Texas Chili Queens combine chili, culture Drag culture and Texas chili culture cross paths at Texas Chili Queens in Austin. Popping up in different Austin spots regularly, the food truck is basically RuPaul meets the Terlingua Chili Cookoff. ...

Before covid, there was a food truck in Austin called that, run by drag queens:

A drawing of a "chile queen" from an 1894 newspaper, she's smoking a cigarette and glancing slyly towards the viewer.

SRSLY look at this 1894 badass, who obviously makes a killer pot of chili and also gives zero fucks

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Yeah - I don't mind a date change, but this has some weird shades of Inktober to me. HCD is a fun, free thing that the community does that anyone can join in, and then someone grabs the domain and starts changing and imposing rules. And the diminishing of Simone's role in all of it is heartbreaking.

Trump-administration officials and MAGA influencers have repeatedly called these activists “violent” and said they are involved in “riots.” But the resistance in Minnesota is largely characterized by a conscious, strategic absence of physical confrontation. Activists have made the decision to emphasize protection, aid, and observation. When matters escalate, it is usually the choice of the federal agents. Of the three homicides in Minneapolis this year, two were committed by federal agents. “There’s been an incredible, incredible response from the community. I’ve seen our neighbors go straight from allies to family—more than family—checking in on each other, offering food and rides for kids and all kinds of support, alerting each other if there’s ICE or any kind of danger,” Malika Dahir, a local activist of Somali descent, told me. If the Minnesota resistance has an overarching ideology, you could call it “neighborism”—a commitment to protecting the people around you, no matter who they are or where they came from. The contrast with the philosophy guiding the Trump administration couldn’t be more extreme. Vice President Vance has said that “it is totally reasonable and acceptable for American citizens to look at their next-door neighbors and say, ‘I want to live next to people who I have something in common with. I don’t want to live next to four families of strangers.’” Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Minneapolis or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America.

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

I'm very sorry you can't eat beans, but I *love* sweet potato in chili! It's a thoroughly underrated addition. 💖

SHOOT. Yes, that's a great catch, they should be added with the spices. I should have been more precise!! I might go edit that page later. :)

That is really beautiful! 🍓

I know art and joy and creativity are important in times like these because it's what I turn to myself when I feel all twisted up. It's good to be reminded of that. 💖

I just… I feel like I should be making comics about what’s happening, this moment, but every time I sit down to try I’m at such a loss. My heart keeps breaking but i don’t feel equipped to write about it somehow??
