I've been mostly down in the dumps for the last 3 weeks, letting this minor back injury introduce way too many negative feelings. Today I decided to start getting ready for the next half of the Oregon Coast Trail, even though I'm not sure if I'll be on the trail in 1 week or 1 month from now.

I tested my new Nemo Tensor sleeping pad and topped up some fuel canisters, and those 2 simple things got me ridiculously excited again! Sometimes we just need to force the right attitude into existence...

@mastodonmigration Why can’t the state’s governor mobilize the National Guard to release him? ICE is violating a court oder is it not? Is NOTHING being enforced these days?


New review up at the blog for Bald-Faced Lair by Victoria Helen Stone. This was a second half read for me, the heroine just didn't "grab me" for some reason and it's been hard for me to articulate why wendythesuperlibrarian.blogspo… #RomBkBlog @romancelandia

I figured that is how this would play out. Court orders release, Trump regime refuses to release.

It's a tight hole, and you'd think it stinks when first looking at it, but once you're in it's surprisingly comfortable.


Trump and Musk, dismantling USAID with obvious malice in their hearts, caused the deaths of countless people -- mostly children -- in the developing world. If it wasn't murder, what was it?

VOA’s Persian Service did not carry live President Trump’s speech about bombing Iran. The few remaining staffers describe a catastrophic failure due to Kari Lake’s removal of most of their colleagues. The video of the speech could not be uploaded to the VOA Farsi website for 12 hours.

Y'know, Hairy Flake's retweet of Trump's spew in Farsi including a screencap of the "men" walking away from the podium just so greatly describes the hell we're now in.
