When the white pride stops priding

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning. I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

Bovino on Fox News tonight, “90% of the public are happy to see us. They like to engage with us, talk with us and find out about our missions."

Really goddamn inspiring.

I will never tire of this. I hope his tailbone hurts like hell today

If Trump and Vance were truly confident in their (false) narrative around the ICE killing in Minneapolis, they’d allow a joint investigation with state law enforcement.

Minnesota Public Radio says today marks the first and only shooting and homicide in Minneapolis in the year 2026

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman it’s not hard to understand why a woman in Minnesota would be afraid of a man in a mask who says he’s a cop.

orcas have the chance to do the funniest thing

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Who has made this 🤣

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Somewhere in the multiverse there is a Warren Presidency, and I wish I could verse-jump to it. #everythingfeministeverywhereallatonce

FUCK. ICE.

So much admiration for the courage of Twin Cities neighbors! They are tangling with feds at Bro-Tex in Saint Paul:

This is less than a mile from my office (I’m working from home today so not there). I am so damn angry this is happening and feel so much gratitude for those showing up to show ICE how we feel about them. FUCK ICE

Latest FO - the Staffin Lite vest by @thecreabea.bsky.social made with West Yorkshire Spinners stash yarn. I love the textures which made for a fun knit, and I love the fit!

Choosing to believe that Cheney’s death is a good omen for Election Day

Kristi and her ICE goons are NOT WELCOME in the Twin Cities

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

Here’s a silly selfie with Salem to balance out my last post

Please for the love of god stop using AI (unless it’s for something on the level of cancer research,etc.) Even if you aren’t concerned for environmental reasons (and you you should be), you ought to be opposed to paying for the energy required to make lameass AI art

I mean, it *would* be cool if the government paid me $75 for every $5 worth of prescriptions I filled…

i told my landlord they're releasing the amelia earhart files and he lowered my rent 50%. i told my grocer and he gave me a free nectarine. i told my doctor and he said i didn't have to pay for the visit. try it. you never know who out there has been waiting for this moment.

yeah we're into LLMs (Large Lamb-bridge Models)

My Oktobervest WIP is coming along! I’m mostly working on my Rhinebeck sweater at present, but it’s a “stay at home and focus” type of project, so I’m glad this knitting meetup gave me an excuse to work on it. Photo stolen from @botanicalknitter.bsky.social

Took Sweater Josh to go see real Josh in “The History of Sound” Somehow managed not to cry off all my eye makeup in the process. It was such a beautiful film, visually, musically, and both Paul and Josh were fabulous in it. #fandomknitting #PaulMescal #JoshOConnor #TheHistoryofSound

I like it.

My pet also wanted to be a part of my Gaskell photo shoot, @louloucan.bsky.social! I’m just starting the first sleeve, so I’m hopeful I might still get it done for Rhinebeck! Pattern by @susancrawfordvint.bsky.social; yarn by @yarnnouveau.bsky.social (it’s a bit darker in real life)

JD Vance has such a punchable face.

Child abuse aficionado James Dobson dead at the tragically advanced age of 89.

Boston will not back down from who we are and what we stand for.

Been trying to figure out the expression here and it’s when a dog has a grape in its mouth and you have to be like spit it out Ranger, Ranger you can’t have grape, and Ranger is like no I love grape

I am mildly obsessed with this account and their accompanying podcast #absoluteunits

reminding everyone that they got bested by a guy armed with a sandwich is a bold strategy

Sleepy lil pollinators 🐝😴

Sheepies are so precious 🥹

Boo, so disappointing!

You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive ― James Baldwin Night 💚📖

Mm, not quite 😂

Found an especially picturesque spot by the Mississippi this weekend
