Has anyone else read the Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion by Beth Brower? I just finished Volume 6 and fam, I am ADDICTED and dying to speculate with someone about the outcome of this series. It is an amazing, amazing series. Can’t recommend highly enough

Nope. I live in Berkeley. Canadian geese have been flying south in the past week, and the trees are already turning. Here’s a pic of the tree across the street, which was a full lush green a week or so ago.
Is there an opposite of seasonal affective disorder? Because I think I have it. I endure spring, go spiritually and emotionally dead during summer, then spring to life during autumn. This past week it’s like I’ve awakened from the dead.

I’m an American curious about the best ways to support Canada during this trade war. Is it buying Canadian goods if financially feasible once tariffs are added to cost? If so, can we have a specific list? Is it boycotting or finding substitutes for other goods? Help me out here please
Man, every other ad on NFL network right now in California is anti-Prop 40, the wealth tax. Billionaires must be scared shitless it’s going to pass
There are going to be Democrats who say we shouldn’t rip it all out — it’s already built, we have other priorities — but removing the visible signs of Trumpism is absolutely necessary.
The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.
