The Moon, just one day past full, will occult Leo’s brightest star, Regulus, tonight (2/2). From West Michigan, Leo’s blazing heart suddenly disappears at about 8:45pm EST, only to dramatically reappear at 9:43pm. Make sure to observe the occultation with binoculars or a telescope for a better view.

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein.
There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.

Decades ago, while visiting a friend's cabin, we went out to a quarry to do target shooting with pistols and tin cans and I absolutely got that exact lecture from my friend's dad before he handed me a gun.
This isn't just FBI training, this is literally every firearms training in the country, if not the world. Even your buddy at the local range will tell you this
Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

I want to personally smack each and every person who has ever quoted or posted or nodded thoughtfully over that Martin Niemoller poem, who is now willing to condone this.
Mike Johnson speaks out against the use of judicial warrants in immigration cases:
"Imagine if we had to go through the process of getting a judicial warrant"

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Rep Lieu on Kristi Noem: “Under her leadership, the Department of Homeland Security has killed a number of Americans. She needs to resign, or she needs to be fired. And if not, impeachment proceedings need to proceed.”

Finished @naomialderman.bsky.social "Don’t Burn Anyone At The Stake Today" which is a short, but meaningful book about the information crisis we find ourselves living in.
"Never talk about a culture-war topic with anyone who only wants to talk to you about that topic." Words to live by, esp online.

Re-Watching Stir of Echoes (1999)!
Ghosts need to take some time and learn to communicate with the living. It's quite likely that people would be willing to help them without the nightmares, jump scares, and the constant threat to the living, their families, friends & loved ones!

Okay, I'm not one to post here just to blow my own horn. But I've been ramping up my writing time in the last little while, and I have to say, this new novel... it's really coming together. It's *working*. And that's a great feeling! I am trying very hard to get it out this year. #amwriting

Tonight's 📽 Cat People (1942, dir. Jacques Tourneur), a film that's barely subtextual about a fear of unleashed sexual desire, the 'evil' inside. Irena keeps herself away from people, so that she does not hurt them. But then she falls in love... Beautifully written, by a gay man, DeWitt Bodeen.
