I don’t put much faith in the prophecy of groundhogs but one thing I absolutely trust as a sign that spring is not far away is the robins. And more and more of them have been showing up lately. So that’s nice.

I feel like I saw a celebrity. I have never seen one of these irl before and I am star struck over litter.

HEY Y'ALL! Did you miss all the Leftist Supply Depot jokes? Do you want to be part of the mysterious organization that results in a baffling number of dash cams dropping from the sky and into the hands of Minneapolis organizers??? We got you: amzn.to/3NY2y3s (if you hate amz plz go here instead)

No one who has seen the Epstein case unfold should have any doubt left about why victims don’t report. When reporting means facing more abuse, more exploitation, and more betrayal at the institutional level, while the perpetrators are the leaders of the very systems of “justice” supposed to help you

Okay, it took me three days to finally do this, BUT! You can buy whistles from us now! I stress again that getting the whistles free is the OBVIOUS OPTION but some folks want 1-5 Kit Rocha whistles instead of 100 whistles, or to support us. So. OK! thebrokencircle.etsy.com/listing/4449...

I left my old job a couple of years ago. I’m getting by (just) but crikey, having done my tax return & seen how little I’m earning it was a shocker, it’s getting more & more difficult to earn money from illustration. I have been out of action too so…I’ll get cracking! Buy my art (FEBRUARY) 🙏🏻

Call only your OWN reps. Call even if you don't think they will listen. 1) Make staffers create a record and have to note that a constituent called. 2) Make it so they can't ignore the issue/Make clear you won't let this go. 3) Disrupt business as usual and the idea that people "don't care".

That scene in Mulholland Drive will always be the most disturbing thing I’ve ever seen in a movie and apparently maybe there’s something to that being universally terrifying?

And it was PRESTIGE TELEVISION! That series finale? Bleak! Gritty! Prescient! Where is the Emmy?!

The older I get the more intensely I believe that merely being able to sincerely say “I was wrong, I fucked up” inoculates one against so many kinds of wildly destructive personal evil

Cleaning things that clean things. The dishwasher, the washing machine, the vacuum cleaner, snaking drains. Very satisfying and makes a huge difference in how those things perform.

I keep thinking about the toxic, pervasive mythology of "rugged individualism" as a driving force in American culture, and how the collective efforts in the Twin Cities right now are proof that the only way through hard times is together, as a community.

This says so much about what they think of the people who work in these fields. They could NEVER do the work they call “menial labor”

This is an excellent thread if you want to help people in MN but are unsure as to how.

This is true for every imaginable reason. People with impoverished souls want to break the joy that comes from togetherness, but togetherness is our strength and that’s a weapon they don’t have.
