This is MY Shape of Water

yet another data point for "the standard case for pragmatic electoral moderation would be more compelling if people stopped insisting that transgender issues are an electoral problem for Democrats"

Nothing new to share of my own, but I wrote these mini-reviews of all the trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming-authored books I read last year! If you take a look, you might find a cool new author to check out! beforewegoblog.com/a-year-of-re... #SFFChat

ICE are running around in the streets using facial recognition on random people and telling anyone filming them they're a domestic terrorist and Democrats solution is to equip every ICE agent with their very own body-worn surveillance camera

Ah yes, 'agitators.' The definition of which is... *checks notes* ... holding federally-sponsored criminals accountable by recording video evidence and supporting your neighbors when they are beaten, dragged, and released into sub-zero temps without clothes.

"how do you create and come up with your characters?" I world-build, chasing a plot vibe, until my characters step out of their circumstances to introduce themselves. Being surprised by the actions of my characters is one of my favorite things about writing.

Friday, nationwide: no work, no shopping, no school! Take a sick day of you have to. This is the start of something big!

If this is the way the US federal government is going to treat us, a state with strong communal and neighborly values, then Minnesota is Canada.

I direct my own moral outrage into one character, then decide she needs an irreverent girlfriend and a bardic big brother to temper her shenanigans. Every character is a piece of myself that I want to express.

Same.

Yes, Google. In sub-zero weather, that's what we do with our laundry.

One more ICYMI. I've been receiving some very heartwarming feedback about this essay. 💜 I want you to know that however you're taking action against federal fascism — observing, organizing, protesting, writing — you are doing your best. The human body is not built for ceaseless fight or flight.

There, see? A loon!

me, emotionally writing an essay on the use of force by federal agents: ok but what if i packaged this in the most insane way possible www.theverge.com/policy/86857...

No plot survives contact with the page...

Yuri is mutual aid.

Ahem. @clericofthevoid.bsky.social

Incredible. Incredible. "The most important thing we have right now is a national sense of immediacy and urgency, and the thing we need to do with it is piss it away."

“Minnesota man” is the woke version of “Florida man”

Minnesota really coming out the gate as the protagonist of 2026

This is ALREADY ILLEGAL. The way for Congress to deal with the executive branch ignoring the law is by defunding the agency - using the power of the purse. Not passing another law that's more strongly-worded. No caves like this! Insist on defunding ICE.

MN trying to break out a rogue supersoldier to help with our battle

This reminds me of learning that, during Jim Crow, white people used to walk into black people's homes and steal from us.

There’s so much need in Minnesota right now. Businesses are closing and rent is due soon. If you want to help people here, there are links to rent relief & other vetted mutual aid funds on standwithminnesota.com. Please boost and donate what you can. Thank you 🫶🏻

New poll — Abolishing ICE continues its historic surge of support. 46% support 43% oppose 80% of Democrats and 15% of Trump voters support abolishing ICE. Independents are +8 on the question.

And furthermore, Minnesota is Canada.

Smith @smith.senate.gov is a good senator, but she's hedging her words for the super-centrist disaster that is the New York Times. Abolish ICE, abolish DHS. Revert to the INS. There is no equivocation on our civil liberties.

I’m honestly done asking politely. We need an eviction moratorium and rent support @governorwalz.mn.gov and we need it Now.

I can think of no better metaphor for what's happening in Minnesota right now than a loon stabbing a bald eagle through with their beak because the bald eagle tried to eat the loons' chicks for lunch.

Animation is very frustrating, but once we can pick up some steam with our storytelling and nail down some bespoke assets, I'd really love to return to it in some way.

Reminder that the new MN flag is gay as hell.

If Vladimir Putin controlled the United States government and wanted to destroy the USA and NATO, but couldn't declare war on it, how would he do it? You'll find every permutation possible in current affairs.

White guys, this is your time to shine. Because they don't listen to anyone else.

Fun fact, this is also how loons fight other birds (including bald eagles) in the wild.

We all know the reason for this lol

American state controlled media bad. Did we do this right? We can only juggle so many of these. :3 Sublight Games is @sublightgames on UpScrolled.

Ok, I did the thing, since TikTok is so clearly compromised. Fair warning, I hate having my picture taken, so you'll want to follow the company account @sublightgames instead.

These are a few of my favorite things...! 🎶

No Love 1/2 is out now! A cocktail mix of yuri with neo-noir and girls with guns. Check the link in my bio for the full animation!!

Wrong. Extrajudicial killings, mass surveillance, kidnapping of citizens, and parading detained protesters as (failed) propaganda. We live in a police state. As Falkner's Law of Headlines states, "Any headline that ends in a question mark in the Trump era can be answered by the word yes."

The regime is going to try to rig the election. They're going to flood the zone with misinformation and suppress the truth on X and TikTok.

hello I am launching my very own podcast with @jordanjamboree.pittbert.gay where we (mostly casually!) chat about car culture in the decline of the American empire, auto racing, and industry news interspersed with tales of our former auto journo careers. we call it TRAN GIRLISMO

From @mprnews.org. How incredibly fucking rich. Furthermore, Minnesota is Canada.

Masked government agents are roaming my hometown of Minneapolis, MN, kidnapping children off the streets, assaulting us randomly, and in two cases murdering peaceful Good Samaritans. But sure, give these same creeps the right to inspect anyone's junk too. Nothing matters anymore. We live in hell.

Yet more loons! Let’s raise some money for Minnesota! twitch.tv/bbwolfe

Folks, please don’t tell artists they shouldn’t be making or selling their art right now. For many, it’s how they pay the bills. Art is vital during times like this. ALL ART. Whether it’s a protest sign or a book cover or just a beautiful drawing. It’s part of the heart of humanity.

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.
