Tiny Dog Time

At 7 p.m. Thursday, more than 100 people gathered outside the Homewood Suites by Hilton in Edina to protest the hotel reportedly hosting ICE agents. They came with drums, loudspeakers, megaphones and car horns and a goal to make as much noise as possible.

Also, it sounds like people have figured out which hotel the ICE agents are staying at and are giving them a lovely overnight musical performance with drums and vuvuzelas and so on.

A graphic featuring a black ink illustration of a falcon with his wings partly open. Title: “Keep Hope Alive: a Gaza giving circle". Text: Six families are completely starting over—amidst their grief and pain, they have lost their homes, livelihoods, and communities, and must still seek food and shelter. Help them start over and continue to survive this life-and-death situation. Give and be matched: https://tinyurl.com/HopeGivingCircle.”

We're matching $600 ‼️ We start week 33 of the giving circle—a project that is crumbling, but we keep going.

Our pledge is to try to bring reliable, weekly survival help to six families & a camp. The 'weekly' is faltering, so can you pledge a coffee and click 'weekly'? chuffed.org/project/hope...

This is actually a really common scam these days. A scammer will call and use AI to replicate a family member’s voice and the family member will sound distressed and having an emergency so you don’t have time to think. Best thing to do is hang up and call that family member “back” to confirm.

Helping a Palestinian farmer always seems like a good way to help keep indigenous control of Palestinian land.

Men, this is a direct statement to men, if I see you casually use the word hysteria or hysterical to describe a woman disagreeing with you or saying something which you find audacious? I'm going to block you. If you don't know why, go look up the history of that term. If you disagree? Perish.

What kind of weirdo am I? The kind of weirdo who goes to a politician's contact page to ask them to have their social media manager for BlueSky start alt-texting.🤷🏿‍♂️

A screenshot of a white board with smudgy, black bars of uneven paint crisscrossing every surface. They are not orderly or thorough, but no surface has been left untouched. "Because I Love You" - Lex Marie

When we talk about abstract art and someone suggests that they don't see how it has any point, I want you to think of this piece. By a Black artist Lex Marie, an acrylic on wood piece painted by dipping a belt in black paint and repeatedly hitting the board.

It's called "Because I Love You".
