1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

this stuff is happening across the country and even more intensively downstream of the veterans admin but it's happening in so many places at once and without any public notification that it's still only barely emerging in the news

I think of the many people who find various ways to be close to the sick, becoming a sign of the Lord’s presence for them. We need this “miracle of tenderness” to accompany those who face adversity, in order to bring a little light into the night of pain.

Shocking but not surprising is a phrase I've often reverted to in the past eight years, for things that are both hideous and predictable, maybe transgressive against the old order but everyday under Trump....

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Just discovered MW wrote a Murderbot story for this free book, Take us to a Better Place, stories about a culture of health. Since Murderbot takes place mostly in a futuristic dystopia where most people are held in slavery by mega corporations, I'm imagining it will be pretty depressing. #BookSky📚💙

Next up for Plague Book Club: The Black Angels by Maria Smilios. I heard an interview with Smilios and this sounds promising. It's the story of the black nurses who worked in NYC tuberculosis sanitoriums in the early 20th century. #BookSky💙📚

Today Short Reads Book Club is discussing an interesting one, Nightfall by Isaac Asimov (the short story, 1941). It's an interesting concept - a planet with six suns that never experiences darkness is about to experience a full solar eclipse. #Booksky📚💙 #classicscifi #asimov

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

So... in the 70s, Avon had a "Satanic Gothic" line of romance paperbacks. I have this Pocket edition, but the Avon Original paperback has an even better cover with a little Satan logo in the corner. #booksky💙📚 #gothicromance #avon
