Here are some nice mushrooms and lichens

This Homan claim is stupid and has been debunked. It's not a tally of "missing" children in the way any normal person understands that phrase. It's children DHS considers unaccounted for from an immigration paperwork perspective. It doesn't mean they aren't with family or a legal guardian.

It's day 80 of the ICE occupation of MSP. Many of our neighbors have been in hiding for 11 weeks. We have 9 days to raise March 1 rent for those families. Please dig in and give as you can - many rent relief fund are in desperate need of $$ StandWithMinnesota.com

hi! @rollingfor20.bsky.social are working on barnraising this one together! we'd be so grateful for your support to help these treasured community members & comrades stay housed!

CAT MOVED IN TODAY 🥹 he's shy shy boy so he's hiding and we're giving him space while occasionally checking on him every couple hours. he is Stressed and I just want him to take his time and feel safe

got a fax at work today for precert for cpt codes they explicitly told me don't require auth, and of course a month ago I sent in a request for the ones they said did and that got canceled bc it didn't require it. I s2g you say a cpt code at provider service reps and they shit themselves in fear

watching a clip of marcello hernandez talking about how his mom didn't let him have adhd and I'm like damn actually so much of satx and rgv culture makes sense through this lens 😂 latina moms do notttt let you have mental illness and then you just have to suffer fr

cat tomorrow cat tomorrow cat tomorrow cat tomorrow

akotsk apparently doing hell on the female characters of the hedge knight and even making up new ones to be weird about is really cementing my opinion that housey dragons is an outlier. this book series has some of thee best fantasy writing for women, howwwww are y'all FUCKING IT UP SO CONSISTENTLY

Morning. 🖼️ Good Omens, Jessica Roux.

You tell yourself it's the ivy moving against the glass. Tell yourself old, half-abandoned buildings are full of noises you'll never fathom out. Then the voices start and you realise no writhing vegetation, no auditory pareidolia from ancient pipes offers up full sentences.

douglas adams was our most accurate futurist

normal behavior: crying silently while you place your first order to chewy in 6 months (because the last order was for a cat who is not here any more and you feel weird that you're shopping for a cat that isn't her and also guilty????)

I can't believe I almost forgot to post this today

I never got around to reposting my Weird Duck Time comic this year! Also, unrelatedly, today is a good day to help out at standwithminnesota.com

today at 11am: MMIR march for missing and murdered indigenous relatives meet at the minneapolis american indian center at 1530 e franklin ave

The “somebody was taken here” tags around town are extremely haunting and I wonder what other ways we can visualize the holes in the fabric here because so many people are still missing/taken/disappeared/transferred between concentration camps in multiple states…

I find my magic drawn more from books about natural sciences and folklore now than instructional books or astrology. I'm glad others are still loving those, but I am instead mulling everything around inside me, and when it's ready to decant I am excited to see what it looks like.

...at any rate, good afternoon. Queen of Owls from Hookland for you.

too many liberals on here who think criticizing democrats from a further left position means you are just helping republicans. as if these democrats are above reproach and we should support them unconditionally and not want them to move left as republicans keep shifting the overton window rightward

well i for one couldn’t be more excited for the possibilities of AI. finally a technology that answers the age old question ‘what if clippy was wormtongue’

I have so much stuff to be stressed about so unfortunately all my anger is getting taken out by show-onlies/shownlies trying to insert their useless opinions into me talking about asoiaf on other platforms. my advice is don't make yourself an easy target to me!! I do bite!!!!!

"what about street photographers? what about people recording their abusers? what about people recording ICE?" i'm sorry but I cannot spoon feed you everything. you are going to have to use your own brain to analyze situations sometimes and decide if they are similar or different

Honestly past an eviction moratorium: we need about 5 million in rent support now.

a powerful account of what’s happening in Minneapolis from Amna Akbar www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/fe...

The Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building looms in the background of the camp at Coldwater Spring, or Mni Owe Sni, at Fort Snelling along the Mississippi River — where the U.S. government in the mid-1800s killed hundreds of Dakota people and imprisoned more than 1,600 in a concentration camp.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

lrp: welcoming lady gaga to the club of "looking white but still getting racial slurs", hey girl it sucks here but at least we have each other 💕

Italians, your white card has been revoked. Stefani Germanotta is a perfidious latin

if we can't hold that men of color can be victims of systemic and individual racism that genuinely harms them AND that they are capable of wielding violent misogyny against women (esp women of color), then wtf are we even doing here. using the former to obfuscate the latter is diabolical and YET

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

"[T]here is a short jump between contempt for women and eugenics, and an even shorter one from eugenics to actual fascism."

together we can be like water

For many immigrant families in Minnesota, sending a child to school each day requires faith that one of the thousands of federal immigration officers deployed around the state won’t detain them. Thousands of children are staying home, often for lack of door-to-door transportation — or simply trust.

unfortunately every time a manhwa translates a scream of agony to "aaaack!" I am picturing cathy of newspaper comics fame in my head and I'm wrenched from the immersion immediately

giving aerion short hair and daeron long hair is a crime to me. also BAELOR BREAKSPEAR BEING WHITE IN CASE U FORGOT

Trump's constant degradation of female reporters is unsurprising but the press corps' collective decision to treat it as background noise is actually kind of sickening

Mercado is an incredible place here in S Minneapolis. If you’ve been looking for ways to try to help businesses negatively impacted by ICE, send them some money!

why does vivaldi's four seasons continue to fuck so severely. summer first movement came on my playlist and I was like omg omg omg

The river is the witch's friend. It is her gossip-gatherer, her curse-cleanser. It sings the seasons to her. Its banks and bridges are an engine of fluid threshold magics. She is on first name terms with its tutelary spirit. One could call it her accomplice. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

It’s day 64 of the ICE occupation of MSP. Today ICE officers once again arrested observers at gunpoint, caused lockdowns of neighborhood schools, and harassed people on the street simply for their skin color. Nothing has changed, despite the rhetoric from “leaders.”

Fascism wants you to believe that you are alone. That you are isolated. That the feelings you have are yours and nobody else has them because everybody is too afraid to speak. But love is stronger than fascism. Community is stronger than fascism.

so funny story, fiancé is in his last class for his masters in counseling and it is trauma and grief. and in a larger conversation I asked him how many times in his reading has he gone, 'ah. ahhhhh.' bc of me, and he was like, CONSTANTLY

okay I'm over this mf cold. I'm done. time to move on bitch I'm bored with it and I want a gatdamn coffee

Where in life can we shore up our sense of leadership? Can we point to any 1 person? Recent events have shown that globally, our current leaders are compromised & guilty of terrible crimes. It’s incumbent upon us to choose new leadership, however we may do it, but it’s best to start local. #tarotsky

👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻They were cruising around my neighborhood this AM, “escorted“ by a cyclist and several honking cars. I did a donation drop-off at one of the centers this afternoon and believe me, no one there who needed food and diapers thinks there’s a ”draw down“ or positive change of any kind. 😡

ten years ago I had menorrhagia for about 8 weeks that was so bad I was visibly turning paler and paler and couldn't get out of bed in the last week. my gyn at the time put me on oral birth control and said to let her know when I wanted kids, and only then we could figure out what it was.

started reading an achingly lovely book called "i cheerfully refuse" that has the same dystopic quality of parable of the sower, in that it is very "next sunday ad" with the focus on people, not necessarily worldbuilding, and as a result lets the writing flower into beautiful blooms

if you only watched the show I really don't care about any asoiaf opinion you have, including any grrm opinions. you don't even know who jon connington and young griff are, why should I take anything you say about this fandom seriously
