The threats are real, but so is our power. ICE relies on fear and isolation. We can counter with preparation and solidarity. COYOTE has put together an evolving list of resources and tips for immigrants and their allies — for our current era and for all the difficult times to come.

Applying for new jorbs this past week. Forgot how disheartening this process is. Even worse amid high unemployment and the return-to-office trend. I’ve got a powerful resume and I shine in interviews, but it feels like I’m whispering in a hurricane.

Unironically good advice

I hope I live long enough to see the looks on the faces of future historians when they’re trying to comprehend just wtf is going on right now. (I hope we live through this, and that the future will have historians [and humans].) Interesting times.

Re-watching The Bad Guys for like the nth time, and I keep being struck by how much the soundtrack during dramatic parts sounds like echoes of the soundtrack from 1997’s film Passion in the Desert. Like, practically quoting it. Anyone else catching this vibe? 🐆🦊

I feel strongly that I have unfinished business in Santa Fe. Low-key aiming myself that direction, but staying open as always to the universe’s unexpected energies and opportunities, no matter how weird or mundane (leaning, of course, toward weird)

This body is mine…

Me: The other day I googled “how many fingers does the Muppet Pepé the Prawn have?” and the Ai overview(that I can’t turn off) at the top of the page said “Pepé has 4 arms with 4 fingers on each hand, which means he has 8 fingers total.” Your friend trusts THAT to fix his car.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes. Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

As a shapeshifter, kin to all things living and not, I’ve been labeled a coyote so long that lately I’m not sure I can see my own shape. If I weren’t coyote, how would you see me?

Animal as a Ghostbuster. Pepé next! #Muppets

Visiting the Keystone State again after a few years away, and there are WAY fewer signs/stickers/etc supporting the current administration than before. Is that a sign that his supporters are cooling on the regime? Anyone else in highly red areas see a similar (or different) trend?

This reminds me of the cocktail specials we used to make up for Long Beach’s Tail furclub back in the early daysssss. We sure had some real groaners, but the hokier they were, the more the bar sold 🐾🍹

Thank you universe for the energies that have carried me into and through such amazing experiences, and which have also brought me to this current…current. Every time I think I’m walking away from an amazing situation and into nothingness, you provide me with more opportunities than I could wish for

Long read. Worth every second.

nice lady: What the hell are you doing? me: Eating dinner. lady: You just put barbecue sauce in your Cheerios. me: Yeah. It’s, like, 4 o’clock. I can’t use milk. That’d be breakfast. lady: …. Savage.

On a boat for the next six and a half hours, and I really don’t understand why I’m so delighted by the idea of it sinking. Shit has been rough lately, but that doesn’t mean I’m ready for the ship to go down. Unless I can thusly form a partnership with a castaway horse and live on a desert island

Good night, Gatcat. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.

Okay, apparently tonight was surprise karaoke night, so I snuck in one last song, and even if I didn’t nail every note of this never-rehearsed song “what does the fox say,” I had the audience in my paw. Good swan song. 🦊🐾

Oh frith, I thought I was running out of money, but I just looked at my bank balances and it’s nowhere near as dire as I’ve been imagining. I’m going to be okay. Everything is going to be fine. It’s fine. 🔥🐶

Open up your eyes.

Physical therapist this morning was pushing down on my pelvis and thanked me for “being so bony.” I don’t think anyone has ever called me bony in my life, but I ain’t complaining. 💀

“I smell weird, and I hope people notice” go home, Gat. You’re drunk. (and smelly)

A friend asked me recently what’s the point of going on living? and honestly I don’t have a great answer. Do I have a greater purpose in life? No. Am I excited about my career options? The opposite of hell yes. But.
