here’s a morning update ❤️‍🔥 we’ve raised $1,162 for this 6th worker & their family that we are working with. we are hoping to raise $1,400 for them — just as we all came together to do for 5 families earlier this week! that means we’ve got just $238 to meet that goal! can we get there today? ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

universally good advice

SOOO excited to finally get to share that i will be part of the casting team for the GEOGUESSR WORLD LEAGUE this year!!! get ready for even MORE geoguessr sundays📍🫶

For those who don't know: Strudel is a javascript livecoding environment, you make music in real time by programming as you go. Since it's javascript, you can do this right in the browser.

If you don’t live in the Twin Cities, today is a good day to donate, check in with those who do, & share encouragement/support. It is not a good day to say or imply we aren’t doing enough to push back on what’s happening here, as we face the “largest immigration effort ever” & extreme violence.

Minneapolis public schools are closed, but St Paul are open, & I'm sure many others across the Metro are open. I'm sure staffing is heavily impacted a long way out. If you have time to be with your family, this is the time to call out or consider alternatives.

Even in this dark hour, the @nytimes.com simply cannot locate their moral compass. The @defector.com didn't have any trouble.

Prosecute the former regime at every level. ICE's murder of a young mom should be the final nail in this wicked gestapo's coffin. Disband ICE, investigate all agents. Also: impeach & prosecute Trump—both for the cavalcade of illegal presidential actions, as well as the fact that he's a pedophile.

There are no words.

ICE is a death-making force. At least 32 people died in ICE detention in 2025, and many people are deported into deadly situations. They hunt and kidnap people. They gas people. They shoot people. They are fascist purveyors of violence, and lying is like breathing to them.

Order the police to arrest them, then. Order the police to drive them from the state or these are just words from a boy mayor trying to sound like a big man.

Arrest the murderer and arrest Bovino. Not complicated.

this energy is great. I wish it happened a month and a half ago before our neighbors were kidnapped and a woman was murdered

My thoughts right now are with the loved ones of the victim murdered by ICE, an individual who was out in our community because of the care and love for our immigrant neighbors. The agent who murdered our neighbor must be arrested. 1/

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

They also shot a woman several times, who thankfully survived, and subsequently had all the charges dropped against her.

Tim, this is your chance for a no-fucks-given approach. Direct the prosecution of this. You absolutely must.

@governorwalz.mn.gov How will you ensure justice for the people you govern?

If you are reading this and you consider yourself a socialist or communist but you haven’t educated yourself or worked with others to get yourself educated I know it seems silly in the face of it all but collective study and organization will lead to effective action. It’s not too late.

I can't stop crying thinking about this I love you all, I fucking love you all

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

This is the video.

The message here should be “we want the shooter.”

ICE agents stopped by protesters after the shooting an observer in Minneapolis, according to witnesse. ICE deployed pepper spray and tear gas.

Get outside, if you’re able. They’re getting so many people but they can still be pushed back! They’re still afraid of us. If you can’t get to Southside, every business corridor is lousy with agents.

In one of my final two pieces for the year, I wrote about why I couldn’t stop trying to solve mysteries in 2025 aftermath.site/mystery-game...

Goodbye December ❄️ Wishing everyone a beautiful ending to the last day of the year tomorrow and a beautiful start to a new one!!

Here’s a thought. If you’re super wealthy you could just buy a nice house in an upper middle class neighborhood and live like other people do instead of buying a fuck you house with 17 rooms you never go into but which make you a target for weirdos.

In America, where irony is dead, a hotel chain uses a policy denying shelter to local people, for fear of accidentally housing homeless persons… To deny a reservation to the author of a much-lauded book on how American economic unfairness forces working people into homelessness.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

volume 2, issue 2 of @turningleafjournal.bsky.social was published today, featuring five pieces of my work! it's a lovely issue of this digital journal — browse it online at turningleafjournal.com/volume-2-iss...! thank you to their team for including my work!

heres the background i did for @infloresce.com 's snowdrop festival! i was super honored to be invited, and i really liked working on this! solarpunk voles!! #art #loniart

Instead of normal driver's eduction, everyone should have to learn to ride a bicycle, then motorcycle first. I think it might fix everything.

Holiday gathering reminder 🎁 If your guests test w/rapids twice before the event, 48 hours apart, it’ll catch 63% of Covid cases even if they have no symptoms. Testing 3x improves that to 79%! This is how we curb the annual January surge that gave me Long Covid—thanks for protecting yr community 🤍

Is the old "papers, please" cliche still the universal symbol of fascist tyranny? Because the US-born son of a congresswoman was racially profiled by federal agents on a Target run, forced to produce his passport. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

— EVENT — Snowdrop Festival 2025 🌸🔬 Sat, Dec. 13, 1pm Pacific Our fourth annual virtual music festival, celebrating yet another year of outstanding music and art with friends and our community! 🎶 More info: infloresce.com/snowdrop-festival-2025 Poster by @aggelicyiok.bsky.social + @aiviwave.com

Congratulations you fucking morons

The shingles vaccine could lay me out for a week and I'd prefer that to shingles.

if you haven't had the chance to watch previous snowdrop festivals, definitely tune in this saturday!! easily one of the most inspiring music / creative events i've attended 🥹🥹 and i'm so honoured to be part of the lineup... so much talent all in one place

also the nice thing about learning how to do something yourself is that no one can take that skill away from you. but if *all* you know how to do is write a prompt and hit generate, you’re relying on infrastructure that can be restricted/censored—and tech companies that can go bankrupt—at anytime.

Re-upping this. At least one attempted abduction was stopped this morning by bystanders with whistles. Organize your community, and show ICE how cold Minnesota can be.

When I walked through there at 8:30-9:00 last night I saw a total of three people out. Show up for our neighbors however you can.

in order: purchasing on bandcamp, streaming or purchasing from qobuz, streaming from most other platforms (apple music, tidal, deezer, etc.), or pirating (if financially unable to afford other options) are all valid alternatives to supporting the spotify corporation.

it's worse than that: the machines could crank out a larger volume of shittier cloth *and* didn't require a lot of training to operate so instead of paying the same workers the same price for more cloth, they got a bunch of orphaned kids to work the machines

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
