The Artemis landing was brilliant and moving. I was unprepared for how many times they would say front porch. Or hazardous gasses for that matter.

I really love this project, especially the step that involves going back to confirm that you've accurately captured these neighborhoods from the people who lived here. It is important on an historical--and human--level.

Seeing all the Easter bonnet posts made me think of one of my favorite children's books, Jenny's Hat by Ezra Jack Keats. A gorgeous collection of collage, marbled paper, and watercolor. Enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=spHj...

I didn't take great photos yesterday at #noKings Clintonville. I'll admit I found it hard to navigate the crowd due to tearing up a bit. Seeing you all was good. We are not meant to feel so alone.

I waffle on the purpose of protests--voices screaming into a void, to the powerful intent on not hearing, on not seeing. But I do see this--that protests are for people to see one another. The folk seeing, bearing witness to the community, called upon to tell the tale. Go forth and see.

My weather app interrupted me to tell me to be aware of "howling winds". Is this a technical term? Maybe I won't be able to hear my unrelenting lineup of Teams meetings over the howling. "Are you beset by wolves?" "NO! JUST THOSE WINDS AGAIN!" Maybe I shouldn't conduct meetings on the tundra.

There is nothing in this excerpt that isn’t happening right now in America. #ICEGestapo #TrumpNazis

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes.
They're allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they're robbed of these possessions on the way.
Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone."
From The Diary of Ann Frank,
January 13, 1943

Here is your Librarian verified easy ICE in Columbus resource guide, collected from several trusted sources. You can report their presence here: iceout.org/en/ stopicealert.ddns.net And here are some infographics to keep handy:

How to accurately record ice activity. Remember the salute method for reporting ice sightings: Ohio number: 419-777-4357. S: Size of group of officers, ex: six or more. A: actions/activity: what are they doing? Ex: outside of cars, talking to each other. L: location: address or street names. Ex: mock Park, corner of mock road and century drive. U: uniform/clothes: look for letters ex: all black, with ballistic vests that say DHS T: time/date ex: 11:40 a.m., December 18th, E: equipment/weapons ex: two people with zip ties on belts, forearm, two black unmarked SUVs

Know your power, what to do if you see someone being detained, whistle. Keep a whistle in your car or purse. Blow it to alert the area that ice is near or to draw attention to what's going on. Record film horizontally, narrate what's happening, date, time. It is legal to record. See next slide. Advise. Remind the person being detained that they have legal rights regardless of citizenship. Tell them not to speak unless it's to a lawyer. Pass. Call out to the person "Is there someone I can call for you?". Call immediately so the family can get legal help. Tell them you recorded the event

Know your power. How to effectively record a video. One : ask permission to record from the person being detained. Get their name. Two: Ensure audio and video camera is on in filming horizontally. Three: get information of the officer's name, badge and agency. Four: narrate the date, time, and location of the event. Five: contact family member, report to 419-777-4357

Know your rights, educate, make fliers. If ice agents show up at your door. 1) you do not have to open the door. If you do, Stay calm-you have rights. 2) ask what they are there for( and ask for an interpreter if you need one). 3) if they ask to enter, ask if they have a warrant signed by a judge and if so ask to see it (through a window or slipped under the door). 4) if they do not have a warrant signed by a judge you may refuse to let them in. Ask them to leave any information at your door. 5) if they force their way in, do not resist. tell everyone in the residents to remain silent. 6) if you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent. Do not sign anything until you speak with a lawyer.

Today my kid came home from school crying because ICE was there, had taken some kids. He doesn't understand why adults are standing by, letting it happen. He's worried "we won't make it" through the current administration. He's worried they will come for him when they run out of others. He's angry.

It's hard to say which grocery is more cutthroat* at the holidays--Weilands (Columbus) or Heinen's (Cleveland, specifically Green Rd.). I've been rammed by an old woman with a cart at Heinen's. Lots of bumping, football like, at Weilands. *The clientele, of course. The staff at both are lovely.
