step one: be extremely depressed during covid-19 quarantine
step two: in your diffidence, leave many half-drunk glasses of water around your apartment
step three: your cat, who is stupider than any other mammal on earth, living or dead, starts drinking from your many abandoned water cups
step four: the cat now believes these are for her
step five: years later, you keep a glass of water on your bed side stand. not such a strange sight. however, it is the cat's glass of water. she loves it. she drinks from it, she sleeps beside it on the bed next to your pillow to jealously guard it from harm, she cries when the level gets too low and she can't cram her little head in far enough to reach the water. when overnight guests are there you have to explain that even if they are parched in the night, they don't wanna drink the glass of water, because that is the cat's glass of water.
you know how easy it was to get this picture? i picked her up, smooched her on her little head, put her down on the bed facing it, and she went "!!!! ooomye glase ofwater🥰" and started slurpin
The standoff with agents happened on Jan. 8, one day after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good in south Minneapolis. Wootenβs refusal to comply with ICE was captured on video and posted to Facebook.Β
The agents tried everything to intimidate the guard.
Β βYou canβt come back here, bro,β Wooten can be heard in the video saying to an agent wearing a mask and sunglasses. βIβm talking to your manager,β the agent said. Wooten responded: βNo, youβre talking to security, Iβm in charge.β
ICE left empty-handed. Wooten said he just stood his ground, β10 toes down.β
βI was doing my job like Iβm supposed to,ββ Wooten said. βIf you donβt stand for something, youβll fall for anything. I just want to make my family safe because Iβve been here three years.β
much to be said about the fact the costume designer for heated rivalry said that shane and yuna are both wearing linen in the coming out scene on purpose. because she wants it to be obvious that yuna buys shane clothes. and then shane subsequently makes active choices to wear those clothes when he is around her because he wants her to know that he loves her. but he also wants to show that he can be what she wants him to be by wearing what she wants him to wear. not sure if i have the strength to say it. in fact i need to lie down
coming back to this i think it is so interesting how in the most recent comments she made about the costumes she said that yuna buys shane linen because it's what she wears, so she knows that it's nice and comfortable, but it requires "more upkeep than he is interested in", which is why it's not ironed and he doesn't seem to take care of it. that particular phrase is so awesome. something his mother has given him "Requires More Upkeep Than He Is Interested In" but he keeps it and wears it and carries it around with him to show her he appreciates that she gave it to him. in the books he wears a shirt related to a charity event to signal to his parents that he's a "good person". remember me, your son, who does charity events? remember me, your son, who is a good and normal person who does good and normal things? and this shirt does the same thing without the addition of a logo. remember me, your son, whom you love? you bought me this shirt. and i'm wearing it not only because i love you but because i need you to remember that you love me
Please stop what you're doing right now. Stop everything. If you're eating, put your hands down. If you're drinking, stop what you're buying. If you're playing, stop playing. If you're on a trip or at work, please just listen to me for a moment. Please don't ignore what I'm about to say.
What's happening here today is unbearable. Gaza is not well, even after what you call a ceasefire. We still can't return to our homes, and we pay exorbitant rents every month. We buy food at very high prices; we even have to pay for water. The war hasn't stopped. Every day there's shelling and gunfire. Please, don't let the Zionist media deceive you into thinking Gaza is living in luxury. We are suffering. There's no infrastructure, and there are none of the basic necessities of life.
Israel has spent $900,000 on media outlets to spread the false narrative that Gaza is doing well. This Zionist project, targeting pro-Zionist Western influencers, has been expanded to an estimated $3 million to conceal the truth from you. Please don't let them deceive you. We are not doing well here; we are suffering and need help. We need your donations. Please help us and donate to us.
Please listen to Nader and don't ignore what he's saying. Nader is suffering in a war that has lasted three decades. Please don't ignore him and please donate to him.

Avelo Airlines, the only commercial carrier believed to have been operating full deportation flights on a regular basis for the Trump administration, is ending its relationship with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and will no longer charter those deportations.
The budget carrier signed an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security in April 2025 to operate ICE flights out of Arizona, drawing immediate protests and calls to boycott.
At the time, the airline acknowledged the decision may be controversial but said it was expected to support company expansion and job protection. However, after less than a year since inking the deal, Avelo has admitted that the program became too costly and complex to continue.
CEO Andrew Levy acknowledged the backlash in an email to employees late Tuesday.
“We moved a portion of our fleet into a government program which promised more financial stability but placed us in the center of a political controversy,” Levy wrote in the email, obtained by CNBC.
“The program provided short-term benefits but ultimately did not deliver enough consistent and predictable revenue to overcome its operational complexity and costs.” (aph)
KEEP PROTESTING AND KEEP MOBILIZING. IT WORKS. IT IS NOT HOPELESS AND IT WORKS.
Hey.
Don't post online about what protests you plan to attend.
Be safe. Be smart. Don't fall for the weird pressure to liveblog political actions when we live in a surveillance state.
And for fuck's sake, stop posting unredacted pictures of people at protests. It's not a fucking party. It's a political action and you could get someone killed. I have a personal friend who was doxxed and harassed for MONTHS in 2020 after their photo at a protest got passed around by neonazis. Do not be a part of that happening to someone.
This is what it feels like to be orange juice btw
