Marc punished again for an unwritten rule!
Today Marc was punished with two months of no commissary (food, shampoo, soap, stamps, etc.) and his cellmate for one month because I gave his cellmate money! Apparently it's against the rules even though it's not in the rule book. Marc was staying healthy eating nuts, trail mix, and tuna and turkey packets from commissary, now he has to "survive" on meals like peanut butter, bread, and rice.

Worldwide rallies for Marc, and sadness for Canada
Yesterday I had a wonderful visit with Marc. Our visits are almost always positive and enjoyable, save for a few times when the stress of the situation made one or both of us sensitive and emotional.

Toronto Hash Mob Take Up Marketing
A mostly awesome day in Toronto. Naturally there’s a few glitches when we protest, that’s why we work from a playbook not plan. We can march to the US Consulate on University Ave in 25 minutes, but this time we were nearly an hour late. Toronto Hash Mob is big on making a grand entrance anyway. If we arrived at two-clock no one would be there to cheer when we show up. There were several reasons for our lateness. Besides being potheads.
