Happy belated birthday, Trudy. July 14, 1938-2026. 

 Liberate Palestine. Stop the genocidal regime. Speak up for the victims. Stop the killing machine. Support human rights. Save the life of all of us. 

 the entity called israel has no right to exist, let alone to merge with the entity called the united states, to menace and kill people and destroy the earth, but i guess in reality no one has the right to exist, if might is right. anyway, be that as it may, pray for the resistance, and blessed be the cats of peace.

 The day after I get a note from Joy, Palaces of the Crow shows up at the library. Pshaw, I shouldn't even question providence, as I'm lucky to be alive, and I've gotten 5555 books so far. That's more books than the number of data centers in North America, which -AI tells me is 4826. I'm going to ride my blue bike to the library and then to the lake, as -AI says it's 100 degrees of heat.

 So, now they want to make it official: The United States of Israhell.

 I wrote a note to Joy at the library enquiring about the delivery stasis. Joy said I know it's frustrating but we have seen significant improvement in our delivery process and hold times. I don't believe the entire system was down to two drivers, and I do believe Joy is gaslighting, and there's something deeper going on. I fear for the fate of the public library, and all of us denizen readers who depend on it for our mental and spiritual health.

 If some people can escape the dystopia I envy them. I think we have to stay here, for now anyway. We just bought a grave. We're quite lucky to be blessed by the loving presence of Olive Palestine. We dream of a sane and just world, along with the resistance and the cats of peace.
