A couple of weeks ago I rode to Newburyport MA and saw this COVID memorial and realized this is the only one I have ever seen anywhere. And the fact that I nearly broke down seeing it is something I still think about.
I'm sorry I'm still processing that they wrote about Rey's subconscious imagining Ben Solo in his good boy sweater, barefoot and pregnant 🤧

grim reaper finally locked the fuck in. he's standing in front of that claw machine with a roll of quarters and an agenda

We wouldn’t have to worry about ICE killing the “wrong person” if ICE would just stop killing people altogether.
