sometimes, if you’re up early enough, you can hear them turn the birds on

“Affordability” was the Democratic campaign buzzword last year. Most often the focus is on housing, or on transit. But power generation is another huge pillar of that, and we need to be seriously thinking about how to improve our crappy status quo there www.liberalcurrents.com/the-liberal-...

Hell yeah! Let's go analog to fight AI! 🔥

I think about this post a lot.

Have found tumblr user probablyday's #woosterposting series. In shock

a reporter asked “is mutual aid a form of resistance?” and i felt my body pulled into of a room of movement elders who have made this seem like a question i don’t have to think about to respond of course of course mutual aid is an expression of love love is an act of resistance

Happy large boulder the size of a small boulder day for all who celebrate

the last year has left me with unending faith in the courage of ordinary people and bottomless contempt for the fecklessness of our ruling class

I don't keep doomers in my feed but since apparently some folks do: "celebrate each and every win, loudly" is Organizing 101

let’s just turn the internet off for a bit and see where it takes us

in this house we say frick

I didn't get any sleep because I was practicing swordcraft in heavy plate, I pulled an all-knighter

This is so important because A) she did it in response to Benedict Wong, a far more prominent actor, saying he's listening to the audiobooks a lot and B) did it unprompted, she specifically stopped the fluff interview to draw the comparison to the themes of their film and support trans people.

National Nurses United, largest nurses' union in US, are holding actions over the coming week in honor of Alex Pretti and all others killed by ICE www.nationalnursesunited.org/week-of-acti...

This is a great guide on how you can help support protestors even if you live outside of Minnesota. Note, especially, the bit about Ring cameras. "Ring partners with Flock, which gives information to law enforcement (without a warrant), including ICE."👇 naomikritzer.com/2026/01/21/h...

In my ongoing attempts to give you a break from *gestures widely* THE HORRORS: Let's talk about the utterly bizarre science of cats' purring. Here's a weird starting point: There are NO cats (Felidae) that can BOTH roar AND purr. Cats that roar = genus Panthera Cats that purr = genus Felis

I think about this post a lot

This is the hobbit

The "Everyone is just waiting for the opportunity to help" theory almost always pans out.

Man, ain't that just the point of life? Joy, silliness, togetherness, and care 🥹

Radicalized by my desire to not be a cruel asshole

The truth is that being an asshole is harder and infinitely less rewarding than just being nice, and most of human history has been about pretending otherwise.

more physical media in ‘26 that’s it

will you be my date to the reign of terror

I was having a low grade panic attack most of the day, but I countered it by walking some stuff over to the community fridge. If you’re also feeling helpless, I recommend doing something similar on a local level. It’s not gonna fix the world, but helping your neighbors is a great lil start.

We will show God a sign for once

Thinking of building myself a screaming room. Just for reading the news.

If you're not Minnesotan, you might not know that the late Philando Castile is a major reason we got free school lunches for all children in the state. When he was alive, Castile was a cafeteria worker who covered the cost of lunch for children who were too poor to eat. 1/x

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

Don't pressure yourself to adapt to every new situation & skill effortlessly. Living a meaningful, focused life doesn't come easy to anyone, & you're working against programming that f*cked your head up about your worth & competence. Grace over guilt. Baby steps & micro choices.

It's not the main piece here from a legal perspective here but what stands out to me is "I am disgusted and gutted at how they are treating my neighbors and my state." It's striking how much I've heard (and said!) the word "neighbors" of late, and I think it's such a fundamental part *all this*…

i think about this picture of fred shuttlesworth looking at his bombed out house every day because it is in my classroom and so i see it five times a week. tired and defiant. a face that says well, on we go

Not everything is a protest. Try the word “resistance” on for size—it covers a lot more stuff than just marches. 98% of the Minnesota response has been mutual aid, community organizing, neighborhood safety patrols, etc.

Get angry because someone like you was murdered by the state. Stay angry because the state murders people who aren't like you every day.

the best part of this post is the roughly 17% of you who thought a harbor seal was holding back the apocalypse and is either metaphorically or literally cracking thank you for your service to us on this day

anyways solidarity to my friends in who are doing their best in the federal government rn who are probably about to eat another furlough

everything they thought would scare us merely makes us more resolved

Here's a handy video of some warm-up exercises you can do to help get yourself prepared to shovel! Obviously, adjust them to your fitness level, but the main goal is get yourself warmed up for physical activity. You can't go from 0 to 60 here, & you'll get a better idea of what you can handle!

I don't think it's ever been harder for people with mental health conditions and neurodivergent people to be in work*, because work has become such a micromanaged, target-focused, constantly dishonest nightmare, while life outside work is also terrible *especially office work, maybe

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

Staff Reads from our Social Media Manager: "In a world of AI trash, having a tangible object that captures culinary stories and history feels more important than ever. I loved this piece by Emiko Davies about why cookbooks matter so much right now."

Thanks for the helpful auto-complete, Gmail.

Completely unoriginal thought but: it's frustrating that the actual experience of living in large cosmopolitan multicultural city (London Uk in my case) is actually pretty dope, but a lot of politics is organised around this being a nightmare scenario that must be apologised for and avoided.

I mourn and dream for the world I know we can have
