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.

 I'm going to finish Tintin In The New World, and then I'm going to reread Crusoe's Daughter, and then I'm going to continue with Nature's Engraver, and maybe by then the library will send one of the books held in the transit bardo that has arrested my queue. 

 From above, you can't really imagine the dystopia. Well, you can imagine it, you just can't quite see it, it looks like a model world, like pattern recognition, but you have to come down again.

 The ultimate goal, it seems reasonable to suspect, is the suppression of all anti-imperial causes and opinions, and all left-wing groups which pose a threat to the corporate-capitalist, warmongering, genocidal extinction economy. (Nate Bear)

The IRGC is the last line of defense against western hegemony and a Zionist world order which murders whoever it wants, whenever it wants, to get whatever it wants. No other group has fought so successfully against the military forces of imperialism in the last fifty years. This is their only crime. (Nate Bear)

Max Blumenthal was detained upon return to the forsaken country from the largest gathering in history, the funeral for the Imam of Iran, murdered by the U.S. regime, his devices seized. 

The terror state is everywhere. Where is humanity going?

 Olive found a tick this morning on the bedroom floor. We sigh a lot. ICE is like the IDF, executing people.
