Katie (chaos type)

I don’t care what most authority figures think of me, but I do want librarians to like me.

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

I STILL WANNA MARRY THE WIZARD

I’m starting to take winter personally.

Yeah, that’s a real danger.

Have you tried lying on the floor and screaming?

Necrowmancer.

Leonardo, Donatello, Michaelangelo, Raphael.

This is a very very very obvious point to make but shops and movie rental places and record stores are all more fun than buying things online

I’m starting The Thing in the Snow by Sean Adams. Thematically appropriate!

“Bold words from a man eating sausage.”

Between that and the US women winning hockey gold, it’s a good day for the ice.

Watching Alyssa Liu skate was an absolute joy.

Hobbits are tricksy
Gandalf is grey
This rhyme’s a little late
For Valentine’s Day

BREAKING: 4 students at the University of Minnesota are currently chained to Morrill Hall, demanding that their school end all cooperations with ICE and establish itself as a sanctuary campus.

If you told me that Jason Mantzoukas was actually a Muppet all along, I would not be surprised.

I think anyone who would be good on Taskmaster would also be good for the Muppets.

Whatever the hell else is going on with me, I have manners.

Chotiner: Tell me what you found interesting about these vampires.

Documentarian: Well, it's just -- the group dynamics, I guess.

Chotiner: I can see that. I can see finding Nandor, Laszlo and Nadia entertaining.

Documentarian: Exactly.

Chotiner: So. How many people did you watch them murder?

✊🏽 Prince's protest songs

Hey, The Current has a whole playlist of Angry Political Prince.

Good job, listener-supported radio.

1. I don’t think a leaf blower is an effective tool for clearing one’s driveway of snow.
2. Even if it was, 10:30p is not the time to be doing that!

IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST WINTER STORM, REMEMBER FOUR TIPS: 1. FILL UP YOUR TUB AND/OR POTS WITH WATER FOR YOUR TOILET. 2. DO NOT USE PROPANE HEATERS INDOORS. THE FUMES KILL. 3. EVERYONE STAYING IN ONE ROOM CONSOLIDATES WARMTH. 4. THE NORWEGIAN CAMP DIDN'T DESTROY ITSELF. ONE OF YOU IS THE THING.

Some safety tips for the big storm! Be safe, everybody.

List of Minnesota businesses closing for Jan. 23 anti-ICE strike First announced by faith leaders and unions on Jan. 13, Minnesota businesses have begun announcing plans to join the action.

Here's a list of MN businesses closed on Friday. It's long and keeps growing.

I resolved to read more mindfully this year instead of eating books like comfort food. Having just finished my sixth book of the year, it’s pretty safe to say I’ve failed spectacularly.

Also: The Minnesota Historical Society has this flag but *doesn’t keep it on display,* because it’s, you know, a confederate flag and that’s gross.

So deeply Minnesotan. “We humiliated our opponent but the real prize is that we refuse to display the trophy. They know we have it.”

And Putin has a Super Bowl ring.

Most of my favorite songs are angry. The rest are sad. And then there’s Walk Like an Egyptian.

Jason Mantzoukas would be amazing in a Muppet movie.

Oh cool, thanks!
