Renee Good's partner addresses Minneapolis immigration crackdown one month after killing Becca Good has seldom spoken out since Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

A double knit hat in progress, against an orange bag. The hat is brown and cream wool, and a couple inches of a braided looking section of trim is coming together n brown and green wool.

Its SO tedious to knit, especially with double knitting, but Latvian braid stitch looks SO cool when it comes together

For example, when my depressing military history podcast covered the Ethiopian victory against the Italians in the Battle of Adwa, vs my extremely fluffy and occasionally very uncritically feminist cool ladies in history podcast covers the empress of Ethiopia, Taytu Betul,

i lost track of the amount of white men i saw wearing shorts yesterday downtown. first in the skyways where maybe it made sense. but then wandering the streets too. it was only like 22 degrees and windy

I did a whole series of locked tomb quotes for banner practice once but I don't think my sister would jam with that

I got excited and drew a bunch of banners on this card and now I have to figure out what words to put in them

I bet cher could do brooding

Okay, genuine question for my Train Nerds, how does a railroad track time internally when the railroad goes across multiple timezones? Utc?

If I cooked 8 sausages, and I ate 3 of them, but I only found 4 sausages left in the kitchen, how many did the four cats get each?

Trick question. Lois and the Bobbin split the one stolen sausage.

Especially wolf fish or other naturally spotted fish leathers. Just SO COOL.

Fish leather is so cool.

fwiw (which is not much) my perspective as an observer from the other side of the country who is taking notes, trying to prepare for my community’s turn in the crosshairs is: we should be looking for outlets for people’s heroic impulses.

Just heard about this book drive at The Red Balloon to get books to kids who are at home right now:

A friend pointed out that its likely a juvenile, so the eyes being orange/tawny fits.

You are allowed to peacefully protest against the government. The government cannot really impose any serious burden on you for being one of hundreds of thousands of people peacefully protesting against it. But you can impose a serious burden on yourself, and fellow protesters, by worrying too much.

We really, really need to squash this idea that the first step in effective protest is ensuring that nobody can ever identify who you are or distinguish you in any way

Happy abseiling lesbians day to all who celebrate!!!

Don't those always have the bright red eyes?

Birder friends, any idea on what this is? Looks like a raptor, but idk any more. Sorry about the blur, this was through a window and with a lot of zoom.

despite the papist overtones, i'm deeply considering requesting that my future funeral provide in memoriam prayer cards. i realize this is probably partially the ADHD of it all, but i really like having those little funereal pokemon cards. they help my memory a TON.

MISS LOIS why must you investigate the closet so thoroughly.

Honolulu biking community joins national unity ride in honor of Alex Pretti Members of Honolulu’s riding community rode from Kapiolani Park to Iolani Palace and back to show solidarity in Pretti’s honor.

I got out of bed with BIG PLANS for breakfast, then drew back the curtains and realized how much snow i was going to have to shovel, and just ate three pffernuse cookies, four string cheese, and drank a monster.

The german etsy store i got my antifa moomintroll sweatshirt from is gone... sad

For Liam.

There isn’t any indication that immigration activity has changed in Minneapolis. In fact, this afternoon, federal immigration agents began staging at Holy Rosary Catholic Church located in East Phillips. This activity is disgraceful and creates an unsafe environment for our neighbors. 1/

Keeping Warm I have seen so many people out at protests recently who are clearly New. This is WONDERFUL. It genuinely warms my heart to see Minnesotans turning out to protest the injustice and illegality that the federal occupation is perpetuating in the Twin Cities and the larger state. That being said,

Oh right. I blogged about how to KEEP WARM OUT THERE.
