good afternoon:

i feel like i should have started my heirloom tomato and chiltepin seeds on New Year’s Eve, but i haven’t even ordered or sorted seeds yet;

that I should’ve picked up a bottle of mineral facial sunscreen and given myself a pedicure yesterday;

that the swimsuits overwhelming retail spaces are not for spring breakers and resort goers but for anyone headed to North Avenue Beach in Chicago or Silver Beach in Michigan today;

and that i wish i didn’t know that the Thwaites Glacier is hanging on by fewer and weaker pinning points;

do you respect or even revere military service? i know many of you certainly do/

did you know that American Airman Aaron Bushnell self-immolated on Sunday in front of the Israeli embassy in the nation’s capital to bring my and your attention to the GENOCIDE in Palestine — to the intentional and orchestrated murder of civilians — particularly of women and children?

that 20,000 babies will be born in Palestine over the next few months — if their mothers live; that orphaned babies are starving to death because there is no formula – Israel is starving People as a secondary means of genocide in addition to bombing and shooting People.

do you know that Zionism is fascism? what most rail/ed against during Trump’s last presidency and what most fear from his next?

did you see that study published in JAMA in January 2024 estimated that in a period of 18 months since Roe was overturned, 65,000 American women who were impregnated by r*pe in the fourteen states with abortion bans were unable to access abortion services to terminate their unwanted pregnancy resulting from traumatic and violent conception?

Clinton, Obama, Biden, the late crypt-keeper RBG — they and many more Democrats and “liberals” failed female body autonomy — they deprioritized, diminished and restricted reproductive freedom for decades — and are also very, arguably equally, responsible for the loss of access to safe and legal abortions — for the gradual, then sudden disintegration of Roe;

that in those fourteen states, 520,000 women were actually r*ped — while the New York Times has been exposed as having published unconfirmed and debunked accounts of r*pes by a biased, unreliable and inexperienced “journalist” giving her and her equally biased co-author front page space to influence continuing support for Israel’s occupation of and atrocities in Gaza after October 7th?

today is primary day in Michigan/there is no one or nothing on the ballot here — to pretend to vote for or against.

Ceasefire! Free Palestine! No more money for weapons and war! Land Back! Abolition! Liberation! No more millionaires or billionaires! De-growth!

None of the above is on the ballot.
