I get the sense that a boycott of Meta social apps would be an effective arm of a general strike but I don't recall any explicit mention of it at large

good morning 🌄 please delight in these 14th century illustrations from Konrad von Megenberg, "Das Buch der Natur"

confirmation that the neighborhood crows are eating the unsalted peanuts I've left out for them before the squirrels find them! until recently it was only a hunch, then talon prints in the snow, and today I witnessed the act with my own eyes 👀

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

incredible. yes

cute action shot ❄️💧💡 of a negligent landlord

I'm fundraising for families at the mpls high school where I teach. We've been hit really hard by ICE activity & are doing grocery runs every day and working towards rent relief. If you want any original art of mine, here is a great way to get it: flanland.com/fundraiser

showing off my friends post. this tree is my neighbor and it has grown up with this stone. the stone appears to be balancing on the bulbous trunk but nope, it's tucked in there! maybe one day it will he fully engulfed? I love to greet them both while in the park.

Murdering protestors is what dictators do. Trump threatened to bomb Iran for it — while he and his ICE brownshirts are doing it right here. ICE must leave Minnesota now. Congress must stop funding them. And the perpetrators of these crimes must be held accountable. x.com/startribune/...

I've never religiously watched local gov press conferences but here I am watching today's latest since Mamdani took office 23 days ago.

one quick update to the post:

I will no longer refer the I.C.E. as “ice” That shit deserves the three discrete letters treatment not a cute acronym. There’s the FBI, the CIA and the ICE

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

bonjour! 🌞

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

Mind-boggling stuff: ICE has detained 4 Oglala men and is apparently demanding the Lakota--a nation of the continent's original inhabitants--“enter into an immigration agreement with ICE." www.twincities.com/2026/01/13/i...

I'm the friend or family member to call for help with pre-planning end-of-life arrangements.

had a lovely day shopping funeral homes and comparing casket prices. would do again!

What's up Dryden

soup and tea on repeat

find a spider, pick it up, and all the day you'll have good luck

devising soup recipes from the ether is my most practiced psychic intuitive skill

The dog is trying her best and it’s good enough for me

morning walk treasures

legitimately excited for my friends raising offspring

many people I love are bastards so when ever I see the term #ACAB I interpret it as bacon 🥓 instead

Without reverence, rage would burn me from the inside out. In the stillness of my heart I hope that Renee Nicole Good's spirit is greeted by her kin on the other side. I light a candle with a prayer for her spirit's crossing & solace to her surviving family despite the public nature of her murder🕯🕊

the ruling class thrives off these public executions

abolish ice is the moderate position to be honest. whichever candidate promises to nuremberg the ice agents has my vote at this point

one quick update to the post:

Chevron stock jumped up this morning in the wake of Trump’s attack on Venezuela.

Trump’s super PAC brought in over $100 million in the second half of 2025. The co-founder of OpenAI and his wife gave $25 million. One crypto company gave over $20 million. Oligarchs broadly, and tech oligarchs specifically, are backing Trump to the hilt.

I'm in awe to witness these dancers on a regular basis ♡

It seems it is once again time for everyone to familiarize themselves with this anti-imperialist classic.

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

Oooo the moon is full and the newsletter is live open.substack.com/pub/mandalat...

Replacing alcohol and weed with water and smut.

there are two wolves inside of me

it's collecting pine tree branches from discarded Xmas trees time of the year

the patch has come off

You can't see it, but my eye is healing well! Singing the praises of hot plantain leaf compresses and taking plantain tincture daily. #plantmedicine

You will get a sentimental feeling

next year more labyrinth walking 💫🌀
