Rglaandomly remembered the first time Malala came to the US, about a year after her shooting, and she and her family put on those plastic noses with glasses attached as their disguise for walking around Times Square. LIFE IS WEIRD GUYS. @maggiemertens.bsky.social you were there I think?

I loaded up an old iPod with good music (obviously as the older sister I have better taste). I treasure this little self-inflating back pillow I got in 2009 (remember when my left side was paralyzed?) highly recommend for emergencies, got her one.

For my sister's birthday, she got a Return to Office notice from her work! Poor thing. What are some things I could get her that might make the commute better? The world's greatest commuter cup, the Stojo, is not around any more or it would be that, obviously.

Cat has heard enough talk about the surveillance state, removed his insulin tracker. He must have missed the part about force used against resistance, because now he is getting a cone and his 5th trip to the vet in 6 days.

If you’re lucky enough to have seen Gasoline Rainbow, the incredible teen road trip doom apocalypse ecstatic reality film from 2023, you probably remember Tony Abuerto. His father was just taken by ICE. Here’s the GFM www.gofundme.com/f/help-bring...

Two important updates on my baby child Penny 1. In the "notes" section of his chart at the vet it says "cutie pie" and I refuse to believe this on all the charts, he is SPECIAL 2. He has diabetes 😫😢. I am freaked out. Learn how to inject tomorrow. Tell me about your cats living large w/diabetes

LAFD rebranding as a "full-spectrum life safety agency" do we not get to vote on this

It is impossible to take a picture of Sunset Blvd that doesn't end up somehow summarizing the state of LA

Aerial shot is Sunset and Mohawk, three LA buses are on the street and a couple cars. One of the buses is a double bus, it is blocking the road and seems stuck. Behind them is wall with a mural and graditti on it, then a lot of greenery and palm trees, in the background you can see the city

It's too much

Photo of two ice agents taking someone away in handcuffs, the text reads "Quietly, ICE makes 10,000 immigrant arrests in just five days" then it says "They're getting people—be very careful"

Anyone know what this symbol means? Entrance? Exit? Elevator? Parking garage ? Sub-level parking garage?

A symbol that is a crooked line on the left with three horizontal lines sticking out to the right like a capital "E". There is an arrow pointing to the symbol/

So what in the California NAZI is this shirt? The front says Orange County. I think the Latin is saying something about protecting the dead? What’s 9270? This is an ICE agent btw

Very on-brand items found while cleaning out the garage, a dirty but perfect vintage minicooler and the headset from what I think was an AR short about abortion access.

An old blue Rubbermaid Mini Cooler in a garage. On top of it is a cardboard box contraption that was a VR/AR headset with a short film inside, movie is Across the Line by Dawn Porter

The love of Penny’s life, his Amazon box, survived a cross-country move but was later lost in a tragic accident. For two years we have searched. Today… the healing begins
