I happened to spot in the calendar that today is the Sámi National Day, in memory of the first Sámi congress of 1917.

I rode my bicycle to the public library ( like a commie) and they were giving out cards for people getting hassled by ICE (explaining in English that they consent to nothing, get a warrant, etc). They also had menstrual products in the men’s room for trans people. It was a regular hotbed of anti-‘merican vibes I tell ya.

I listen to podcasts on Spotify and today I got int my car and Spotify started up (it connects to the bluetooth automatically and plays) and it was a Joe Rogan show. I have not once ever listened to Joe Rogan on Spotify.
