Prison for all ICE scumbags. Misogynist, racist, fascist losers who’ve been told they’re above the law. They all need to be thrown in a fucking dungeon for life.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Speaking of Chicago Theatre things I bought this sheet music because Helen, the organist pictured on the front, married Jesse Crawford, organist of the Chicago.
Jesse was already married when he met Helen; he left his wife for her. Jesse & Helen married in 1923, & this music came out in early 1924

I have to schedule an AWS certification exam, but it’s being really funky with letting me set up an account with my email to do so.
According to the landing page, I last logged in on January 19, 1970.

I had a great time playing Killing Joke’s Extremities album with Martin Atkins & co this weekend. Been a while since I have played live, but certainly feel like I am being towards it more once again.
More music again please!

It looks like the largest whoopie cushion one can buy is 17 inches and this is not nearly large enough.

A Piping Plover chick from last Sunday! I believe this is Ferris, though I’m not positive.
They were all over Montrose Beach looking for breakfast in the sand.

Black Crowned Night Heron. I just want to hold one of these bad boys; they look so smooth and soft!
(I would never actually try to hold one).
This is Myron and he’s annoyed at the lack of fish in the river.

I’m so excited about this shot! Had my camera in place just as the barn swallow swooped in towards the young ones, who started demanding food.
So cool!
