These barbarians are destroying everything that makes society work. Kids can't go to school, patients can't go to the hospital. We are, in effect, paying them to wreck the basic infrastructure of the country
ICE's "presence is terrifying medical staff and raising concerns about patient care, according to five nurses at HCMC hospital in Minneapolis who asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing their jobs."

Joanie Labine was the first female DJ at the Whisky A Go-Go in L.A. in 1964. She played records in a suspended booth next to the stage and danced along to the music. Club goers thought it was part of the show, which resulted in the popularity of go-go dancing.

I had a week off work because I needed to breathe a little (a lot) and came back to absolute chaos. I don’t know what to do. I started a new antidepressant last week. So hopefully this insane anxiety will break - can’t with the nausea and barely eating anymore. This pic is from last week.
