It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

The four aspects of a great character are the Need, the Want, the Ghost, and the Lie.

A Want is their conscious desire.

A Need is what they really want but might not know.

A Lie is the thing they believe that keeps them from that Need.

A Ghost is that spiritual wound that caused the Lie.
Identity-power-deception-the long game- choosing to be human when one is not, choosing to be transhuman, discovering what is forced on you is not the final word, but all choice has consequences. Who has the right?

It is my pet project anyhow.

The Englynion y Beddau - the Verses of the Graves - tell the final resting places of many of the great heroes of Welsh legend. They contain what is possibly the oldest reference to King Arthur, describing his grave as "one of the mysteries of the world".
However, his party really believes every word he says. Am related to some of them. Boggles my mind.

I am now ready with a take: It is good when negative things about candidates come out before people vote rather than after they vote.
I won't, without SNAP, I won't be paying any tarriffs. lols

I'll also be losing more weight. Although my Dr. is getting concerned. Oh, right, that's not going to be a problem either.

No worries then, carry on.
