Work in Progress 🌻<p>POST IMMEDIATELY & WIDELY! <br>12 noon-1 pm AAUP Emergency Rally <br>HANDS OFF MOMODOU TAAL<br>@ Cornell’s Administration Bldg <br> -Day Hall<br>Speakers: National Immigration Atty Eric Lee, AAUP Pres. Atty Risa Lieberwitz, Sandra Babcock of CU Law School<br>From Eric Lee, Momodou Taal's attorney: </p><p>Hello All:</p><p>Today, just days after Momodou Taal sued Donald Trump challenging the constitutionality of the executive orders, plain clothed agents from an unidentified law enforcement agency made what we believe to be an attempt to detain and deport Momodou. They staked out his house and set up a presence at various points on on campus. One officer flashed a badge at one of Momodou's roommates and an employee at his residence. Other agents refused to identify themselves to additional eyewitnesses, who noticed police apparati in vehicles. This was not one or two agents, it was an operation.</p><p>A half hour ago we filed for emergency relief with the federal judge assigned to our case demanding she order the government to cease its attempt to deport Momodou. This is a flagrant attack on his right to seek redress from the government through the courts. We submitted affidavits from myself and two of the witnesses establishing factually what happened today and pointed the judge's attention to Trump's violation of the order of the DC Judge in the Alien Sedition Act case and his demand that the judge be impeached. This is part of an unprecedented breakdown of separation of powers unfolding before our eyes. We will update you when we hear from the court. </p><p>The government is testing the response of the campus community. Peaceful protests tomorrow would be entirely appropriate if you think they could be organized. Otherwise the federal agents will be back and they'll continue to threaten Momodou. At this point even an order from the district court may not even stop them. Please reach out with any further questions and thank you for all of your support.

Raye :tattoo_butt:<p>I'm sitting here looking at the forecast high which will be borderline spring into summer (65F/18.3C), with a haircut this afternoon so I really should get out and walk, like, now (11:30am), and I find myself contemplating the audacity of wearing shorts on March 11th.</p><p><a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/Ithaca" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ithaca</span></a> <a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/Weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Weather</span></a></p>
Raye :tattoo_butt:<p>Spurred by the glorious temperature (60F/15.5C), I went past the point I usually flip back in Cass Park, went thru and past the marina, and found a stunning bird trail that went further before looping back to the waterfront trail. My phone says 5.7 miles or 16,291 steps. </p><p>I felt like taking off my sweatshirt most of the walk but kept it on because I was not wearing sunscreen and was not about to get burnt on my first long walk of the good weather. </p><p><a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/Ithaca" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ithaca</span></a> <a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/WeirderWalkPosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WeirderWalkPosting</span></a></p>
Raye :tattoo_butt:<p>Went out to run an errand and had to come back to the house via an entirely different street and direction because the sidewalk I used to leave my house was closed behind me as I departed.</p><p>It would appear from the digging up extending onto the property next door that the house just west of us is having a individual sewer leak issue. </p><p>The vibrational phase has begun, and there's something out there that causes a really deep shake that comes up through the entire house and feels more like an earthquake starting than I would prefer.</p><p><a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/Ithaca" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ithaca</span></a> <a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/Repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Repair</span></a></p>
Raye :tattoo_butt:<p>it's just 8am, and with the kids downstairs away for the last few days, it's been blissfully quiet, so the "municipal noise" this morning was noticeable. I just came back in from the balcony, where I could observe digging equipment assembling, and guys making spray paint marks on the street.</p><p>It looks like they are gearing up to do some sort of street-digging-up project right in front of my house but the website of city projects has nothing so I can't tell what is about to happen or for how long it's going to take place. </p><p>And before anyone says anything about noise-cancelling headphones, I'd like to just scream "environmental vibrations, you dumbass."</p><p><a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/Ithaca" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ithaca</span></a> <a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/Urban" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Urban</span></a> <a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/Noise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Noise</span></a></p>
Raye :tattoo_butt:<p>I got out for a really lovely walk today. Sunny and not too muddy, so I meandered around one of the areas that is designated bird preserve near Stewart Park. That downed tree and displaced bench are extremely recent, there’s just enough intact trail to get past. I’m guessing the winds in the last two days did this.</p><p>That remaining creek ice will face warmer temps over the next few days.</p><p><a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/Ithaca" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ithaca</span></a> <a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/Trees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trees</span></a></p>

Raye :tattoo_butt:<p>It rained steadily all day today but temps got a little over 50F (10C) out there. I only got out as far as the balcony but it felt incredibly nice to just stand there in a shirt and no jacket. </p><p>An acquaintance in Long Beach, CA reacted to the squirrel picture with “wow, your squirrels are grey, mine are brown!”</p><p><a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/BalconyLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BalconyLife</span></a> <a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/Ithaca" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ithaca</span></a></p>
Raye :tattoo_butt:<p>Yesterday afternoon, I went out and got a 3.8 mile walk, and I got to do it in regular shoes and a sweatshirt. It was about 46F (7.7C). The heavy rain made some spots muddy but I mostly stuck to the waterfront paved trail and looped around Stewart Park.</p><p><a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/Ithaca" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ithaca</span></a> <a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/Lake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lake</span></a></p>
Nick 🚴🏻♂️🍳<p>I am so grateful that I can explore the outdoors in my backyard. Yesterday I went on a quick hike in the Six Mile Creek gorge area and witnessed this icy cliff. In a few days as the temperature climbs above freezing this will all melt and float down to Cayuga Lake.</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/outdoors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outdoors</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/winter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>winter</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ithaca" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ithaca</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/newyork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>newyork</span></a></p>

Raye :tattoo_butt:<p>Tomorrow morning at 8am, my house building is going to have the furnaces inspected. This is a good thing as it's our landlord upholding their responsibilities.</p><p>The furnaces have been running around the clock in below freezing temps for two months now, and who knows when they were last inspected?</p><p>The downstairs neighbors learned through their adventures in trying to get out of the lease early that a sublet cannot be listed as the building has not had a compliance inspection since 2019. We just got an email saying that whole-building inspection will happen in mid-April. </p><p>I'm guessing the landlord is open to the neighbors leaving earlier. Really, there's no issue renting a space in this town.

Even with the chilly temps, and dawn happening about 6:50am local time, there has been a very obvious increase in morning birdsong in the hour to either side of sunrise in the last two weeks.
The Eastern Redbud tree in front of the house has kept its seed pods all winter. At some point in March, it will produce a pink-purple flower that grows directly from the main branches and covers the whole tree surface in a way that is described attractively. I am curious to see this.
Counting today, the forecast says six days over freezing. After weeks of deep freeze, the break is most welcome.
Tomorrow is forecast to be a high of 19F (-7.2C) and a low of 13F (-10.5C), feeling colder with the wind chill. Flurries will be off and on.
I have two chores it would be helpful to do Friday day, and they are not really near one another so I may just cleat and uncleat as needed, and go have an arctic adventure.
Continued thread
Went out to my body work appointment. There’s a layer of thin snow over crunchy ice in a lot of spots but it was patchy enough that cleats were not a good option. Like with snow chains on tires, you need a good coating of snow to make them work right.
Although really brutal on the thermometer, it was sort of pleasant to walk outside. I should cleat up and hoof around the next time we get some fresh snow. The frozen creek is beautiful.
