Holy crap. I just realized one of my favorite movies turns 40 this year.

#Aliens was released in 1986…..AND I REMEMBER SEEING IT OPENING WEEKEND.

Fuck.

*cries in AARP*

I don't. In my mind, shuffling the deck cleanses them enough.

Damn. Not surprised, but...damn.

Screenshot of a Bluesky post from Scott Horton @RobertScottHorton.bsky.social that reads "In Minneapolis ordinary people with no connection whatsoever to Mexico are now flying Mexican flags, so ICE officers will waste hours pulling them over and questioning them. They call it "ICE fishing." H/t Mayra" With a picture of a white pickup truck with a big Mexican flag attached to it. Perspective of the picture is from the side of the truck. The truck is in motion driving down a road. The blurry background is of a nighttime street, the building is a more flat roof design, there is some greenery on the left side of the frame.

Reasons not to repost this:
Pic doesn't have alt text.
There's greenery in the background - so definitely not a recent pic from Minnesota.
There is no source for the claim being made.
Check the profile - this person doesn't live in Minneapolis or MN.
This person doesn't interact on here.

What do we make of Colin Kaepernick now? The Super Bowl is being played in his former home stadium, at a societal moment that echoes the issues he forced football fans to confront. So why is he out of mind?

"The NFL instructed the Green Bay Packers to hold a moment of silence for conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk."

"The NFL has released no statements about federal agents shooting + killing US citizens" in Minneapolis.

'The problems [Kaepernick] knelt against haven’t improved. They’ve metastasized.'

Spent the morning on modules 1 & 2 of @utaodruid.bsky.social latest course "Tarot for Spellcasting". I will say his and Jason Miller's classes are my favorite because they're grounded in magic & common sense. And neither one claims to know it all.

Put the Red Hat Back On Nothing in America is real until white people feel it — and that’s exactly the f*cking problem.

Nothing in America is “real” until white people feel it.

Not racism.
Not fascism.
Not cages.
Not blood.

Now MAGATs want to take the hat off and blend back in?

Nah. Put that red hat BACK on and stay the fuck over there.

Okay, tagging again to wake up the algorithm because I don't see my post in the feed.

Thank you for this. As a liminal person who has always felt like they were cosplaying in this world to fit in, I shall be using this in future self-care workings.

The Threshold Sigil 🌀

Created as a companion for those who walk through a world that was never built with them in mind. It carries the intention of restoring inner balance of holding the tension between adapting to external expectations and remaining rooted in one’s own truth.

OLYMPICS DAY

*I glance at our mgr who is also GenX*
Mgr: Yup it's true. Every 4 years.
Them: BUT HOW? The logistics..??
Me: Winter Olympics would be held in February & Summer around July. It would be a celebration for months. Which is why I miss the 4 yr gap b/c it felt more like a Major Event.
Them: Weird.

An actual convo I had with young coworkers in 2018.

Me: I miss when the Olympics were every 4 years.
Them: ???
Me: No, I'm serious. It would coincide with a new President.
Them: ...???!!!...
Me:
Them: Noooooo. The Olympics has always been every 2 years.
Me: Well, yeah, since YOU'VE been alive.

This whole thread is highly worth the read.

Kitschy fun! I met Jeffrey Vincent Parise at a SPN con years ago & he was so personable & a great storyteller.

#WitchSky Elder Futhark Rune newbie here and I need book recs. Currently have "Taking Up The Runes" by Diana Paxson.

Any other titles I should look into?

From Senator Chris McDaniel: “Lately, some folks have taken to calling ICE “the Gestapo.” It sounds fierce. It feels righteous. But it isn’t true, and it isn’t harmless. The Gestapo was a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything. The knock on the door was the sentence. ICE isn’t that. Not even close. ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials. Its agents file reports. They seek warrants. They lose cases. Judges stop them. Lawyers challenge them. Some detainees go home. That’s not tyranny. That’s bureaucracy, for better and worse. You can hate immigration policy. You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad. You can work to have the law changed if you wish. That’s a republic doing what it’s supposed to do. But when you call ordinary law enforcement “the Gestapo,” you cheapen real evil. You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor. And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize. In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight. This one hasn't yet. It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses. That difference matters. Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we won’t need to borrow names from history. We’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with. And we’ll wish we’d kept our words honest.”

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

Confirmed!! It's the real deal made by a human beeaaaan. A friend shared the TT of the artist and of them showing the progress.

After a couple days of False Spring Sunshine, rain is forecasted for the weekend.

Because of course it is. 😒

I stepped outside to soak up what I could & got to see a RT Hawk!

Allegedly not AI Slop, as they specify which ones are; however, there are no artist's credits. If I find out it is AI, I'll swap it out.

I picked the one I'm using for my pic because it's inclusive.
