Spring cleaning starting a month early in 2024, just like the boulevard flowers. I've put out 15 boxes of top-end used stock since 10am, with a 60 box collection (cultural studies; literature) hot on those heels.

It's almost Valentine's Day so it's my yearly reminder that lilies are DEADLY to cats. Every single part of the lily. Even the tiniest sniff of pollen will send a cat into kidney failure within an hour. Lilies are a death sentence. If you have cats DO NOT have lilies in your home!

There's a flood watch in Allen on a tiny map, and my husband thought it said Alien and got pretty excited about the alien alert.

He seems to actually be back!

Some good news: There's a "backlash" against right wing culture-warring in this district in the Philly suburbs, he told me. Right wingers are losing school board races. That's a really good sign, because this is classic swing territory. 4/ Listen: newrepublic.com/article/1786...

I would humbly argue that the Missouri AG arguing that an innocent person should be kept on death row because to reopen his case would destabilize the system is proof that the system most motherfucking definitely needs to be destabilized.

Big news today: StL Co. Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell is seeking to vacate Marcellus Williams' conviction. The MO AG thinks that revisiting wrongful convictions destabilizes the criminal legal system. So, yeah, expect the state to fight this. theintercept.com/2024/01/29/m...

St. Louis County Prosecutor Seeks to Vacate Death Penalty Conviction of Marcellus Williamstheintercept.com Citing crime scene DNA that didn’t match Marcellus Williams, Wesley Bell asked a Missouri court to review evidence of his innocence.
