IT'S NOT TO LATE TO HELP MINNESOTA FAMILIES AND BE ENTERED IN A DRAWING FOR ONE OF ***FOUR*** BOOKS!

I probably should have said a time zone for "5 pm today" but obviously I mean Minnesota's

My Heart Bleeds Purple When your body is frail and can’t carry you further, remember: art is resistance, too.

Do what you can for Minneapolis. 💜

This will help my neighbors. Please support this. We need all the help we can get.

Email would be best: specficeditor @ g mail dot com.

Whatever your capacity, offer resistance. You don’t have to be out in the streets (and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise), but you can resist. Progressives cities need a lot of help right now — not just MN — and every bit helps.

Grazi!

Yup. I can offer some resources.

It’s been a long weird few months in the Twin Cities, so I’ve been quiet. I’m doing ok, staying safe, protecting my communities. Thanks for all the new follows.

"A Tale of Two Topas" may be one of the best-written episodes of a serial ever written. It's so good.

Dr. Seuss would be disgusted by the new Wal*Mart commercial. I hate capitalism.

Kickstarter United is on strike! We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform [see following posts for how to help]

Between Vincent & me, we've backed 429 projects on Kickstarter, & funded 18 projects of our own. www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum... will be our 19th.
This is the longest wait we've ever had for a greenlight.
Kickstarter United is now in the longest tech strike ever.
Solidarity Forever.

I propose November 1st as resurgence day. Halloween ends, and we all pick up the phones again. MasterCard and Visa, bare minimum, once per day. Every day. All of us. They are only hiring the usual number of holiday workers, this would frighten credit card companies. “It’s not going away”

Two nerd loves married this week: writing a vassalage contract for PCs in my “Dune” campaign. It is a very good contract.

Very sad news. I knew Rob back in my days in Milwaukee. Super nerd. Very kind guy.

Y'all want help fight fascists? Support public journalism (y'know, the kind the government keeps defunding).

a man with curly hair and glasses is making a funny face and saying huh . Alt: Steve Brule is making a funny face and looking at the camera and saying "huh?".

Centrists when they hear a Socialist advocating for a thing that does not directly benefit them but does materially benefit the majority of people:

In small town Wisconsin, we had a teacher who it was said (later proved in court) was being directly profiled and stalked by he police.

He was black (Tortugan) married to a white teacher. As high schoolers most thought it was “over-reacting.” He was a loud, mouthy leftist.

Medical advice is not “free speech” if it actively harms people.

Sometimes I listen to “In the Air Tonight” just to get to the drum transition.

Everything the mainstream media considers a "radical left-wing belief" is a compromise position. The actual radical beliefs are things we can't discuss because they're too far outside the Overton Window for most people to understand.

"Among those arrested was David, a 31-year-old healthcare worker...David, who is gay, was wearing a rainbow Pride wristband as he says he was simply trying to pee when he was arrested."

There's a difference between isolationism and simply saying that we need more competent leaders to run things while we sit back and participate in the global conversation.

You’re gonna need a bigger bed.

Hehe. Oh boy.

I've come up with a new online insult, and I'm waiting for the day someone figures out how devastating it is.

Just respond to someone who's being obtuse or intentionally obstinate with "Ok, Fitzgerald."

Alternativeky, if there is a hilarious editor out there who loves what we do and thinks we’re worth championing, even in this anti-autism world, get in touch!

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.

I'm talking about something very different.

Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.

Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to.

But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Who here is still chilling here on planet Earth watching the Rapture happen? Y'all sending up your friends with fun gifts?
