Look at your knife-handle, there, my civilized and enlightened gourmand dining off that roast beef, what is that handle made of?—what but the bones of the brother of the very ox you are eating?

NOW: In Minneapolis, Powderhorn Park's rent supply fund is short this month. If you chip in you will be helping hundreds of families with not only this month's rent but back rent also. Every little bit helps! www.gofundme.com/f/support-po...

perhaps my hottest take: normies don't exist. no such thing. everyone on earth is weird as hell

was reading this phenomenal thread of Sad Dad Band Reads thinking "these are all great and all bands that i love but i can't believe i haven't been clocked yet" and then lo and behold...

It’s a small ($2500-10000) grant, and the deadline to apply is 2/23. I made a flyer you can share out, DM me for the PDFs

there are few feelings more demoralizing than running for a bus and not making it, but there are few feelings more exhilarating than running for a bus, making it, and having multiple riders gas you up when you do. much to consider!!!!

A little teaser of something that @corbindewitt.bsky.social's household is cooking up for Stump Party.

every clip of the bushes from bad bunny's halftime performance scurrying around backstage has me thinking about birnham wood coming to dunsinane

feel like i'm using the word "trepidation" a lot lately

best website in minneapolis for the best bar in minneapolis

concept: the word "neighbor" is starting to be used the way i imagine the word "comrade" was used in the post-french revolution, pre-soviet era

on top of all the fucked up shit going on right now i just tore a 12 inch hole in the side of our duvet cover, and as i was wailing "but we JUST got this!!" my husband politely reminded me that we got it in 2021, which was 5 years ago,

evergreen post!!!

Folks outside of Minnesota: Looking for how you can support Latino small businesses in Minneapolis? Here you go.

in case you need field updates from minnesota: yesterday i made 8 quarts of butternut squash soup and turned 7 lbs of venison round into jerky

i have been thinking about this nonstop

"In the streets, in the schools, in the Signal threads, in all our places of healing and justice, we are as locusts." A dvar Torah from occupied Minneapolis by Joey Glick:

i love seeing the random ass assortment of temperatures people are quoting with their pics of minneapolis. a sea of thousands of people out downtown, and a sea of randos sharing the same image over and over with "it's -9 in minneapolis." "it's -18 in minneapolis." "it's 25 below in minneapolis"

Rockwell Kent, "Workers of the World, Unite!" 1937, from collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, which is closed today as part of today's general strike in Minneapolis collections.artsmia.org/art/54994/wo...

no sales today in solidarity with the ICE out strike!! if you come by and attempt to buy a book we will instead make you peruse our free zines and buttons, sip some free coffee from our neighboring cafes (also closed for business), and/or do some crafts. space open for community time 11am-8pm. 💀📚🖤

gotta shout out moon palace and boneshaker books, if you want to buy books from people who are very abolish ICE and end-policing aligned
