This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

ConFluence ConFluence is a 2-day convention in Northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota celebrating art, sci-fi, fantasy, futurisms, and fandom centered on content by and for Black people, Indigenous people, and people ...

Just got tickets to ConFluence and Aabria Iyengar is a special guest!!! Fandom/nerdy folks in Minnesota - do you have your tickets yet??

I consider it a sort of sacrament to eat at least one raspberry from every patch I find.

Evening activities include baking chocolate chip cookies and designing the invitation to my friend’s cat’s quinceañera.

Trump Budget Office Is Withholding H.I.V. Funds That Congress Appropriated

If you're interested in the playbook for how our government is intentionally (and illegally) withholding funds appropriated by Congress, this @nytimes.com article explores to playbook: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/h...

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

I was not put on this earth to work. I was put here to get a new hobby every week and then move on as soon as I get even a little bit good at it

This time of the year I can’t resist the voices of my ancestors saying, “Eat all the fruit and vegetables you can! Pickle and preserve the rest! ALL OF IT!!”

I keep my antidepressants in the same drawer as my watercolors.

I hated the first 10 minutes of Murderbot… but oh boy did the final episode make up for it.

Paramount+ sub = $60 a year

Shift that $ to your @pbs.org station instead and you’ll do two good things at the same time. Do it.

Currently watching steampunk D&D while eating a phenomenal “what’s been in the freezer too long?” monstrosity of a meal, drinking a THC seltzer, while my dog naps next to me. My younger self didn’t even know she could dream of this.

Watch parties at @blackhartstp.com never disappoint!

Hot dog. Full sploot.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Sitting with my beloveds, listening to waves lapping at some of the oldest rocks on the planet, is pretty hard to beat.

Of course its name is Gaia. Of course.

I just got to the episode of Andor where a peaceful city is occupied by military forces and citizens are coaxed into a confrontation where heavily armored troops attack a legally gathered crowd and then the media is like “violent protestors” and I just wish this show was applicable to real life

No Kings in Two Harbors, Minnesota. Rally moved indoors to a packed church as we mourned the shootings this morning. Joining in person with neighbors feels more important than ever.

Fours different hands pull a golden crown apart, surrounded by the words "Many hands make light work."

No kings

My inner monologue has been that long tense note that plays in all the disaster movie trailers for far too long and I'm getting pretty tired of it.

Winning the Middle What makes for a purity test? What makes for a big tent? Unpacking the apparently pragmatic demand that we Speak Low about fascists to beat fascism.

If you've been trying to put words to why all the "big tent" talk about "winning the middle" to defeat fascism that's coming from allegedly moderate alleged pragmatists seems like such wrong-minded nonsense, well I wrote all about that.

Whimsical folk festivals are just top-tier cute human behavior. Let’s all gather to celebrate the sharpening of a giant pencil!

Thank you for saying it!

I hope you love something beautiful and meaningless. For me, it's football. I don't care what it is for you, but I wish you a deep love for something that means nothing until you give it meaning through your attention.

How do I convince YouTube advertisers that I’m not into D&D for war games, but to play pretend and explore community, resistance, and emotions with my best friends???

I made a silent puppet film about Godzilla vs. Paul Bunyan.

(thank you to @iamchubbybunny.bsky.social for Japanese translations and @okaywolf.ink for clanky piano!!)

OKAY so it's our first major severe storm of the season tomorrow so it's time for a little STORM SAFETY, particular with high winds/tornados!

Stay inside! No, you don't need to run that errand. You don't need to order delivery. Just stay inside.

If you’re new to D&D, Dungeons & Drag Queens (2 seasons) is a great intro and a lot of fun. Otherwise I suggest picking a campaign with the full cast (Intrepid Heroes) to get to know their dynamic. Season trailers will let you know the theme and tone. Have fun!!!

Minnesota Progress Pride flag

A pal on Mastodon made this and it seems like a thing #Minnesota friends might be interested in. (As in, you can purchase this flag. There are also stickers.) Repost to spread the word if you are inclined. They are not on Bsky. mnprogresspride.shop
