##DogDaysofAdvent Day 10: Ribbon Put your finger right there, sweetie. She could still feel her own small hand, steadying the ribbon the same way her daughter was doing now. www.patreon.com/posts/tbm-25...

The transformer outside gave a low, uneasy hum, faltering just long enough to make her pause with the mixing bowl in her hands. Then the lights blinked once — sharp, warning — and everything went dark. www.patreon.com/posts/tbm-25...

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.” As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

Even in the movies, scenes of the White House getting blown up by invading aliens or terrorists feel emotionally unsettling. It’s the People’s House after all. So imagine having to witness its destruction in real life…and the culprit is the President.

Ooh, I'm so verklempt. The holodeck! It's an energy-to-matter converter, using force fields and holographic emitters to make solid, breathable environments. You can have a whole planet, right there! But, God forbid, the safety protocols fail, and then whoosh, you're eaten by a holodeck lion!

A really great self reflection here. Our future tries to teach us to see ourselves each as Heroes on the Heroes Journey to change society, when instead we need to see ourselves as part of a community shifting and changing. Individual and community need to be balanced - not one over the other.

Midnight. The fridge light. The whisper of “just one bite.” You raid your fridge; we raid the reef. Everyone’s pretending it’s fine. #MidnightSnacks #SpookySeason #SeaHumor #OceanObservations #LateNight

www.patreon.com/posts/tbm-25... So today, we remember the women who marched, protested, and risked it all to crack open those voting booths. And we also honor the ones who had to keep fighting long after 1920, because justice doesn’t always arrive on time.
