Wow.
Should you get snatched out of your home on April 21st because you didnβt file your taxes on time? The government is focused on immigrants now but if you set the precedent that people should get kidnapped over paperwork thereβs a whole lot of people who can get taken next
Writing poetry is so strange. I can't write at all for awhile, and then I start and I can't stop.
A student is writing about a kind of gelato made of pine nuts and oh my god that sounds amazing. The essay takes places in Italy. I wonder if I could find it somewhere closer. I really need to try that.

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.
