Fart joke in kids movie: trite. predictable. juvenile. passe. vulgar.

Fart joke in adult cinema: Vibrant. Jovial. Inspired. boundary-pushing, yet timeless.

just so wonderful

yes yes yes... VENUS IN CAPRICORN brings you into and shows you what it's like trying to breathe in a little world deprived of oxygen and relief. deeply felt and gorgeously made

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

ok i kind of want to see killer whale

"That Box We Sit On"

A metal box sits embedded in a field. It’s the everyday hangout spot for two kids after school, but why? One of them lets his imagination run. The other mostly jokes about it.

i’m practicing optimism

one of the nice things about my husband losing his job is that i can appreciate the snow without the creeping dread of knowing i have to drive in it

Elias van den Broeck tries some fruit & oysters along with the flowers. Looks good! Lemon peel curled around the wine glass is also a nice touch. Today is his day.

Like hard to sell yourself as the better alternative while you’ve spent 2 years banning genocide victims

Bluesky is getting absolutely roasted on Twitter for their treatment of Palestinians which is really ruining their snarky meme campaign to get people over here and couldn’t happen to a worse company

this looks so wretched on mobile but i’m kind of obsessed?

Bumping!
