A deeply moving, tender, beautiful journey in search of identity, healing and hope. Ben and Alexei's adventures on the Pacific Crest Trail are a vibrant, emotional tale of self-acceptance, new beginnings and the right to happiness πŸ₯° a real treat❣️

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

Spice scenes should be CHARACTER SPECIFICβ€”either what they get up to or what they reveal should tie into the characters/storyβ€”not just pausing the book and pressing play on the same basic scene over and over where they all have the same light kinks for no reason

Alysa Liu Is Skating Again, Her Way This Time

Her father fled China because he organized student protests during Tiananmen. He was a political refugee. The story of this family, and Alysa Liu, would have played out very differently today. This is what we're losing. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/w...

The Jonathan Groff episode of Good Hang was the most joyful thing I’ve experienced in months and months. Every time they laughed togetherβ€”what do the kids say, it cleared my skin? Whatever it made me smile so big

Imagine having the means to dramatically improve the lives of millions upon millions of people while still living like a King and you just… don’t.

The current structures of the internet give the most toxic elements of any broad community (fandoms/politics/hobbies etc) the ability to control the public experience of it.

It takes work to carve out non toxic spaces. It all seems not great to me!

Purposely tried to make my WIP more sexy than normal because I personally felt the last few things I’d written (for adults) weren’t AS sexy (also fine, every book follows its own narrative etc etc, but still, it was time)

Have spent the last 24 hours working on a read through and gotta say

Incredibly powerful opinion chronicling the awfulness in Whipple and the ways it interfered with the right to counsel.

One key part of the ruling (that ICE will likely appeal ASAP); Judge Brasel bars ICE from transferring anyone out of Minnesota within 72 hours of arrest.

N.J. bans ICE from state property, unveils site to upload videos of agents Gov. Sherrill's executive order requires warrants for ICE access to non-public state areas and allows residents to upload videos documenting federal immigration enforcement.

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill on Wednesday unveiled a statewide portal for residents to upload photos and videos of federal immigration activity, as her administration moves to more aggressively scrutinize the work of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.
