Some person. She Ra. TLT. Scarlet Morning. Nimona. KPDH. Politics. Gardening. Reskeets are not endorsements. This is a personal account.

A clear bowl of sourdough with lots of bubbles, just pulling away from the silicone lid.
The cover of Scarlet Morning by ND Stevenson, showing two adolescents with a book and a lantern in front of a red sun, a shadowy figure, and ships’ masts. One youth has a long scarf.
The photo of the octopus sculpture is zoomed in and cropped to focus on the bronze base where tiny octopods climb.
A snip from the article saying, “ Georgia lawmakers had expanded the legal definition of domestic terrorism to include damaging certain types of property — deterrence aimed at the burgeoning Black Lives Matter movement, which had also inspired a wave of state bills”
A snip from the article that says, “Actual prejudice against Jews became hard to combat, because any discussion of antisemitism was tainted by the nakedly repressive project of the university.”
Snippet from the article says, ‘“We don’t need to vote in five different languages. We learn the language,” said Moreno, a Colombian immigrant, wrongly claiming that English is the national language. “It means you assimilate. You become part of America; America doesn’t become part of you.”’
A snip of the article with the whole quote, ‘He asserted, without evidence, that other countries were emptying their prisons of “young people” and sending them across the border. “I don’t know if you call them ‘people,’ in some cases,” he said. “They’re not people, in my opinion.” He later referred to them as “animals.”’

From the article, a snippet shows the paragraph, “Dismantling the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has long been a goal of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who orchestrated efforts in 2016 to help Trump and hurt Clinton’s electoral prospects. Members of NATO—which includes the U.S, Canada and 29 European countries—pledge to defend any other nation that gets attacked”
A snip of the quote in the previous skeet: “Just like Harriet Tubman…”
Quote from the article says, “Even Biden campaign officials are making that point. “We are running a campaign like the fate of our democracy depends upon it. Because it does,” campaign manager Julia Chavez Rodriguez has said. But there is another element that is more subtle. “The choice for voters,” Rodriguez said, “will not simply be between competing philosophies of government. The choice will be about protecting our democracy and every American’s fundamental freedom.” That’s where the media gets tripped up. In a constant show of performative neutrality, journalists tend to equalize the unequal, taking coverage down the middle even though that’s not where true fairness lies.”
A snippet from the wapo article that says, “Nafoz Hamad, 15, the youngest woman on the list, was convicted of attempted murder for a stabbing in East Jerusalem that injured her neighbor. Another woman was arrested for allegedly attacking an Israeli soldier with a pair of scissors.”
Newspaper quote: In private, Trump has told advisers and friends in recent months that he wants the Justice Department to investigate onetime officials and allies who have become critical of his time in office, including his former chief of staff, John Kelly, and former attorney general William P. Barr, as well as his ex-attorney Ty Cobb and former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Mark A. Milley, according to people who have talked to him, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations. Trump has also talked of prosecuting officials at the FBI and Justice Department, a person familiar with the matter said.
