I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

I rescued these little things on my walk today from the hedges on my road that have been horrendously slashed. I felt so sorry for these little fragments.

Another reason for hate turned at light hearted protest: they want you on your couch, having your brain being turned into soup while you are comatose watching THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BUMBLEFUCK or HARRY POTTER XXV. They resent a rabbit or a frog going “we make our own entertainment here!”

There's an excellent exhibit in the @nationalgalleryirl.bsky.social of words and phrases in Irish for fauna, Tails from the Archive. I think Manchán would have appreciated it.

Catching up with this excellent essay

‘An age of anti-politics was dawning, in which the adoption of substantive positions or policy pledges was a risk and the best a professional politician could do was remain likeable but vague on specifics.’
