I want to be very clear on this. You can be out drinking with your friends on Friday night and dead on Sunday because of meningitis. Does that sound a little specific? Guess why I have such a specific scenario in mind.
And getting vaccinated is an easy way to prevent that. There is no medical reason to stop recommending that vaccine. There's no new study that shows that it's unsafe, there's no replacement that's better. This is literally the government making its citizenry less safe for no reason.

Rest in Peace to Renee Good. ICE shooting an innocent 37 year old mother attempting to protect her neighbors is not an accident or an act of self defense, it is an act of terror designed to dissuade other people from stepping in, documenting ICE violence and reminding immigrants of their rights. Her son is now an orphan and the president of the United States is calling her a ‘professional agitator’ on social media.
The head of ICE is calling her a violent terrorist and claimed her attempt to back her car away was actually an effort to murder the ICE officers present.
There’s a reason that the Right have all rallied so quickly behind this narrative: it’s happened before, with ICE’s approval.
Renee is the ninth person to have been shot by ICE since last September; and in all of those shootings the victim was in a vehicle and the agents claimed that the vehicle was “a threat”/trying to “run them down.” One other shooting, that of Silverio Villegas Gonzalez, was also lethal.
This is pretty clearly a sanctioned tactic being used by ICE repeatedly with an eye towards using the vehicle-as-weapon excuse later.

I heard recently that you can tell a lot about a person by the first movie they know Tim Curry from and I literally can’t stop thinking about it.
so say in the tags what’s the first movie you know Tim Curry from. Mines muppets treasure island

How did we let this happen? We were both very stupid and irresponsible. This is real though, right? Yeah.

Knitting patterns: fingerless gloves with cool thumbs
"Coolness" is arbitrary but I was looking for thumb-centric construction, thumb shaping integrated into the pattern very smoothly, and other neat thumb tricks. All links are Ravelry. Feel free to add more!
Poinsettia by Sybil R also on tumblr as @sybilra and inspired this whole post
Mitred Mitts by Sybil R she specialises in these, okay?
Pieces of Eight by Sybil R (photo by cfrischknecht; the original version of this post linked to a German translation of this pattern by a different creator without realising it was a translation)
And I've hit the image limit but there are many short row patterns with nicely integrated thumbs such as Mixed Wave Mitts by Sybil R (again) and Ganmil by Heidrun Liegmann.

Industrial sentimentalism.

A reverse image search was totally worth it though.
Now I know there are more pipes and metal tubes that look like they're fucking.

I can’t even fathom what it feels like to be proud of the country you live in. I think maybe I was when Obama was elected. Maybe even hopeful, at least, when it looked like Bernie had even a chance, or at least enough to feel like the tide was turning that way. But I can’t actually remember feeling that. Thinking about the state of this country makes me sick to my stomach. I want to believe that on a larger timeline this will be a blip. A temporary backlash to an overall change for the better. But it sure as hell doesn’t feel that way.
