Consider what you may be able to get ready for cooler weather while we're working with these warmer temps a bit longer & buying some time in that regard. Familiarize yourself with these drop locations & whether they're close to work/home/extracurriculars. Look into the stuff normally needed.

3 years ago on this day, I brought this skittish tiny baby home. I dreamt of having a monitor lizard, but she was so shy, I worried she’d never take to me. Now Liora is a big, wonderful snugglepod who loves cuddles, pets, and just spending time with me. Happy birthday, Miss Liora! ❤️🎉

up 6 min and it’s already got a save? how thoroughly predictable that someone would do that without spending money 🙄.

What if the rapture happened a long time ago but only Amelia Earhart made the cut?

Why can't I convince this child that zebra cakes are not made out of zebras??? He... Just laughs and doesn't believe me????

Last reskeet: Set aside that pets (service animals aren't the same) don't belong EVERYWHERE people want to take them, how fascinating that "Bringing dogs into restaurants" would be a priority for any elected official right now, regardless of size of jurisdiction.

Minneapolis - do you have a Sam's Club membership and/or know where I can get these? My current placement kids say I have the "wrong" nuggets, so their aunt sent me a pic & says she gets them at Sam's. Cub doesn't have them (or different packaging?) and the kids eat but eating stranger food is hard

Good morning, orb weaver.

lmao

Keep showing up.

These folks have been protesting every week for 6 months.

I know it's hard to do but you have to tune out the constant & I mean constant torrent of criticisms on social media re: activism & organizing. If you don't, it can stop you from trying to do any activism or organizing. Most of the critics aren't doing any organizing themselves so keep trying things

Teens have been target marketed for a loooong time. Kids too. But before it was just about giving a girl anorexia with Sixteen magazine. Now, it's back to bund meetings.

Jason is a real one, let’s make sure they recover well and return the care they give us!

This is Dave. Everybody say "hi Dave"

If you're in the Twin Cities and not sure where/how to start, here are a few ideas. This is all focused on ACTING: going places and doing things - volunteer with @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social in distributing supplies to unhoused people

We are no longer in a state of direct and emergent needs, if you want to donate anything we normally use we can accept it at Arbeiter Brewing, b. Resale, Boneshaker Books, Duck Duck Coffee, and Modist Brewing!

I think I've always been viscerally offended by settlers trying to sell violence as satire, because i intuitively knew that it's a tactic of reinforcing in-out group dynamics in plain sight.

They'll gas light u and swear up and down "it's just a joke" , etc. But humor does serve a function of reinforcing in group recognition dynamics.

Underrated feature: Libby holds your place in audiobooks if you have to return them and check them out again.

If you are LGBTQ and you feel like you have a right to deadname a problematic trans person you are a part of the problem We do not deadname members of our community that’s a tactic of our oppressors okay

I don't need to know Sarah McBride's deadname to know she's unhelpful, and neither does anyone else A trans person's deadname is not something you weaponize, I don't give the tenth part of a single fuck who they are or what your intention is 💖

I hate telling this story, but when tear gas is in the news... telling always feels importantm Tear gas is an abortifacient. When I was tear gassed, we were trying for a baby. The following day, I bled in a way I never have before. Like no period of my life before or since. Horror movie stuff.

That's when you do a stellar job with your anarchy!

Why? So people on the right can fteak out about something that will never touch their lives in anyway? Or so some trashy woman can go on tiktik crying her eyes out begging for mr trump to save them? You mean like that? Seen it done it boring and predictable plus childish sophmoric comments like this

And if you have a library card but the library is far, or you prefer digital or audiobooks, Libby is THE BEST!!! I listen to audiobooks almost every day and it absolutely makes my life better.

Perpetually relevant - ESPECIALLY: ask the residents what they want and need, and don't promise things you can't do!

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

*takes off reporter hat* My good friend Jason Garcia @jasoncomix.bsky.social has been in the hospital since Sept. 2. They asked me to help set up a GoFundMe to assist in their hospitalization and after-care costs. Here it is:

Everyone, especially Strong Boy Mayors, will tell you that people are "offered services." If those services are ever adequate & dignified I promise those people are already on the 2-year waitlists and many have temporarily lost their spots because when a space became available they were unfindable.

Twin cities, what are some of the radical ways a work group could volunteer labor around food or housing?

I emailed the preschool to say the 3 year old wants to bring the lizards in for show and tell and we should talk about if that's an option and if so what kind of timing would work best for the class... the teacher responded "you'd have to be there" uh... Yes I was not sending them in his backpack???

Can anyone remind me what happened to Columbia when they pre-capitulated?

Okay, Facebook ads are getting a *bit* over the top now 😳 At least it gendered me correctly?
