Any Clarice Lispector fans out there? Her books are so wild, and the writing is so beautiful and uniquely weird. I don't always know what I just read, but I know I loved it when I finish.
Is there an author who appears both on your top 10 and bottom 10? For example, Dostoevsky: for me, The Brothers Karamazov is a work of pure genius, and I can't believe the same guy wrote the dross that is Crime & Punishment, which isn't even an effective door-jam 😂
This is phenomenal. A.I. 'art' is slop, anti-creative, and deserves no copyright protection. None of it. If you use A.I. in the creative space, you are not a creative, and you don't deserve protection for what you had a machine spit out. A very rare SCOTUS win.
I would say probably the 23% would be democrats and nearly 0% gop
Let’s fuckin goooooo. 23% of republicans never thought I’d see the day.
Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry is a masterpiece. I haven’t been this book hungover in probably years. I can’t stress enough how good it is. Even if westerns aren’t your genre (same tbh) give it a whirl.
This is why we don't give up fighting. Every win chips away at the administration's efforts and builds on previous wins. Even if we have work to do to rebuild these programs nationwide, this is the right start.
As skeptical as we are that they’re actually leaving (I’ll believe it when I see it) hell yeah, every city has the game plan now. They will not win. Ever.
This does NOT mean ICE is gone, nor does it mean we stop fighting. Do NOT forget this come midterms, people. Whatever city they target next, just know that Minnesota is with you. We got your back.
Operation Gestapo Occupation (i.e. Operation Metro Surge) is ENDING in Minnesota per the head Gestapo Homan. God we may actually be able to breathe and start recovering from the horrific abuses this administration has inflicted on our state. (1/2)
Hell yeah I’d try that!
SORRY I HAD TO ASK 😭😭😭
As a mushroom lover, I have to ask: would the zombies from The Last of Us taste better fried, stuffed, or sauted? How about on a pizza or in a creamy pasta dish?
These are the questions we should be asking.
Hey there, it's me! Living in Minneapolis, I've been uh, quite busy with things. But my novella, 'In the Wildflowers, Among the Fairies," is being published in this year's JordanCon Anthology and I cannot wait to see it come to life!
And congrats to Sara Felix for a stunning cover!
Also, @seanhollister.bsky.social has been hanging out with the Whistle Coven, and wrote a piece about it! The opening line is "Kit Rocha and Courtney Milan have a knack for drawing attention to a cause."
Our chaos field has been immortalized.
(This should be a gift link!!!)
Bad Bunny more like Amazing Bunny. Top Notch Performance Bunny? Or maybe Making Fascists Cry Bunny.
Those saying 'it doesn't matter, they'll ignore the order' are playing into the fascist playbook--extinguish all hope, permit no joy, celebrate no wins.
Having court orders on our side is *crucial* for many reasons, both legal and cultural.
Fear is valid. Trying to infect others with it is NOT.
Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event
Ooof yeah. Mostly I’m looking for ways to enjoy evenings during the Minneapolis of it all 😅 especially on days when I do redacted activist things. And KH is like my comfort food of gaming
may f around and start a new save of Kingdom Hearts on proud mode.
It's been a year. I deserve it 😭
Be sure to grab a copy of this excellent anti-fascist collection! A lot of rage, a lot of catharsis in this book.
get yourself a copy!!! It's good readin'!

Today’s the first day I’ve woken up without intense fear and my heart pounding so…progress?
Still need ice to get the fuck out my city tho
I've already cried once today but seeing Bruce Springsteen releasing a song for Minneapolis just brought the tears again.
1) this is hilarious dude really is a first town boss villain and now his career is over.
2) If you refuse to let we the people celebrate small wins you are no better than the oppressors 😘
Small wins begin to accumulate until they are no longer small. Remember that.
