What I’ve Noticed
Arizona enacted a law this week that makes it a state crime for undocumented immigrants to be in AZ. It’s basically an excuse for police to fuck with any and all brown people who accidentally leave their driver’s licenses at home. Did you get flowers for your significant other this Valentine’s Day?

What I’ve Noticed
Lights on how the Christian community accepts rapists and vilifies their victims. Green spaces make you healthier. I wonder if houseplants help.
