We did terrible things in Its name. And I thought that, when we were rescued, that we left it there, but now I realize: We brought It back with us.

Little Knit Fish are the perfect way to use up your leftover sock yarn. You know, the little pieces that are too small to do anything else with? Make the most of your yarn with a little aquatic friend, perfect as decoration, cat toys, or simply wee stuffed animals.

i thought "hang in there" was an odd thing for irving specifically to say - not really in line with his typical phrasing, especially as effectively his last words. and then i remembered a post i saw a couple days ago pointing out this poster in the break room, of dylan "hanging in there" to keep the overtime contingency active. irving's trying to hint to them that they can still bring him back using the OTC, and that they shouldn't let his loss quash their rebellion.

of course, he doesn't know that the security room isn't there anymore. only dylan knows that.

It’s been a minute since I’ve called my reps, but I did so this evening! (If you call right now, you won’t even have to talk to a real person!) I wrote my own script, but 5calls has one you can use: https://5calls.org/issue/usaid-musk-foreign-aid/

I haven't written anything about what's happening at USAID, i think because I feel so sickened and overwhelmed by it. the number of vulnerable people worldwide who have died and will die because of the psychological defects of earth's wealthiest, most pathetic men is astonishing.

If you live in a represented territory in the U.S., here is a script from a beloved friend and ex-USAID staffer that you can say to your Congressional reps. Find their numbers here.

"Hello Representative [XYZ], My name is [XYZ] and I live in [XYZ]. I’m calling to urge you to reclaim Congressional power and ensure USAID's continued operations. The agency has broad bipartisan support, positively impacts US businesses and domestic security, and is crucial to US influence abroad.  Protecting this agency and its mission from biased political interference during your tenure will impact my vote in the next election. Thank you.”

I understand that a phrase like "US influence abroad" might feel distasteful to those of us who think US influence abroad is, and has been, Bad Actually. I think of it like I am playing a part where I have to pretend that we all agree this country is good so that fewer people die. USAID is one of the few agencies that is redistributing this country's resources globally in a useful way; I believe that is worth making an effort to protect.

I also haven't urged people to call their reps in a while. I understand why you might feel it is pointless. However I also think often it is good to do something pointless for the sake of having done it. IDK try it and see.

i woke up with the powerful memory of how stephanie @bishakespeares and i used to loudly and intensely chant longfellow's psalm of life in unison at high speed by memory.

TELL ME NOT IN MOURNFUL NUMBERS "LIFE IS BUT AN EMPTY DREAM!" FOR THE SOUL IS DEAD THAT SLUMBERS AND THINGS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM! LIFE IS REAL! LIFE IS EARNEST! AND THE GRAVE IS NOT ITS GOAL! DUST THOU ART TO DUST RETURNETH WAS NOT SPOKEN OF THE SOUL!
