A white button with a black ring on the outer edge with the text "It's an icy day in Minnesota and you are a noisy loon." The middle features a drawing of a loon in the art style of Untitled Goose Game and three lines indicating it's making noise

Cackled the whole time I was making this button

It was a very much needed morale boost

A reminder to the news media: β€œconflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Oh its not dampened for any rejection reasons

I just did a lot of choir as a kid (the neutral enunciations!) + dabbled in languages + have a brain that likes to match what I hear, so it's kinda subconscious

Most of the time when I consciously release my MN accent, it's as a party trick haha

Please check in with your tap water temperature readings. Valid submissions must include your neighborhood and a photo of a thermometer under your tap.

Racket wants to hear from you, Minnesota. We want to hear how the ICE occupation has changed your life, and we want the world outside of Minnesota to know as well.

If you are looking for ways to help those who are scared or have been impacted, we will be a donation drop off for Neighborhood House. See the graphic on what their wants are.

We have a table in the taproom that has resources, whistles and guides that you may find useful.

Today: Let my corner store know that the president posted their storefront pic (along with others) with fraud accusations so they could prepare for the fallout

Yesterday: Spent my break watching the firetrucks blocking my street in case the rumors of masked agents pulling alarms was accurate

There's a book I read years ago called Milk, Sulphate, and Alby Starvation. In it, Big Milk would go after folks knocking milk products, including for lactose intolerance reasons. Up to assassins.

Anyway, there have been too many news stories in recent years that have made me think about this book

Hey everyone,

We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history.

Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

During difficult times it's important to take a break & recharge your batteries

If that looks like dancing, enjoying art, or learning something new in good company, I rounded up some events at TCG that might fit the bill

And if you're staying home for safety, plenty of them are virtual too

We've got whistles (and ear plugs) for you and all your friends! We've got bathrooms if you're out observing and need a public restroom! We've got free posters and dirty bumper stickers for free if you want to make sure your minivan doesn't get confused with ICE! Here until 5pm!
