Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Don't tell anyone, but I'm going home to surprise my father for his 70th. Forget the new TV. This is more important.
Of course, to make the travel manageable for my delicate self I'm having to bundle the shit out of the components of the trip (flight, hotel, shuttles) so I have no thinking to do then.
Spendy.
Now the onus is on my mother and sister to prevent my father from changing the location of his festivities.

Is that weird for here? My sister's ears were pierced at that age.

I dunno. I just never noticed that before.

Aaaand we're back. Yeah so over a week of my computer taking a dive later... I miss anything earth shattering w/o retracing 2000+ posts in here?

My ears were pierced when I was two months old. I had diamond earrings.
Sadly, the diamond earrings were stolen when I was in kindergarten and our house got robbed. I wonder, though, if they gave me unreasonable expectations from life.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
What brings me to my knees it the mention of the US internment camps. I still can't accept that. So fucking wrong. And yet.... Guantanamo, and I'm not at the gates.
This. So much this.
Early on, I tried to look for Japanese American activist groups that were applying their experience to opposing Guantanamo, and I couldn't find any. Possibly I was looking in the wrong internets, but then I just dropped it, instead of pursuing it and creating my own such group.
Which reminds me of a big giant thing I was going to post in my lj. Habeas corpus. I want it back.
Last week the Senate failed to pass (by 4 votes) a cloture motion to allow discussion of restoring habeas corpus for those detained by the US. It needed 60 votes to succeed, and received 56, which means there is some turning of the tide (last session a similar motion failed to get 50 such votes) and that there was some republican and independent crossing of the lines. You can check here to see how your Senator voted: [link]
It looks like the House is currently considering similar legislation (I think it's HR 2826 or possibly HR 1416.) this week. Please write a letter to your Congressional representative letting him or her know how you feel about this issue.
Habeas corpus means "You must have the body." It is an essential protection allowing us to challenge our unlawful detention. The US constitution prohibits its suspension except when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.
Although Gonzales may say that the constitution does not explicitly grant habeas corpus, only prohibits its suspension, I beg to differ.
Habeas corpus is an important part of our constitutional protections for both citizens and foreigners to prevent us from being unlawfully detained. I hope you join me in this effort.
