REI also outfitted ICE in Minneapolis this winter, in case you need another reason to stop shopping there.
The thousands of feds were easier to spot at first because they very obviously weren't dressed for the cold, and that stood out. Then, they went shopping, and REI was happy to sell to them.

#grief seems appropriate that I can finally pick it up again now
Highly recommend I Love Hue for a non-addictive phone game if you need something to occupy your brain a little and all you have is your phone. I was finally able to delete the other games from my phone, with the exception of Walkscape.
#grief The Wood Wife by Terri Winding has been one of my favorite books for a very long time (I was obsessed with all the anthologies she edited when I was younger) but I haven't been able to pick it up since my dad died because I read it three times in a row to get through that time.
#grief in an effort to keep my brain/hands busy but not doomscroll or play addictive phone games, I've been crocheting a lot but I also managed to pick up and read a book for the first time in literal years.
#petdeath #grief Ended up spending two weeks at a friend's with her and her dogs, which was lovely but it wasn't any easier coming home a few days ago. We worked through putting away more of Cali's things today... Hug or boop or give your pets some love for me today. ❤️
Welp, my last post broke containment so now random people are liking that VERY sad post and I am blocking all of them.
I wish all of my nonbinary friends relief from back pain
❤️❤️❤️❤️
#petdeath #grief Cali passed away suddenly on Monday so I am going full hermit rn. V and I ran away from our place for a while and are staying at a friend's so we don't need to face the... everything. Momo was sick for months and that was tough in its own way but to suddenly lose her has been hard

Babe, wake up, new sarcastic but entirely worthwhile internet abbreviation just dropped
Burnout is clinically understood as a combo of 6 factors—work overload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, breakdown in community, absence of fairness, & value conflicts—and only a fraction of it is under your control. Burnout is a systemic problem, so be kind to yourself and hard on the system.
New pronoun labeller since the old one doesn't work anymore!

What an incredible mark!
I started doing art embroidery last year because my headphones decided to flake vinyl into my mouth. I thought, why not do something incredible that I've always wanted to try? Now I'm doing a larger piece to be framed in a shadowbox.
I get that everyone who is in the know knows this already but I am quite happy for a publication to be surfacing it again, especially for readers who may not be aware
one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it
Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”
Anyone with library experience looking for a contract job in Portland? This is probably a clusterfuck, but maybe in a NW Gothic way
Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.
It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.
Do you live in WA State? Do you think rich people should have to pay their fair share to balance our horrifically unbalanced state budget and fund state services? Take two minutes and sign in PRO on SB 6346! The opposition is flooding the testimony! Don't let them!

Ferbruary #oldknees
happy rectangular february, sunday-first world.
being pedantic about what is and is not a general strike isn't helpful (I'm doing my best!) but man, if we want to take these fuckers down, building power starts in the workplace. keep protesting, keep organizing, but also TALK TO YOUR COWORKERS. JOIN A UNION. then you can start talking strikes.
I post this link merely as a cultural curiosity and not so that anyone could print one if, say, whistles were banned. Obviously that would be wrong.
it’s that time of year again when everyone and their cousin is looking for a therapist!
if that’s you or someone you know and you’re completely overwhelmed/have no idea what to say, here’s an outreach template that includes everything i (a therapist) would need to know about a prospective client.
Happy 3 year anniversary to this post
Happy large boulder the size of a small boulder day for all who celebrate
