A bystander took a heart-wrenching picture of Liam Ramos in his hat and Spiderman backpack, and there was pressure, and he and his father are free. We must not forget all the prisoners still in the camps whose names and faces are known only to their loved ones. We must make miracles for them, too.

Some of you may be too young to have appreciated Bruce's 41 shots: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQMq... - if yes, you should listen to it. And you should know that the NYPD and NJ cops pitched a MAJOR FIT over it.

I just finished Lessons in Magic and Disaster by @charliejane.bsky.social & you know that song from Spring Awakening about how love can be a wound & a bruise? It's like that. It's a story of big loves that break you but can also fix you & it settled into my heart like a splinter (or maybe a root)

A biologist researching raccoon-human interactions in Cozumel gets hassled by tourists if she wears work clothes that disrupt their vacation fantasy mindset, so she does her science in a bikini (this scenario sorely needs a human behaviorist observing the tourists observing her observing raccoons) 🦝
