Cackled the whole time I was making this button It was a very much needed morale boost

We're about to go live with the ICE Out Charity Stream from the MinnMax Studio! We have @grubb.wtf and @danryckert.com and @jacobgeller.com in Minneapolis to help protect our neighbors! www.twitch.tv/minnmaxshow Donate here - bit.ly/iceoutminnea...

Finally some good news

Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

We’re hosting a special Charity karaoke tonight for Youthprise & their immediate work with young people targeted by ICE.

NO GODS NO MASTERS NO PAYWALL LET'S GET THIS STRIKE GOING

Might do an entire series of Nazi photos side-by-side with contemporary ICE and CBP arrests

I'm taking this as a sign to deactivate the accent dampener setting in my brain, at least for a while Unrestrain those Minnesota Os and ayyyys and yahs

Racket wants to hear from you, Minnesota. We want to hear how the ICE occupation has changed your life, and we want the world outside of Minnesota to know as well.

If you are looking for ways to help those who are scared or have been impacted, we will be a donation drop off for Neighborhood House. See the graphic on what their wants are. We have a table in the taproom that has resources, whistles and guides that you may find useful.

Today: Let my corner store know that the president posted their storefront pic (along with others) with fraud accusations so they could prepare for the fallout Yesterday: Spent my break watching the firetrucks blocking my street in case the rumors of masked agents pulling alarms was accurate

I was wondering why my hands felt colder than usual while working today Turns out the thermostat battery died so the heat hadn't kicked on all day 🙃

Thanks to some incredible Twin Cities and Chicago folks, we have a whistle party on Saturday! Come out if you live in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. We’ll be folding zines and putting them together with whistles that have been donated for free speech and community safety. Take some to distribute!

There's a book I read years ago called Milk, Sulphate, and Alby Starvation. In it, Big Milk would go after folks knocking milk products, including for lactose intolerance reasons. Up to assassins. Anyway, there have been too many news stories in recent years that have made me think about this book

Hey everyone, We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history. Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

During difficult times it's important to take a break & recharge your batteries If that looks like dancing, enjoying art, or learning something new in good company, I rounded up some events at TCG that might fit the bill And if you're staying home for safety, plenty of them are virtual too

Oh man, I just realized the seed art at the State Fair this year is going to be *something*.

We've got whistles (and ear plugs) for you and all your friends! We've got bathrooms if you're out observing and need a public restroom! We've got free posters and dirty bumper stickers for free if you want to make sure your minivan doesn't get confused with ICE! Here until 5pm!

The Loft Literary Center is hosting a free Zoom webinar for artists for how to meaningfully support movement work in this historical moment. Register here: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Same menace mode day of previous post - this was his expression in the background of a different photo that I didnt notice until this past week The teefs 💀

This week, celebrate the New Year #Minnesota-style with a plethora of events, including Vilification Tennis, live music performances, bed time-friendly countdowns, a game-a-thon, Shrek- and Twin Peaks-themed parties, and more! #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2025/12/this...

Merry (almost over) Christmas everyone! And an extra merry Xmas to me, because after 5ish years, I finally used up a roll of wrapping paper and get a magical cardboard sword 😂

I thought I'd have a chill pto day of reading while the fam worked on my car Little did I know, my parents' dogs were gonna activate full menace mode These are the eyes of stubborn chaos

Everytime I see one of those videos that's like "music taste is so important, just imagine [friend/partner/etc] not knowing...." I just want to shake them and say imagine getting to introduce someone to it, sharing your joy, & being the catalyst that creates a new fan, ya ding dong

It is a /wild/ experience watching Contagion post 2020

Booooooooooooo But at least certain visitors to the city are also not having a good weather time

Me, to the suspicious food in the fridge ~95% of the time, including now: ehhhhh, it's probably fine If I die of a bad food disease, I will simultaneously not and be fully surprised, because this has been going on literally my whole life Also, if I say dont eat it, /really/ dont eat it

Iron Mike speaketh

Me, having a couple ciders while I work on stuff Opening can #2, it violently erupts Cider everywhere, in eyes, on clothes, on monitor/keyboard, all over floor Deals with mess, goes back to can... HALf OF IT DID THAT I took both cans out of a unopened box and #1 was fine, just wtf

Me & sleep have never really been friends But I can usually count on hitting a cement wall of sleepiness around the 4/430am mark, to at least get a couple hours in Last night, brain did opposite I am running on 0 hours sleep & am now very happy I did all my house leaving errands yesterday

That time of year again! Mostly just a recap of the music that powered me through an abundance of overtime this year lol

Whenever danger toys came up in conversation, I'd mention this ball with a ring around it that you'd stand on & jump around No one ever knew what I was talking about, so I thought it was a fever dream or diy redneck contraption Turns out it's real, called a Pogo Bal & this is the exact one we had

One nice thing about having a brain that's almost always playing music, is that sometimes the brain radio knows exactly what album to pull out from the deep childhood archives to help counteract a terribly grumpy day

It's time for the annual-ish fight against the urge to start a new Skyrim game & dissociate for several months Happens every time too many grumpy-making sitches collide with too much overtime Last time I lost this fight, I got the game banned at my grandparents' house lol

Possibly my most millenial take, but "lost the game" should be banned from song lyrics I rarely use the "radio" function on streaming platforms, and the first time I do in like 3 years, they do me dirty like this?

I'm pretty good at being chill about whatever bs the day has in store, BUT... Nothing gets me to knock out a physical to do task that I've been procrastinating on quite like whatever random bs situation inexplicably crosses the undefinable threshold to viscerally enraged

I'm not saying the snowflakes are my fault, but I did finally decide to clean + put away my AC units* today & I saw the first flakes as I was washing the filters this AM *they're floor units that weren't in the windows, just taking up room space & mocking me more the further we got from warm temps

Flashback to high school shenanigans At the mall we would sometimes play "get in the gap" where you had to enter the gap store, casually touch the back wall, & get back out without being greeted by an employee It had a low success rate We do not need to go back to that level of interaction

What's it called when the more you're told to do something the more your entire being is like, eff you no? This mpls election cycle is really testing my abilities to curb that I'm still gonna vote, but the sheer # of door knockers & texts this yr is an emotional regulation test straight from hell
