I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

It’s the addition of wheels to make the act of carrying the cross easy and painless that really tells you everything you need to know about the absolutely uncritical and selfish ideological positioning of this kind of politics.

Just going to have this as a daily affirmation stuck on my mirror.

Hey Friends, this week in Minneapolis there were two shootings at homeless encampments, making it even harder for our neighbors. Sanctuary Supply Depot is raising money to help bring a little more comfort and care. If you have a few dollars to spare (they're only trying for $300!), info below:

Big brass balls. If there’s some “crisis of masculinity” in America, it boils down to man-children who lack the cojones of this polite, soft-spoken, badass accountant and therefore fail to understand that “showing up for our neighbors” is what being a man means if it means anything.

Today's been kind of a rough day. I learned earlier that my current gig will be ending 10/17. Though the timing is never great it's not really surprising. Was hoping to get a few more months out of it, though. Anyway, if anybody's hiring here's my LinkedIn profile: www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-b...

MN friends - I had no issues getting the Covid vaccine at CVS. You can self-attest to a risk category if you're under 65 when you make your appointment online. I do recommend making an appointment as I haven't seen so many people in line to get a vaccine since they first came out.

Horrifying.

KAMLAGER-DOVE: Dylan Roof, who followed white supremacist propaganda, murdered 9 Black parishioners in 2015. Do you deny this? PATEL: I'm sorry. Dylan Roof? Can you give me more information? KAMLAGER-DOVE: You're head of the FBI

So we have the radiologist’s update on Castiel, and… It could be a lot better. We’re looking at another night of hospitalization, and at least a month of medical recovery. So I have bowed to the inevitable, and set up a GoFundMe to cover the costs. 😔🙏🏼🐈‍⬛ www.gofundme.com/f/help-casti...

Ahem. 🎶Haaaaaaaappy BOOOOOOOOOK DAAAAAAAAAAY tooooooooooooo meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…🎶 📖🎂🚀

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin? TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

Autocorrect just turned "I'm in favor of specificity over vagueness" into "I'm in favor of specificity over baguettes." Which. What.

It is, in fact, my birthday today!

Thinking about this a lot, as I know lots of folks in Minnesota in particular are. Makes this all even harder to take.

Twelve years ago, on a Friday the 13th, I did one of the luckiest things ever, and brought this small black cat home from the shelter. Here she is, napping while I do all the work, which seems about right. All hail Queen Maeve.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MONTRESSOR

Often thinking about when I was a very pregnant teacher and my high school sophomores told me if we ever go into lockdown, I should move to the safest corner of the room right away and they would move the bookcase to barricade the door on their own. "You have the baby," they (babies) said.

One of my most favorite poems.

The Speaker Emerita of the Minnesota House was gunned down in her home and slaughtered along with her husband and dog, and Trump didn't say a thing. Half-mast, my ass.
