"There are great powers, outside the government and in it, trying to legislate the return of darkness. We are not great powers. But we are the light. Nobody can put us out. May all of you shine very bright and steady, today and always." From “The Princess,” 1982, by Ursula K. Le Guin

Older brick building with sign that says “Surprise Thrift Shop” but without any signage warning that your uterus is not considered your own here.
Omaha secondhand store is called “Surprise Thrift.” Promising, I thought, and looked them up. They benefit pro life causes. !!Pretty sure their name means “find thrift surprises inside” but all I can think is “surprise you’re pregnant and your reproductive rights unsurprisingly are nil.”
PRINCE HENRY
How does the king?
GLOUCESTER
Exceeding ill.
Black-and-white portrait of a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr in a suit and tie. On the left side of the image, white text on a black background reads: “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” The quote is attributed in the image to MLK Jr's 1963 book titled Strength to Love.
Though times may feel challenging or controversial, it's important to know that our actions in these moments CAN make change.
We stand with members of the disability community, and with members of ALL communities seeking justice, today, and every day.

I walked out when a dog seemed in danger, read a plot synopsis in the lobby to make sure the dog would not die, and only ruefully watched the rest because my friend didn’t want to leave. I need a good guy to root for, and there are NONE in this film. Except the dog.
A caramel colored small dog who is perched on the back of a couch is wearing maroon sweater. She peers out of the window, the curtain obscuring her head.
Sliding glass doors at night with lock barely holding shut
Small pup alerted me at 3:30 am to someone attempting to pry open the back door. Though she be but little, she is fierce. All is well thanks to her, though now she won’t stop stand down and keeps peering outside. #dogs

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003
when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

White dog buries her face into a grey snuffle mat with long tentacles suitable for hiding treats.
My dog may be a little tooooo into her snuffle mat and I worry is disappearing into an alternate universe. #DogsOfBluesky #dogs
Ah but only if your dog LIKES clothes!
Page from desk calendar entitled “Life hack: if you’re drunk and have the urge to vomit, taking short rapid breaths can help the nausea pass.”
My desk calendar thinks I’m living a much more exciting life than I actually am, I muse as I select which blanket shall envelope me as I read a vintage murder mystery through the afternoon.
