"Most teenagers don't run around with wolves," said Katherine. "Now Katherine," said Dracula. "I remember a certain young Vampire who went behind her father's back to hang out with her own "pack of wolves."

"Dad!" said Katherine. "You're not helping!"

The other vampires heard this, and glanced over, circling like buzzards.

On a evening, Bloody Bee and Christine were merely window shopping in the French Quarter. Both had seem to have the night off.

They had wandered into a store where Bee had found a few books “you know, I want to say I’m happy to see the classics are still around”

Christina was looking at sun glasses “are they really classics to you or….”

Christina figured it out very quickly that they were vampires but wasn’t telling a soul. But like anyone, she was still curious. Bee chuckled “hon I was born in 1995 in Ireland. I’m 29 or well about to turn 29 next month.”

As they were speaking, a well-dressed man was being hounded by the press.

Dracula became a cloud of bats right in front of the doctor's eyes. They flew over him, regrouped behind him, and then reverted to human shape.

From an email from MPower Action Muslim Grassroots Movement:

“The House previously passed a bill (H.R. 6408) that could give any president unprecedented power to target and shut down nonprofits and activist student groups.​ The legislation was intended to strip the tax-exempt status of organizations advocating for Palestinian human rights. The Senate refused to take it up after tens of thousands of our members sent letters to Congress urging opposition.

But now, House Members are attempting to pass a different bill (H.R. 9495) that includes the legislative language of H.R. 6408, which would be disastrous for all of our organizations working towards a lasting ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the occupation.

We can’t let that happen.

Urge your U.S. House Representative: Vote NO on H.R. 9495.

This bill would give future presidents new powers to target and shut down nonprofits and movement groups in the name of security — with virtually no oversight.

Our communities have seen firsthand the kind of abuses that prosecutors and Presidential administrations can unleash against everyday people of conscience using similar tools.

We can only imagine the effects that could be unleashed on our nonprofits advocating for Palestinian human rights if a future administration decides to use this expanded power to target us.

Send a letter to Congress now.

Thank you for everything you do.

In solidarity,

Yasmine and the team at MPower Action”

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU

***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***

Blacked out part is my name.

I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too

AND

I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.

And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.

A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am

I feel so very awful...

I don't mean to dump all my issues on you guys, but today is particularly bad. I feel like my energy and strength have been ripped out of me, and all I want to do is lie down. I'm not saying I'm going to do anything drastic or terrible, but I am definitely going to need some time. God willing, things will get better. I love you all. You've been terrific, and I wish you all the very best.

“Name’s Jack Savage, baddest vampire in town.”

The delinquent vampire let out a loud howl.

“Just sending that stuff shirt city boy back where he came from.”

On a evening, Bloody Bee and Christine were merely window shopping in the French Quarter. Both had seem to have the night off.

“Way ahead of you.”

Dracula reached out to Katherine with his mind. In an instant, she was there, very, VERY angry.

“Charlotte Isabelle Dracula!”

Charlie cringed. She knew she was in trouble when her full name was used.

"Oh, believe me, she did," said Dracula. "Katherine was QUITE awkward in her youth."

"No way," said Charlie. "You're serious?"

"Oh?" said the count. "Dear Rebekah, must you leave? I was so enjoying your company."

Rebekah walked along the dark streets of London. She was new here and was happy to be away of her controll obsessed Brother Klaus. In this town she felt save and nobody knows her. But suddenly, she had the feeling that someone followed her. The steps came near. She takes a deep breath. Had Klaus found her?

Turns around.

"No, okay?" said Charlie. "I don't talk to her about werewolf stuff. Why bother? She wouldn't understand. No one ever does. My whole life, everyone looks at me or treats me like I'm some sort of animal."
