I used to live in a bad neighborhood next to a city park. The local narcotics division couldn’t stop drug dealing in the park, because the dealers used whistling to call each other. Not phones. Not email. If you need to communicate something important, keep it off electronics. #Minnesota

We still have power. That’s good because it’s about to be 18F in Austin.

Not so gentle reminder: if you support Donald Trump and his goons, you don’t want to follow this account. No corgi love for you!

For anyone who needs it

Svensk solidaritet med Minnesota är kanske viktigare än vi tror. En fascist försöker göra ett exempel av en plats där folk valt progressiva politiker och med en relativt stor muslimsk och somalisk befolkning som högern vill sparka ner på.

That protestor is a hero When this is all behind us, we need statues of this man, Renee Good, and all the other patriots who lost their lives

Good thing Hilton is letting these people rent hotel rooms...

Watch it to the end. Listen to what the guy says during the credits.

If you are in the path of this weekend's winter storm, & you are predicted to face power outages, turn your heat up in advance. All of the surfaces of your interior will absorb that energy. When the power fails, that energy will radiate back into the room buying you as much as 8 extra hours of warm.

HEB has bananas, again.

Why are we about to attack Iran? Is this a billionaire thing, or is eichenfuhrer getting vapors?

For Trump’s second term, Vought’s Center for Renewing America created plans that included invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy troops to U.S. cities to put down protestors and freezing billions in federal funds without congressional approval. (Published Oct. 2025 with @newyorker.com)

Looks like HEB is out of bananas.

"My husband complains about the cold," the man said. "Can you teach me a spell to keep him warm?" "I can teach you to bind hair into a net to catch heat," the wizard said, "using arcane counting and a pair of fine wands." After a while, the man said "Isn't this knitting?" "This, too, it's magic."

Jared Leto has a very good agent.

I’m going to make people unhappy with this take: most of the Trump voters I know are very manosphere influenced. That’s also true of the people who didn’t vote. Americans weren’t voting For Trump or fascism or racism. They were voting against the female candidate.

4 years today. 😭

Did you know this?

general strike tomorrow no work, no school, no shopping i know not everyone is able to participate...if you can't, the least you can do is not shop...if you have to shop, shop small business, shop locally & ethically don't buy shit if you can

Get off TikTok. It, too, is about to become a Nazi app.

What would become of a Greenland whale, say, in those shuddering, icy seas of the North, if unsupplied with his cosy surtout?

I found this one quite helpful. www.graywolfpress.org/books/art-po...

Everybody needs to stop screaming and calm the fuck down.

Happy evening beautiful people ❤️

Rep. Hageman is lying about the hearsay rule. Hearsay may indeed be admitted as evidence; it depends on what it is being submitted for or if an exception applies.

Lunch cheese! #corgicrew

Thinking about this, if poll workers do their jobs, seizing “voting machines” is meaningless theater. FOUR records of the vote count are immediately separated & secured after the polls close, all of which can be cross-checked & none of which is left in a “voting machine.” ALL US VOTERS CAN SERVE:

When I was just a little girl I asked my mother what will I be Will I be pretty Will I be rich Here's what she said to me

Fucking brilliant, flee the state Ted, flee the state!

and the great shroud of the sea rolled on as it rolled five thousand years ago

Ted Cruz is trending. 🙄 Dildo.

A major winter storm is coming. Now is the time to prepare.

Some people really need to learn to just take the L and move on with their lives.

I'm tired of the billionaire class. If you post about anything other than boycotting Amazon, Taylor Swift, Lauder, Musk, Disney, Target, Walmart, and a long list of other billionaire nasties, I will likely unfollow you. (Not that I'm particularly important.) I'm tired.

Find something you like on Amazon, Audible, Etsy, Spotify, etc? See whether you can buy it directly from the creator first.

Every European country should sell off their U.S. Treasury bonds, until Trump stops threatening Greenland.

🇩🇰🇺🇸 Clash Report: Danish MEP Anders Vistisen to Trump: "Let me put this in words you might understand: Mr. President, fuck off."

"All we say to America is, "Be true to what you said on paper."... But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of the press. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right."
