Not all the angelic powers are in Heaven, y'know? There are days when God says ro one or another of them, "Hey, it's *your* day to walk with the one who flies the Bat."
No one expects the hard left turn into horror 2/3 of the way through.
No matter how many of her books we've read. 😝
... I find myself wondering if "the original fascist was a weekend cowboy" would have any influence on current politics.
Like, probably not, but anything's worth a try at this point?
Not to mention the burning question perhaps on everyone's mind.. How long until RFK Jr does a photo-op plunge to reassure us that all of this is being blown out of proportion?

Just imagine Jareth's face at the appearance of the measuring tape.
He'd take that spoonful of medicine too.
Mary Poppins. 100%. No contest.
The Escher stairs would straighten themselves out at her raised eyebrow.
The Fireys would find themselves seated quietly around the fire holding her thread scissors while she sewed their heads back on.
She would pop that crystal bubble with one poke of the parrot head.
There are zero entities of any persuasion that have ever had any power whatsoever over Mary Poppins. She would sigh, then float with her umbrella over the labyrinth, depositing any abducted babies into her carpet bag as she passed by without slowing down.
Reminds me of all the 45-as-swastika inside a 🚫 people used to have as their profile photos. Like on the one hand I'm glad you're against all this but on the other hand WHY IS MY FEED NOW COVERED IN SWASTIKAS. can we think through this stuff a little more please.

She giggled. 😁
Initial Success is super important anywhere there's a big learning curve, esp when there are reluctant or hesitant learners.
And if you can't do the easy win, saying that out loud can go a long way. "I know you're struggling. This is hard, and I'd have started you somewhere else if i could have."

Li Ho Food, edge of Chinatown in DC. Right across the street from one of the cathedrals so my dad ate there when he sang in choirs. Took me there for the first time when i was 13 or so.
They closed at least 20 years ago and I have been chasing the scallops in black pepper sauce ever since.
In rural areas cell signal is often spotty to straight up non-existent. Every time i drive through central PA my phone loses signal for a minimum of half an hour.
Hell, in the middle of Pittsburgh (where i live) there are urban neighborhoods with no signal.
This falls under No Ethical Consumption Under Capitalism. Internet is a utility in this day and age. You do what you can until there's something better you can do.
(Maybe write to a different ISP and tell them you would absolutely switch if they came to your area? If enough people do that...)
@tkingfisher.com my 9yo just spent the last 20mins yelling about how she's 9, she shouldn't have to argue with her teachers about 🧊, but since the adults in the building aren't doing it, guess she's gonna.
... Why yes she did read _A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking_ this year, why do you ask?

Everyone else - keep fighting. Every day. Because we are now almost 25 years into horror because too many people found hate easier than grief. It Can’t - it MUST NOT - be allowed to continue. Fascism has one end point if left to its own devices, and no one needs another World War.
heated rivalry... yuri on ice... roller derby... truly shoes which go fast are the dominion of the queers

Hey y’all! REMINDER:
I am LEGALLY OBLIGATED to award at least one scholarship to a Louisiana woman. And no Louisiana women have applied. This happens every year where we have to beg women in my own state to apply and Idk why. We’re in our 6th cycle! Come get this money! ThurmanPerryFoundation.org
Once again, here's the actual men in women's bathrooms, ICE agents.

I swear i learned from my public school textbook in the 90s that like half of them were Deists.
It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.
Woody Guthrie's New Year's resolutions for 1943: Don't get lonesome. Beat fascism. Love everybody. Wake up and fight.
