Pretti Good reason for a national strike poster featuring artist’s rendering of Keith Porter, Alex Pretti and Renee Good, who were all murdered by ICE recently

Please make sure you share the poster with Keith Porter included.

Credit to unapologeticallyJackie for asking the artist to redo the poster to include Keith Porter.

The world is both burning and blooming. You get the bad news and the sunrise in the same day. You cry over the headlines, then you laugh at a baby wearing a hat shaped like a bear. This is the dual citizenship of being alive. Rage and reverence, Grief and grace. You are allowed to feel both. You are allowed to scream, & still notice how good the soup is. You don't have to choose. Let it all in. Karen Salmansohn + yourtodieforlife.com

A fawn colored cano corso dog stands on cleared concrete a few inches from the snow. He’s got dark uncropped ears and a dark muzzle. He weighs about 150 pounds and is a very big dog

My handsome neighbor came over to hang out with me. We stayed just inside the snow line and watched the neighborhood kids play in the snow.

I have had a long and lovely birthday weekend
It was peaceful, relaxed, and filled with love.

This is Chapter 47.

This is me —Crooked smile and all.

There was a time I didn’t think I’d make it to 30. Alhamdulillah for 17 bonus years and counting iA.

I’ve been seething over this.

I have “stuff under my skin and visible” anxiety and needles have always made me light headed. Good job getting through that to take care of yourself 👏👏👏

My stepDad used to make a big pot of beef/bean chili in the slow cooker when I was a kid

One of my fondest memories was sneaking a bowl of in progress chili in the middle of the night. it was safe, but the veggies were still crisp

Thinking of him tonight as I swipe a bowl hours before it’s ready

Those are cute

Meanwhile I just see Vizzinni

Glad it was the sink and not the machine 😬
