Comrade card for 8/22/2025. Happy Friday.

Proof of Life Also, hot flashes

Al Roker has a show on PBS Kids called “Weather Hunters”! It features a Black family 🥰 It’s about an 8yo weather detective and her family learning about weather, climate, etc. It’s for kids ages 4-8. Tap in!!!

The energy requirements of parenting are wild. It can't be Sunday night! I haven't rested yet!

The #Artemis II livestream continues to be the best thing on the internet. 😍 The return-to-Earth live coverage begins at 6:30pm Eastern (in about 90 minutes) with splashdown in the Pacific scheduled for 8:07pm Eastern. www.youtube.com/live/m3kR2KK...

Pope Leo XIV carried the cross across all fourteen stations for over an hour. The prayers named children who had been “taken away and imprisoned during protests, deported by policies devoid of compassion, shipwrecked on desperate journeys of hope, killed in war zones, and wiped out in death camps.”

Texts are just phone emails, man. Another thing to keep up with.

Before a crew of us reinvent the wheel, does anyone know of a direct action personal risk assessment tool specific to school workers? 💛

Alice Wong’s Celebration of Life, March 25 from 11am-1pm PT. Links and info:

She wasn't hired for ratings. She was hired as part of an ongoing fascist ideological project. So she is succeeding.

My latest. "The only place I know how to begin is here: We are at war, and I want it to stop."

I read a lot of Stephen King in grade school.

Ramadan has officially ended. Eid Mubarak! Hoping that we take the lessons of Ramadan into the year and that we offer more compassion to each other and commit to lessening suffering how we can.

Fuck, I don't even remember writing this! (How can a heart just keeping breaking after it's already crushed?)

Good morning. Have a good Thursday 😊💙🦋🌱

“Because you are alive, everything is possible.” Thich Nhat Hanh. #flowerfeed🌱

oh good i was worried it was white supremacy and capitalism

Vietnam urges people to work from home to save fuel as Iran war disrupts supplies reut.rs/4bf05tr

Good thing to remember online right now is that everyone here is very emotionally dysregulated and dealing with that by posting

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead, Iranian state media reports.

Donations to the family who are trying to raise money for travel and funeral expenses.

HELLO, FRIENDS! The women's shelter where I volunteer lost almost all of their art and craft supplies last year. I can't fix everything, but I have a big network here, and so do a lot of you, and I'm pretty sure that together, we can fix this. www.thingstogetme.com/2169641a9c163

They sang “American Idiot”

“Oh, did a sportsball happen?” I whisper smugly from my vantage point on a distant cliff, the sounds of celebration in the village far below just barely audible over the lonely wind whipping my tattered cloak

I’ve never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.

Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.

I personally don't tell people who have been fighting their hearts out daily for weeks not to celebrate wins of any size. I certainly don't do that when I've been nowhere near the place where the fight has been happening and have done little more than make some donations from miles away.

"ICE OUT" on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, as seen from my flight leaving MSP airport

Since so many people are fangirling over Carney's supposed "historic" speech in Davos, I want to offer an alternative reading. This is not left cynicism, but a sober reading of imperial positioning in this moment. 1) Carney squarely positioned Canada as a middle power.

You can become disabled or homeless in an instant. Even if you’re young and healthy. Even if you have a “good job” and a back up plan. Even if you think you’re doing everything right. Disability and poverty are not moral failings. They can happen to anyone.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

A person who took me in when I was homeless is now behind on rent herself. She's had a hella year -- 3 kids, single mom, going through an ugly divorce. She owes $1400 in rent and has $200 on hand. Venmo/Cash app: AmandaKFinley PayPal: [email protected] Zelle (ask) Thanks for helping and sharing!

There is a job posting for a mathematics staff writer at @quantamagazine.bsky.social: simonsfoundation.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/simons... Maybe this is good for you or somebody you know! #MathSky 🧮 #iTeachMath ♾️

Something about adults who can't grasp that it is developmentally appropriate for a kid not to remember every single person they ever talked to & thus get miffed when said kid doesn't immediately remember them

Do you have a “Type A” personality or is it undiagnosed ADHD?

Looking for suggestions: If I were to find myself in need of patty paper, but wanted to avoid Am@zon, where would you send me to purchase said patty paper? I'm am building out an idea for a conference presentation on MP5 and student-choice with geometric constructions & we'll be folding things.

Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that I’ve been struggling and I’m glad I’m working to get help. I think a lot of us have built up a tolerance for suffering but what if we don’t have to suffer? What if life doesn’t have to feel like it’s killing us? If you have resources that can help, get help.

YOU DUMB FUCKS. THIS IS ME. I have a scooter. I can walk. I can't, however, walk through 80 miles of airport. I can walk onto an airplane or through hallways. I can't walk the .5 mile to the convention center. People, get smarter, it's embarrassing at this point.

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

Yall you gotta order your Christmas gifts by the end of the weekend.

Inevitably at Thanksgiving dinner, I go sit in the bathroom just for some peace and quiet. Highly recommend.

True. I try not to dialogue with people who debate material conditions as hypothetical word problems. But I’m weak.

I see a lot of people speculating about how Alice died and I am asking you to...please not do that. If her family wants to share information about that on their own time, they will, but the speculation and sometimes outright conspiracy theories are actually really upsetting for them to see.
