I was just laying out drying dishes, and knocked one of those stemless wine glasses off the counter. I made this anime-like catch without even looking at it! I'm on fire today! Now, back to bed.

He says you should cuddle more. With someone, a plushie, or just by yourself. Under a comfy blankie. That one is a must. He doesn't make the rules, he's just the messenger. Don't shoot the messenger... but maybe cuddle him.

Being unhoused is only a crime of the local politics failing to provide adequate housing people can afford. If capitalism & capitalist policies worked, homeless shelters & food banks wouldn't need to exist at all. Fine the employers paying poverty wages. Haul their asses into hearings, too.

A lot of horror movies actually make really transparent political statements if you have even the tiniest bit of social consciousness. This one is called Slice. 7 minutes in, & they've "invented" segregation & introduced the Cassandra.

So sad to watch men medically abuse themselves like this just because they "believe" that they're "cis". Making life altering decisions about their God-given bodies instead of learning to love themselves. We need to be able to ask reasonable questions about the safety of these practices.

🧵 if it is a mainstream idea, you need to think about it twice: I often mention how liberalism presents itself as opposition to the right & co-opts topics, language & concepts, to a point where Western leftists internalize and adopt the same things. #news #worldnews #liberals #leftists #politics

At Camp East Montana, an ICE detainee's death was ruled a homicide after guards "restrained" him. Federal investigators later found missing or destroyed evidence, while the camp's contractor failed to provide required use-of-force and death reports.

A detainee's death at ICE's largest camp was ruled a homicide. GAO found the evidence 'missing or destroyed'
Camp East Montana opened without the inspection ICE policy requires. Three men held there died within six weeks. Across the country, people shot by immigration agents are often the ones charged.

What are ARC readers saying about The Witch of the Wood? Take a look! It's short, but intense! A cozy horror fantasy with a MM romance! 🖤 Uni: books2read.com/u/bw6gwP Itch: applesncinnamon.itch.io/the-witch-of...
Over the background of a dark forest, the cover of The Witch of the Wood by Alex Larkspur with the blurb of the book next to it. 
 
What ARC Readers are saying about 
The Witch of the Wood 

“A journey into forgiveness and accountability while also an exploration of the strength of love and understanding between people and the world around them.”  

“This little story packs such a punch! My personal opinion, it's a great example of a dark fantasy.”

“Expect visceral descriptions, flowing imagery, and a beautifully crafted world that drips with stunning if a little bit terrifying scenes of the woods in disrepair.”

“ A short and bittersweet delight of a novella.”

“A wonderful tale about hidden strengths and forgiveness.”

Emma Goldman once said that if voting changed anything, it would be illegal. But the necessary corollary to that is the most important votes ARE the ones they try to make illegal. Those are the votes that most matter - because they CAN change things.

Gaza is under siege. Most donated aid is sitting at the border rotting. Orgs there rely on the tunnels just as much as families do. Orgs can't reach everywhere as fast as they're needed. The families themselves already know what is needed and where. They can make direct requests to smugglers.
