Part of the writing residency i'm doing asks us to make a zine on any topic to leave behind - so obviously mine is about what to read next after watching Heated Rivalry. @rachelreidwrites.bsky.social @kdcaseywrites.bsky.social

excited to spend five days & nights writing at Sou'wester this week and celebrating 14 years of sobriety from alcohol.

If I were going to buy my very first hockey tickets to see @pwhltorrent.bsky.social, where's the best place to sit?

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

I walk thru the mall a lot lately (don’t ask) and I just saw some bonafide mall goths. had to stop myself from clapping for them like troops in the airport

In my nearly 14 years of sobriety to treat alcohol use disorder, I've never felt more seen / represented in all the reading, watching and listening I've done, than by a character in a queer baseball romance novel by @kdcaseywrites.bsky.social.

As a woman in a field, where we were only welcomed as "groupies" man do I feel this.

The people of Minnesota are showing us a better world is possible. One where we stand up for our neighbors and one where what happens to the most marginalized MATTERS. Until we are all free, none of us are.

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

Passive language that benefits abusers: calling victims "young women" or "teenagers" instead of children. Hearing it from even folks in the media I trust & it's gross.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social there are not young women or teenagers, they are children.

This thing 🫴

Hope all these clubs having Heated Rivalry dance nights are donating something to local Queer organizations. Cause if not ...

In the state of mental distress where song lyrics I've heard for years are completely undoing me.

As pointed out by @calmlikeabomb.bsky.social - it's Lady Justice, not Lady Liberty in the protest piece.

As the daughter in law of a 70 something, Subaru driving Lutheran Lady - I *know* our country would be MUCH better off with the Barbara's of the world in charge. May our Senator's channel them and all Minnesotans disobeying, disrupting, and showing up.

Something I've been trying to impart on people is that the ICE occupation in Minnesota is both an ethnic cleansing and an ideological terror campaign. It's clear that the second part has utterly failed; the community is not terrified. But ICE is now desperately trying to salvage the first part.

Protest however possible. There are more of us than them. Graffiti of Alex Pretti in his scrubs helping Lady Liberty to her feet, outside Seattle's Swedish Hospital. Containers spell out Renee (Good) on a ship docked at the Port of Tacoma - packing done by a Longshoreman's Union in Long Beach.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

nice thing in horror world: just saw a waiter from the restaurant next door bring profiteroles covered in chocolate to their record store neighbors. you'll never convince me people are naturally cruel or miserly. community feeds us.

Anti-abortion in the sheets. ICE killing people in the streets “Pro Life” is a scam.

“We have a nice little database, & now you’re considered domestic terrorists” says an ICE agent after photographing a civilian who was videotaping them. Posted today by Brian Allen on X. h/t @allenanalysis.bsky.social

My husband as soon as I woke this morning: "Have you seen the news?" "No. Did he die?" "I would've woken you for that." "Oh, did ICE kill someone else?" (telling silence)

Only speaking personally, but today’s execution isn’t scaring me from protecting our neighbors, as some suggest is ICE’s goal. Nor am I angry with incandescent rage, in that I know such rage is unhelpful. Rather, I feel like it has forced me to truly accept that the same fate might befall me.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minneapolis protester fatally shot by a federal officer was ICU nurse Alex Pretti, his parents say.

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

Minnesota's decided to escalate from being generational legends to being historical icons.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

A+ antique mall finds today, one needs no introduction and the other i'm calling the aspirational ashtray.

My Mom gave up her Danish citizenship to become an American citizen in 2000. This week she cried to me that this wasn't the America she gave so much to be a citizen of. We stand with Denmark & Greenland.

Yesterday, these incompetent fucks were just going door-to-door in a neighborhood near my house at 8:30 in the morning. School buses were driving through trying to pick up kids, people were out walking their dogs, and people were taking out their trash cans.

Happy 46th Anniversary to these crazy kids. ❤️❤️

I met @arimelber.bsky.social at the Seattle memorial for Jerry Garcia 30 years ago & tonight I'll watch him talk about the passing of Bob Weir on TV. Grateful that music has remained at the center of both our lives. But also, TIME, MAN.

A cop shot a person three times point blank and instead of the streets being deserted. They filled with people yelling at the cops [who could have shot them too].

SOON (manifesting)

KOSA has been defeated several times already and they keep trying over and over until the one time it goes through, at which point it becomes everyone's problem. It will be an unmitigated disaster if this passes and they say, well, sorry, now it's the law. Make sure your creature votes No on this.

I have long contended and still firmly believe that every tour bus should have a copy of Spinal Tap on it. Thank you for the laughs, levity and love Rob Reiner.

If the 20 children massacred at Sandy Hook 13 years ago today had survived, they would be 19 & 20 now. Old enough to be killed in their university class room during finals week.

9 years gone today & never far from my mind. I would do just about anything to see one more Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings show.

If I've talked to you in the last 3 years, I've talked about Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Discovering @bufferingcast.bsky.social by finding their book at a St. Louis bookshop on tour, has made me feel like I found my people.

Proud of my fella for writing again - this man knows his Sounders.

The Lagniappe Sessions :: Cochemea aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/10/22/t... Cochemea Gastelum returns with his second Lagniappe entry, this time paying tribute to his southern California roots covering War’s “All Day Music,” and Flip Your Wig era Hüsker Dü.

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

since I can't drink over mariner's sadness, I ate ALL the sugar & found myself googling "sugar poisoning" overnight. #OnceAnAddict

the vibes are sad today

the song “here” by pavement is about the seattle mariners
