I am kinda sad that I haven’t been able to put holds at my library for… practically the whole year. The system suffered a major hack and while the libraries themselves are still open, it brought down so many systems and has been depriving the whole community of needed resources since 😭

The new COVID variant seems to be evading immunity from vaccines and past infections. COVID cases are up 250% in NYC. Remember the more you get covid your risk for long covid increases significantly.

You know, we as a society went wrong when we failed to impose a court-mandated 12 more years of elementary school on everyone who joined in on Johnny Depp's fucking pathetically transparent attack on the life and reputation of Amber Heard.

The thing I keep coming back to on this post is “bloodless if the left allows it to be.” He’s not saying “bloodless if the left doesn’t fire the first shot.” He’s saying “bloodless unless the left wins.” He’s advocating for violence if he doesn’t like the outcome of the election.

When I was around 7 years old, my mom and I were living in a shelter for battered women. I started to make a “newsletter” for the other kids, where I drew the one thing I could (and still can) a derpy flamingo named Flannery. Every week he would escape “bad things.” It was terrible but it was loved.

So taking those extrapolations as valid (and noting that there are two or three missing), that would give a SF plurality, and also a nationalist plurality, with the Alliance holding some sort of "balance of power"? How much do Westminster election and Assembly (do I mean that) correlate?
