Took a little social media break over the weekend and cannot recommend it enough. The horrors will persist with or without your engagement. And remember, most of the work is happening offline. Take a break and get into your local community action groups.
Someone just called in ICE knocking doors in Uptown and within 5 minutes maybe 100 people had arrived. Probably a false alarm but extremely hard to see how ICE operates with this kind of suffocating neighborhood response. Incredible work Minneapolis. ICE, just give up and get out already.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.
I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.
She’s amazing, and I am years overdue for a reread.
An amaaaaazing episode.

While I was studying for mine, I enjoyed quizzing my British friends and seeing them fail repeatedly.
Here comes KJC, wrecking my TBR
The prospect of seeing this on Friday is propping up my mental health singlehandedly.
A Tumblr post from user "nitewrighter," March 26. Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances. Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW. Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.
There's a pretty great Tumblr post about this:
Absolutely exquisite advice. 🤌
I would 100% read this
This reads just like one of the motivational emails my company’s president “writes.”
A line of Ramona Quimby, a young girl with a choppy bob cut. She has a furious frown. The text, by Beverly Cleary, reads: "I am too a Merry Sunshine," insisted Ramona, but she got down from the table and ran out of the room.

The greatest romance novelist of all time.
Do you have Kanopy through your library? They have it. Apart from that, the internet tells me Tubi.
Have you watched The Killing (Danish version)?
OK, I am not COMPLETELY averse to scented paper. For example, my cassette of Madonna’s Like a Prayer still smells like the patchouli it was infused with in 1989 and I love it.
But I draw the line at garlic mayonnaise.
Yeah. It feels like a microcosm of what’s happening in the US right now.
I was just yearning for some bonkers contemporaries.
I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA
10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)
All because our society does not (literally) value art and creativity.
WTF 🤣🤣🤣
I seem to have missed the rapture thing till now, but all those bloody awful people are going to disappear today? Best news ever.
A grainy screenshot of the sidebar of the desktop version of Goodreads. It says: RECOMMENDATIONS: Because you enjoyed A Wedding to Protect Her Fortune: On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder A historian of fascism offers a guide for surviving and resisting America's turn towards authoritarianism.

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes.
