We stopped doing overpass demos for a time because it was cold and then we decided "Fuck it, we've got mittens." Today me and 14-ish neighbors braved the 20° F weather and hung our NO KINGS banner from and waved at traffic for two hours.

Every 18-wheeler this time (except for one) honked and waved at us. All but one. That's different from October.

I went home via the library where I printed out some "How to report ICE" zines. Get zines here

I rubbed her shoulder and tried talking but she didn’t pay me mind. So I started singing “your little Zeusy” over and over until she started singing it back, then I added “And everything’s okay” until she started singing that back and settled down.

She’s on oxygen and they just gave her some more morphine to help her cough. She’s woke up a few times and asked where I was and I’m so glad I could say “I’m right here honey.”

My cousins coming to take a shift in an hour or so and I’ll head back home. If I didn’t have to be out of the house by the end of the month I’d stick here until I was no longer required. But I can’t.

I ain't know who Alan Dye was until today, and mostly what I learned today is that he's not going to win any popularity contests.

On the other hand I learned about Louie Mantia, Jr. (npub14qx…v8wz) so that's good

Ay! I found all the Louisa May Alcott stuff I packed away when I took down LouisaMayAlcott.com (I took it down years ago when it was being used as the domain name in spam attacks.)

Should I put LouisaMayAlcott.com back up? I could make some research tools, maybe some games and puzzles....

My husband's giant iron desk has been sitting in our new living room a week b/c he couldn't figure out how to get it down the narrow hall to his office.

The legs supposed to detach but are basically rusted on. He drilled holes in them so he could thread a rod through and knock the legs loose with a mallet.

My mother's husband walked in, said "Why you doing all that?" checked his tape measure, and had the desk on a crawler and in my husband's office in five minutes. I laughed fit to bust 🤣
