Hey American South, friendly reminder that we’re in the “melt” phase of “melt and refreeze” so if you absolutely have to go out and do an errand today, take a long lunch break and do it now instead of waiting for after work because “the roads are clear now.”

Look you can make the case that people didn’t know they were voting for this but that means half the population is so monumentally stupid that they thought “mass deportations” could be carried out without violence. I think that might be worse.

we missed all the snow but luckily it rained like 4 inches today and it won’t get above 32 until tuesday afternoon so if i attempt the front steps i’m going down shrieking on my ass

Minnesota folks, if you can spend some time I suggest reading some of these entries. ICE wants us to be afraid, to feel overwhelmed, to feel isolated.

We are not alone. We have each other, and the whole rest of the world. There are SO MANY PEOPLE everywhere who see us, who know, who care.

no matter what else is happening, if feasible, please share photos of your dogs playing in the snow tomorrow

I found this book through @hollyanderson.bsky.social and @edsbs.bsky.social and while it’s not the easiest read, some of you are about to have some time on your hands. The times we live in are not exactly unprecedented, and the example of those who came before will be crucial in the days ahead.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but do NOT plug space heaters into extension cords or power strips. You can and will cause a fire risk.

Space heaters are made to plug directly into wall outlets.

Don’t burn down your home during this winter snap

I wonder if I’ll ever stop being angry all of the time.

Things I learned in the '21 TX freeze:

- looser clothing keeps you warmer (sweatpants > yoga pants)
- put a sheet OVER your comforter on your bed
- drape a sheet around drafty doors, roll a towel on thresholds
- keep curtains and blinds closed
- use one or two rooms, close up rest of your home
