Trying to catch a baby duck is like trying to hold water, or happiness, in your hands. They seem to be Schrodingers ducks for how rapidly and unexpectedly they move.
And an adult duck? They sometimes pet you back! I kept ducks for a while and one would regularly preen my fingers as though they were feathers.
I just had a third package stolen out of my mailbox in a month. I don't usually feel this way, but your post speaks to me. Can I move to another country yet?
What if my USPS packages keep disappearing, asupposedly reputable sender. I don't know if they are making it to my mailbox, or if they're stolen after making it to my mailbox.
I've talked to so many rich white Republicans who thought the other Hispanics would be deported, not the Hispanics that they know. Leopards and faces, you know.
And if you have connections to Latino organizations in your area, let them know! There are great groups rising up and getting ICE information out to vulnerable people en masse.
Agreed. It always makes me think of Nascar, lol. But the other half represents a pro-Confederate family, and I'd love to hear someone explain how the city of Baltimore has continued to accept that. "Bigger fish to fry" and "not wanting to alienate racists" is all I can come up with.
I grew up 2 blocks from a train station that would start running routes every 10 min starting at 5:30 or so. Oh boy I can't believe I slept through it as a kid, I wouldn't be able to now without re-acclimating.
My city has had good turnout for a few protests in the last few months, but yesterday was the first time we took to the streets and caused a few traffic jams. I know it isn't much, but it is an escalation. It was like scratching an itch, and I'm ready for whatever's next.
Citizenship question: my grandfather's parents were born in Ireland. My grandfather, who didn't know he had been adopted until much later in life (by a Jewish woman), became an Irish citizen in his 50s and had dual citizenship until his death.
As a desperate American.... can I get Irish citizenship through my grandfather, a naturalized Irish citizen who was not born in Ireland?? I can (understandably) not find an answer to this on the Irish citizenship website.
Sincerely,
an American who spent 12 hours protesting at a No Kings rally yesterday
Also realize that there are different places you might feel comfortable driving. For example, I try to avoid driving through large towns and cities as much as I can. I'd rather someone else drive. There's just too much going on while watching for cars, traffic cues, as well as pedestrians.
On the flip side, my brother hit another car on his very first driving lesson and never drove again! He's happily living in a city with public transportation :-) just make sure you're able to get around without relying on others.
Volunteer firefighters (USA), those guys do important work and do not get tax money.
