Roman baths under the city of Gijon.
The entire complex has been unearthed and turned into a museum.

Today has been a rest & recuperation day. Visited Santa Maria de Naranco and El Cristo del Monte Naranco, from which you get a fantastic view of the weird spaceship looking hotel we stayed in yesterday on the left (site of the old stadium) as well as the current Carlos Tartiere stadium on the right.

Just having a little post match food now that the kitchen is finally open, NBD 🤷‍♀️

Ten years ago I visited Oviedo and got to hold Cazorla's game worn jersey while visiting his favorite local restaurant. Then today this happened after the match.

(I fangirled so hard.) 😬💙

Three points! Let's go boys!

Well I was just on camera live inside the stadium for an interview in Spanish 😬

A meeting of old friends

(Diego Cervero hugging Alemao, former Real Oviedo player now playing for the opposition, as Nacho looks on)

(Santi Cazorla horsing around with Alemao as the rest of the team chats and looks on)

I love Spain for so many reasons, not the least of which is you pull off at a random gas station to fill up & grab a bite & w/o exception they have actual silverware & china plates & cups. We know you're on the road but ffs be human, sit down & enjoy for a minute

A student at my school earned sushi lunch (brought in by his family) as his chosen reward for ongoing positive behavior. They brought in sushi for me to eat with him as well and TBH I feel like I'm the one who got rewarded here

When DHS dared to call its anti-immigrant racial profiling weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” I knew I was going to have to write about it.

It's fascinating. Never mind moral grounds; a focus on "welfare cheats" isn't even economically worthwhile. Going after wealthy tax cheats would yield SO much more bang for the buck in terms of return on costs invested. I wonder why we don't focus on it more [editor: she doesn't actually wonder why]
Or eg why constantly means testing poor people for the few meager scraps the govt provides is a thing, while elites happily avoid billions in taxes and nobody seems to care

Thanks for the villainous sound bite, Brooke, but recipients already have to recertify on the regular so I'm not sure if the point of this statement is just to sound evil, or ignorant, or maybe both

Normally I've been trying to push these on Fridays, but I am swiftly burning through what's been donated so far. I could use some help with sharing and boosting, but especially to cover the next three sessions this month immediately. Thank you.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

It’s important to remember our city’s history so as not to repeat it. Remember Mulugeta Seraw.

Ignorance and vitriol to our immigrant communities is not some distant past, it rears its ugly head once again. We must come together & support those who look to build a life with us. #RCTID #BAON

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

Ladies and gentlemen, I rest my case
It WAS a good thing. It was Saturday night and his brother showed up on his front porch with an opossum in a sack. This is not hard, people.

I love my husband to the end of the earth AND sometimes when he gets his country music on I confess to being a bit lost. A lyric just ran by that includes "a possum in a sack" and I can think of exactly zero circumstances where this would be a good thing

TARAN WANDERER by Lloyd Alexander had a HUGE impact on me as a kid. A joyfully democratic instead of a monarchic vision of high fantasy - and life. Tremendously grateful to have read it when I did.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"
