I repost this image a lot and I feel it must be reposted a lot #neverforget

Housemate on her way home after being punched in the face at work by a patient at the hospital. Folks in the medical community need more protection.

Banda has been traded to the Twins and will be less than a mile from my house most of this year. My heart can’t handle it!

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

pure elite capture - the uk just folded to a hardline anti-trans campaign pushed by a tiny number of people www.thepinknews.com/2026/02/11/n...

They pocketed and sold what they could get their hands on. minnesotareformer.com/2026/02/12/w...

I think a helpful thing about this is that it demonstrates how clearly, confidently, and gracefully cops lie

People selling homemade Minnesota stuff right now don’t really say it outright, but you can tell they mean, ‘I don’t have money but I have beads/yarn/3dprinter/etc. to make stuff and send the proceeds to folks who are helping.’ Look for this stuff, buy if you like, but don’t bag on them, please.

#NewIllustrationOfTheDay by Seng Soun Ratanavanh from The Paper Bridge, one of 19 books longlisted for the Carnegie Medal for Illustration; 11 had featured in my daily posts, plus the illustrators of 2 more. This, photographing paper sculpture, would’ve done if I’d seen it. @florisbooks.bsky.social

Look out for the Spring Poems on the Underground on London Underground and Overground trains for 4 weeks from 9th February The snow is melting by Kobayashi Issa tr. by Robert Hass Calligraphy by Yukki Yaura poemsontheunderground.org/the-snow-is-...

Please read.

Nothing like being in a meeting but also reporting ice in the neighborhood on the text trees...

Gotta start a band now with this name|

The cops are not our allies. Police forces have been infiltrated by far-right goons for decades. They *are* ICE. They're the same dudes.

Pleased with myself for telling local fans of the new GOT show (and needing more of it) that there is a comic book series and it's available through our library system.

People on Reddit are getting Amazon to refund their Ring products because of their partnership with Flock and that creepy Super Bowl ad www.reddit.com/r/FlockSurve...

One of these charities is in my office building: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

The company emailed a 'We want to hear from you' message from HR so I reported it as phishing. And I was right.

Today’s schedule is coughing, sneezing, farting, wheezing, so no real change since Wednesday. Carry on.

Ricky Martin grew into his face and we are all graced with it. 😻

We needed that, Benito. Gracias.

you wouldn’t need to put on such a spectacular half time show if the sport wasn’t shit

Can confirm the dangerous drive.

My housemate is in her room dying over the dildo footage I sent her. I’m stuck at home with RSV but I can share the joy!

Minnesota has us change our license plates every seven years and I remember thinking that criminals must love that. Not surprised if local ICE agents are pulling old ones out of the basements for their buddies.

There's exactly one normal man left on planet Earth.

Plot twist: it wasn’t a notebook but a history textbook!

In the entryway of a cramped two-bedroom house in Shakopee, a pair of pink backpacks idle on coat hooks. The two girls haven’t been to school in weeks.

BBC Radio Four is airing 'Gone With the Wind' starting this weekend. I sent a message to them to reconsider.

The US team behind 'Ghosts' very, very, wisely rewrote the pants-less ghost, given this week's UK news.

Are we putting pamphlets in hotel/motels for ICE to call if they want out? I'm thinking Gideon Bible level distribution.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

lol

Any follow-up on the pawn shops buying stolen stuff from ICE? The kid working at Target was able to get his phone back because of tracking, but I'm curious about other things.

Unfinished. #LiamRamos

Nonviolent protest also requires discipline and self-control. It’s HARD. Your instinct as a person is to escalate or even fight. Part of why everyday Minnesotans are winning is that it’s very obvious that the side without any discipline, the side escalating to violence on a whim, is ICE.
