Underground Railroad | 
My apologies for having not written more Haikus recently. My Haiku's have been on the darker side and political...I figured that I have been posting enough on these topics...
Then @CBee @dabbe & @Chrissyreadit inspired me July 2nd to write this Haiku. Thank You All for your kindness 🥰🫂💝.
This community is made magical by every Litten here 🪄💖💫.
Thank You Litten Friends For Being My Neighbor 🏠📚🏘️📚🏡💝.
Well, this is my mom's reaction to this crazy, disturbing TV show 😂. We only watched two out of the five seasons before we said enough.
Does anyone recall my post about when my mom accidentally purchased this “complete“ series? I will attach a link to that original post.
She had believed this to be a supernatural series from the late 1980s...

This post covers 4th of July and highlights three stories about a child and two women based on news reports.
This post in no way covers all the the stories happening in Los Angeles County NOR across California.
Please do further research to fact-check or if you would like to know more or want updates on the people highlighted here.
Please Note: I didn't include updates.
🙏🏼✊🏼🐻✌🏼.
Look, my old stash of pogs and slammers!
Kinda resembles crypto currency...don't they?? Am I rich? Do these make me a billionaire? Do I have extra book bucks?? 😂
LOL Collected these when I was growing up in the 1990s.

Okay, this is cheating. Greenland food mostly focuses on whale and seal meat, but I don't see myself eating that during my lifetime.
I just came back from Alaska and had Arctic food like salmon, chowder, and crab. This counts, right? 😅

I've been having an urge recently to spend money because if I buy something that will solve all my problems!
I had to go to a different part of the county today and hit up two libraries. I did not think about it at all and was lugging these books around in 30° heat 🥵
Home now and sitting in a dark room
Watch me not read any of my #libraryhaul but it scratched my itch
Thank You @debinhawaii for #5JoysFriday 💕🌺💖
1- Littens of Litsy, thank you my friends for your patience and understanding about my political posts ✊🏼🐻🙏🏼🦅✌🏼.
2- walked into a grocery store the other day (not the mean one that I've posted about) and my teenage soundtrack played from the stores speakers. Ahhh, the strange magic of music 🎶💖.
3- found Organic chocolate 🍫 candy made here in America 😋🍫💝.

From NBC Los Angeles
...she saw her sister being thrown to the ground before being arrested and forced into an unmarked car by unidentified officers near 9th and Main Street in downtown Los Angeles.
“We dropped off my sister to go to work like we always do, all of a sudden, my mom in the rearview mirror she saw how a man went on top of her. Basically, dropped her on the floor and started putting her in handcuffs and trying to arrest her,“ ...
Although this is based on a real life event, I didn't give real life details...I wanted to capture the sum of the scene.
I've caught the news coverage twice, and believe it was a Jacaranda that the poor woman held onto.
If a Jacaranda, it's strangely symbolic. Legend has said that this tree was blessed by a Goddess.
This Legend is in the next comment.
Then following the legend, there is an All Creator prayer. Creators Ancient and modern.

I'm struggling a bit with staying calm 🥺🤬🤨 during all of June.
First my dad couldn't understand my mom. They had an argument because my dad couldn't understand why my mom or I wouldn't go into the neighboring town to pick up a non-necessary item for him.
My mom and I have been remaining local. Again, we're Americans. But these masked men are kidnapping Americans and immigrates and placing them in unmarked vehicles.

Prayers and Good Vibes Please for the expedite of a new California law that would:
Outlaw bounty hunters and citizens from joining in on immigration sweeps.
Only permit medical masks to protect health. Outlaw other masks on agents.
Require that agents identify their branch, and that they are indeed U.S. agents.
I do not know if this law requires vehicles to be marked.
Or if it protects Americans from being harassed/arrested for filming.

Another Haiku based on my American Indigenous prospective. Please note that my Ancestral World was made up of many different Tribes with many different prospectives. What I share, is my favorite understandings of these Ancestral teachings.
The medicines of the Bear are among the most powerful. They are potent healers and enduring protectors (esp. kids). The very depiction of the bear or symbol of a bear paw is considered protective.
👇
You know, when U.S. agents first began terrorizing our streets, there was one really chaotic day of protests in the city of Los Angeles.
But Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom immediately worked to deescalate the chaos.
The following days weren't pretty, but many agitators were arrested, and the days became better and better.
I fully expected for Hollywood and celebrities across the board to join the mostly peaceful “No king Protests.“

Meet Hoss, a pencil fairy I made from a little pencil. Sits on a pencil sharpener rocking chair from Ponderosa Ranch.
Miss visiting the Ponderosa Ranch in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, USA. Such a fun, beautiful place. My family's, yearly vacation place when I was a child. We loved the breakfast hayride with eggs, sausage, etc. And the lake view 😍🌲🐎🌲💝💝💝.

We went from empty-nesters (3 years) to full house in less than 3 months. Our son moved back home after graduation from college, in anticipation of getting a local job. Last night, our daughter, son-in-law, and grandson moved in due to major mold damage in their rental. It means the next couple days will be busy packing up the rest of their house, but I get more time with this cutie! We had a great day today!
Thank You @debinhawaii for #5JoysFriday 💕🌺💖
1- Summer Solstice 🌞💖.
2- June 20, First official Cheech Marin Day in Los Angeles, CA 🎨💝.
3- my mom and I somehow calmed ourselves down after catching an unexpected live news conference. How could someone come and fib to us about our own City and State! But Californians refuse to be agitated 🤞🏼🐻✌🏼, we refuse to be lied about ✊🏼🐻✌🏼.
