapter 38 has a wonderful description of the perplexities of learning shorthand. I did try once upon a time but wasn’t able to master it. It would have come in handy. I like taking notes and I keep a journal. It’s a secret code. #booksky #reading

I’m having guests for lunch tomorrow. Some are maggots. I just rehung some quilts on my quilt wall. Really doubt they’ll get the subliminal message. More info in the alt text . #quilts #quiltsky
Quilts on quilt wall. Sunflowers for Ukraine plus 4 freedoms I cherish. Family, friends, faith and freedom. Family and Friends. There are buttons on each of these. 
At the top of Family are bugs. Lots of bugs. I should have added nuts.   
There’s a skunk in the camp ground scene that is a reminder of one of many campouts with my kids. 
The Friends quilt was the first and came as a kit. The others were all using scraps from my fabric stash. 
Each quilt is about 14” square. 
Faith is very important to me. 
There are flowers growing in each little quilt and each quilt has either 1 or 2 gnomes. 
Freedom gives us rights to make the choices we have such as who our friends are, whether to have families or not and how or what we worship.

I play Jigsolitaire and love the photos. Here’s a photo that would fit right in. It’s the ceiling in the waiting room of my dermatologist where I’m getting some suntan scars (precancerous) things burned off. #photo

fs.blog/the-antilibr... The Antilibrary: The Hidden Value of Unread Books The legendary Italian writer Umberto Eco had over 50,000 books in his private library. When asked why so many, he had this to say: "It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy..."

DH and I are both down with Flu A. Nasty stuff. Worse than Covid. Still spreadable for a week post symptoms which may be why it spreads so rampantly. Will be isolating till the week after being symptom free. Stay healthy, friends.

Shadow Patriots by Lucia St. Claire Robson. An historically accurate account of the war for independence in 1776. A great book to read for our 250th birthday. I’ve loved all of her books. Tokaido Road is my favorite #luciastclairrobson #books #reading

Holding 3 thoughts. The need to honour a life well lived cut horrifically short by ICE. The hope that something cuts through to those whose identities seem wedded to supporting the violence. That everyone, regardless of background or circumstances, should be safe from being shot in the street.

I don’t do resolutions. Instead I set goals. If I do them then great. If not they roll over to the next year. For 2026 I’m adding a new one. I’ll keep a list of Books I’ve read. I have lots in my TBR pile. Hopefully that will inspire me to read more. I’m a list maker. It’s how I get things done.
