Want to send an anonymous Valentine to other kinksters?

Give to the Wicked Grounds scholarship fund! We use the proceeds to provide scholarship seats for our classes. More educated and consent-forward kinksters means better public scenes for all players. Everybody wins! (And giving feels GOOD!)

There is a bottom, turn turn turn

And this is why YOU are a Rabbi and I am a lapsed Jewish Studies major. ;) - Mir

I love that order/ chaos muppets are still a thing. You may be interested to know that I've explained the Yetzer HaTov and Yetzer HaRa as Order Muppets and Chaos Muppets and I've honestly found no better conceptual model to explain the topic. - Mir

Bless you, my child. Well done!

We adore Karri! TC Leather also used to run a kink cafe, so we've collaborated and chatted several times over the years. Find out what they're up to right now as they help with Twin Cities organizing.

This St. Paul queer safe space is doing all the right things, including participating in strikes against ICE in their city. Having run a queer safe space (& having participated in the first inaugural strike), Wicked Grounds stands in solidarity with them.

Their merch looks rad. Maybe support them?

This Twin Cities fundraiser is so close to their goal. Let’s do the thing.

Good for you! Taking mental rest days can help you be much more present on the other days. All things in balance.

Not to reduce everything to pop culture, but Black Mirror’s “Men Against Fire” is pretty much what’s going on: white nationalists see legal immigrants and refugees as vermin. Full stop. What they do follows from that logic.

(The resistance sees neighbors. It is pretty much that simple.)

Update: The Trans bathroom bounty hunter bill in Kansas has just passed the Kansas House.

They have rushed it to the Senate for passage.

If it passes, the most extreme anti-trans bill in the nation is about to be sent to the Governor's desk.

Live here.

This is how it's done, folks. Please find ways to support Black Hart, and keep queer safe spaces going in these weird times.

Resistance Bells

Just became aware of ANOTHER new song about the Minnesota Troubles, making three new ones on our radar today.

If you'd like to keep up with the growing list, WG Northern HQ has started a playlist. Know a song that should be here? Message, please!

While we're on the subject of absolute musical legends writing songs about the current moment

I can't say Springsteen gets a lot of play up here in the WG Northern HQ, but . . . this made me cry.

Hey you!

(Yes, you.)

What is ONE THING you will do to stay in touch with your lovingkindness and your values today? Who will you help? How will you connect?

You don't have to say it, but you sure as heck should DO it.

Put on your own oxygen mask. But then DO help others.

Keeping queer spaces open is critical. Every person who wishes we still had a cafe: please help this brick and mortar queer space get the support it needs. (It's not much, not at all.)

THE DILDO DISTRIBUTION DELEGATION The revolution did not arrive with speeches, pamphlets, or a carefully moderated Zoom call about optics.

The powers that be did not plan for a box of dicks.

“If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be part of your revolution.” - Emma Goldman

Can confirm that the social network FetLife is also full of great anti-ICE posts this week.

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

There has been a bit of Brass Against in the northern WG HQ this week.

Mir wrote their senators tonight. Will you?
