What can I do as an American living in the UK to fuck with ICE and cause disruption to their bullshit?
The UK tax year ends 5 Apr (why? something about Julian to Gregorian calendar and Jesus...) but we have over 9mos, 31 Jan, to file. In a moment of hyperfocus I managed to gather all my numbers and info into my spreadsheet on 6 April last year. Then stubbornly waited until just now to send it in...
I support this endeavor
Happy Christmas Eve! Enjoy these tasty jazz harmonies from Vince Guardali’s Christmas Time is Here from A Charlie Brown Christmas, arranged by DB Williams and adopted by me for clarinet sextet
