Me, hopeful: taking on two very different languages (Standard dialect Gaeilge and Latin American Spanish) to try keeping my brain fresh. Me, working on it: why did I pick two very different languages? Oh right, because they both use accents over vowels. At least in both, I will have tú.

Hope that seat downstairs is all set up. Also, morning smoke and dishes thoughts: Mitch McConnell's lack of death announcement is a practice run for when Trump goes. They will pull out all the stops to prevent the big beautiful block party.

Remember: in some cases, speaking ill of the dead is in fact the right thing to do, morally speaking

Raspberry Arizona hits SO good after putting my apartment back together post-con. Hits even better when one of those cans was extra-frosty (unsure how) and now I have a Raspberry Arizona slushie!

...they're right behind me, aren't they? #watchoutforsnakes #cvg2026

My hands hurt, but sew it is sewn.

Wouldn't it be perfect con-crunch to get your awaited costume pieces 2.5 days before the convention? Time to sew!

I wish i could forget about all of socials as much as I forget about this one lmao. But gonna try (but will likely snooze on the couch) to do art instead, mostly because I'm tired of moving around my larger canvases while cleaning.

When I hear the comparison of our reality to the movie Idiocracy, I can't help but think "at least Idiocracy was funny."

Seems reasonable to accuse the pope of being soft on crime until you learn that he prowls Vatican at night as… BatPope!

Excuse me nature, it's PI-Day, not Blizzard day. I don't even know where my nearest DQ is, or if they're open for the season yet.

I wish this quote wasn’t still so relevant

Bringing this one back now that SG-1 is back on Netflix.

Hello it is March 5th, 2026 and I am still correcting myself on the current year in work emails 🙃

I guess all yarncraft roads lead to making a b&w blanket or cardigan, huh?

Piping hot take (I swear this convo has happened already): "clanker" and related is just an excuse for people to say slurs. I think I've made myself clear on being anti-AI, but when an online comedian repurposed an existing racial slur to make it an anti-robo one, I was so done hearing that shit.

Day off means much needed deep-cleaning now that the shanty run is over. BKF forever for getting my green dye stains out last weekend 🥲 (and I needed more coffee.

Good morning. 740am may be too early to have Thong Song stuck in my head.

I think it's an indicator of an excellent night out when you wake up the next morning feeling like you're hungover, despite the fact you've been sober for 2+ years.

How it started vs how its going. Two skeins in and i have a snug-fit first side. I underestimated how fast this builds.

Oh no wonder I feel like shit, I broke 150k+ accumulated steps every weekend for the last month at Art Shanties (averaging 20k each day). Where are my glistening calves???

Two things: 1. It's the final weekend of Art Shanties, come down while you can. 2. My hair is now dark green, my bathroom lighting is unable to catch it. It looks lovely in the light, even on the darker ends. Ignore the dye stains.

Once in a while, even a blind squirrel finds a passageway to an underworld dimension.

Not a judgment and IDK how you overcome it but...it's striking that every time a fresh national news story drops about ICE in the Twin Cities (ProPublica today), a lot of people respond with "Wow, I didn't realize it was that bad" and everyone in MN goes "Yes and it's a hundred times worse"

I don't know who needs to hear this, but don't let your hypervigilance make you look like a shitass, especially when someone is asking for help after a traumatic event. Even if you don't have the means to help, you can still point in the direction of legal aid and crisis care.

Photos from first Art Shanty weekend at Club Med! Mostly oontzing to keep circulation going while on the ice, but we did manage to play for a whole 10 minutes while there were bike races! I'm glad I still have masks, because the lake-wind is no joke. This weekend is also looking to be bitter 🥶🥶🥶

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

'Mat thoughts, because I'm slacking in the sillygoose department lately: 🎶I'm a cheeto girl, in a cheeto world. It ain't easay, BEING CHEESAY🎶 there's your bardic/sillygoose inspiration for the day.

Join postal workers and community supporters on Sunday, January 18 at 11am at the Lake Street Post Office to demand ICE OUT OF MN! We Demand: - ICE OUT OF MN! - Convict killer ICE agent Jonathan Ross! - ICE Off Postal Property!

Why I'm having quite the mental time around official statements (and also recognizing the abuse pattern from my parents, particularly my dad. Who I once fought and won).

"If you behave yourself, daddy won't have to hit you," she says, pouring him another double bourbon.

Not that it may be important, but why are out-staters referring to Southside MPLS as "suburbs/suburban"???? What???????

All of this because of a white man's bruised ego. Doesn't really matter which white guy.

My algos are funny sometimes.

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

Echoing a friend's sentiment, but the out-of-town big leftist creators really don't need to be peacocking on the front lines if they're here to visit and support in MN. Leave the fucking content-creator ego at home!

For lawyers in Minnesota who want to resist the ICE occupation: forms.gle/YK9mVYTft1Lt... So many folks in our legal community are ready and eager to get involved. But right now, a lot of work is being done in a decentralized way, by groups without bandwidth to organize. Let's coordinate efforts.

While I can't fully articulate why, and I know people mean well (and materials have their costs), but it gives me a weird feeling when people make merch to sell about situations like the one MN is in right now.

god i fucking love soup

Remember that time he grew a mustache and the city dunked on him for it? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

If you are able, this is happening today. Probably one of many things occuring.

Both have been released:

Fuck me running, today's been bonkers. Here's another local (and vetted) GFM to support for two more local beloveds 🖤🦇 gofund.me/719b6f121 @gothessmpls.bsky.social for tagging and wider reach.

Reposting to keep pinned.

The politicians are learning fuck-words 🙄 I really need some patient full-thread readers for this one. Sorry for length, but there's some concerning things I'm seeing go around related to yesterday. 🧵

This is the video.

Dozens of feds, large MPD response, an observer saying he's a physician and had a gun pointed at him for checking the victim's pulse

Because why would there be completely nice things? apnews.com/article/ice-...

I should start a meme collection involving people and/or animals with phones called "your call is important to us", just to help get through the beginning of the new insurance year at work 🙃

How'd you get this picture of me? But I do not care if my disdain makes me sound obnoxious. I think it's more obnoxious to deny its harms or deny that people are losing jobs (that shit makes me scream).
