If you were wondering why I didn’t make it to Daisy Chain Fields yesterday when I knew it was going to be hella good and would have done almost anything to see The Breeders and Bikini Kill live again let this photo explain everything.

A photo from above of what looks like 10s of thousands of people all on the main field.

We talk about a lot of different substances and their withdrawal symptoms, but we never talk about it with marijuana so quickly let’s do that. It takes between 2-3 months for things to normalize. During withdrawals tossing cookies is normal. Your dreams can become VIVID. Anxiety, short fuses (1/

The situation in Haiti is terrifying. On Sunday, 150 gunmen swept down on a town to kill, rape, loot, and burn. 22 people were executed in a churchyard. 52 were taken hostage. Stephen Miller mockingly says Haiti is safe and ICE just sent its second deportation flight this month; with kids on board.

They arrived in silence, under cover of darkness, heavily armed as they surrounded the town and moved through Kenscoff’s rugged terrain and towering forests in the mountains above the Haitian capital. Numbering around 150, the gunmen swept through several locations as they made their way toward the center of the town, opening fire on resident who tried to flee. At least 13 people were shot and killed as the gunmen ran through downtown, according to an account by the United Nations human rights office. As more than 50 others sought refuge in L’Arche de la Nouvelle Alliance, a Protestant church that had been sheltering people already displaced by the violence, the gunmen pursued them. When they arrive, they forced residents from the church and executed 22 of them in its courtyard. A dozen others were killed behind the sanctuary. The attackers didn’t just stop there. Before withdrawing from downtown, an area encompassing City Hall and a Haiti National Police substation, they abducted at least 52 people, including a mother and her five children, as well as another mother and her infant. Children and elderly who could not run were killed inside their homes. Others were burned alive after gunmen set at least a dozen houses on fire, witnesses told the National Human Rights Defense Network. The attackers also shot horses and other livestock inside the rural enclave.

Last month, U.S. officials warned Haitian authorities to expect an increase in deportations following the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision to allow President Donald Trump to end Haiti’s Temporary Protected Status designation even while litigation challenging the termination continues in the courts.

I try to be a good vegan in the sense that I don’t bring up my veganism a lot. But y’all, it might be time to make that switch. I’m worried about you. No regulations on farmers and ranchers is bonkerspants

What a fucked up miserable week. Crying at 9am because I wasn’t done crying last night about Dolly and opening up social media to find more sorrow awaiting me. Fuck this.

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

In my noon meaning we talked about Dolly and her compassion for the addicts and the drunks. Even in a group of people who have only one thing in common, she ruled above them all. We took up a collection to donate to her book foundation. We should all be so loved.

Fucking hell. One of the kindest people to have ever lived. I will always think of her as the book lady. The woman who encouraged every single youth to learn how to read and put her money where her mouth was.

Decided to go see a movie. I won’t say which movie because spoilers but there’s a sweet queer subplot. First the laughing started. Then the booing started. Then the slurs started. All from multiple places. I left before the movie ended so I could have a car cry (1/2)
