Finished a gift for someone special. It's a garden apron made from old jeans and an old shirt. They aren't on BlueSky do hopefully they won't see it. #craftsky #upcycled

I'd do it if we all got universal health care.

Stole this from the Cedar Cultural Center’s page since they aren’t here. ♥️♥️♥️

I am sure that this will be great for the economy too!

Opinion | My Father Died of Hepatitis B Before the Vaccine. We Must Not Go Back.

"Recently, my mother asked me why a vaccine that can save families so much suffering would not be immediately offered to every child. I heard the urgency in her voice, but I could not come up with a good answer."

Michael Bohacek, a Republican state senator from Indiana who has a daughter with down syndrome, says he will vote against redistricting in Indiana after Trump used the word "retarded."

A post from the US Homeland Security, reading “This Thanksgiving, there is no room at the table for invaders.”

And still, there are those who say that Americans can’t do irony.

One of the great things about early Bsky is that we promoted the idea of engagement. That is, instead of follow for follow, we followed those who conversed with us. Engagement leads to connection. So please, let’s not lose that! Engage, not just like—that’s why I follow folks, myself!

i know this is a genuine problem but i really want to drop some off a rooftop to see if they bounce or splat or what

I don't have a theory as to why things happened as they did, but judging from the neighborhood FB page, SPPD might be underestimating how willing St. Paul residents are right now to pester them incessantly if this continues.

Shit St Paul ICE agent aims gun

I think some people are confusing "poverty line" with "at what level of wealth/income do you need to be at to not get totally screwed by a health event or a major accident?" and the answer in the US is "very, very high"

I was outside just a little bit ago in St. Paul a d the walking and driving aren't bad, but things will change...

NEW: Sean Duffy frequently calls safety his “top priority” as transportation secretary. But I spent months wading through regulatory notices and found something far different: that USDOT has been delaying, weakening and killing dozens of safety rules, many opposed by the transportation industry.🧵

I have eaten there once and we liked it.

Waymo: "Driverless cars?"

MN: "You're weak. Your bloodline is weak. You will not survive the winter."

So this is happening outside of the Heritage Foundation right now

"Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE! Fuck Project 2025! Fuck Alligator Alcatraz!"

You should always be jealous of St. Paul

Fire Breaks Out at COP30 Climate Talks in Brazil Delegates were evacuated from the conference venue, where thousands from nearly 200 countries had gathered.

Quite a metaphor. 👀

"The blaze [sent] panicked delegates racing to evacuate...rain from a torrential downpour leaked into the meeting spaces...There were complaints about food shortages, & the air-conditioning struggled to keep up with the high heat..."

What Tom Holland’s historic lip-sync showcase taught us about stormwater management Grab your umbrella and your tights.

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management.

remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi.

But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile.

Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open.

Cretin behavior.

There is so much nonsense (much of it with real consequences for people) going on domestically stateside that I missed those things.

Are we talking about a journalist being the next Arch Duke, Venezuela or something else?

Finally got around to framing this year's embroidery projects.

I learned from my grandma when I was a kid, then picked it up again last year after the election as an alternative to doomscrolling before bed.

I had completely forgotten about both these individuals and now I am going to inflict them on you.
