Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

By the time I got there, the judge had already issued a stay, and the crowd was dispersing. The remaining crowd was chanting "We'll be back!".

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

A federal court has granted a temporary stay for people in transit and currently detained. I feel like I can breathe a little again.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Thank you for going, Tom.

And the mosque that burned down in Victoria, which is not that far from where I used to live, has raised $250,000 in 12 hours.

Good on you for going, Tom.

In much more minor tragedies, everywhere I went today I ran into someone I know. Which is only tragic in that I really wish I'd washed my hair this morning. More tragic is that I failed to prevent one of those people from buying this coat: [link]

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Sweet Jesus. That's...why? What? Why?

At the neighborhood swap meet, where I was unshowered and wearing no makeup, with my hair in a ponytail (because I have a damn migraine), we ran into Tim's ex-wife. Like you do.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

but we finally ended up settling on Ypsilanti/Pittsfield. Lots of cute bungalows in very nice near at a price we can afford. Aimee lives there, by the way!!!

Aimee proximity is key, but don't forget that Ypsi's favorite son is Iggy Pop.

Why would anyone think that coat is a good idea?

ION, I can't decide if I'm more reassured or horrified by the Voldemort administration's apparent incompetence. The only actual lawyer to review the immigration memo may well have been Jeff Sessions, who never met a civil right he liked. But thank God for the ACLU, National Lawyers guild, and so forth.

This is only going to get worse, I fear...
