I hope Bluesky takes some measure of pride in knowing that the early genesis of what became our new album, which I consider one of our best to date, was this post and the good laughs we had about it here

Flatwater Free Press sought the call logs from the Nebraska governor’s cellphone. Four months later, his office said the records don’t exist. From Andrew Wegley/Flatwater Free Press via Nebraska Examiner

My perspective on this is informed by having worked as at a state psychiatric hospital for three or so years when I was young, and by having done my training at a couple more while studying toward board certification.

While it wasn’t the right recommendation this time, I love that Camp Damascus by @chucktingle.bsky.social is one of my options in Tiny Bookshop!

Turning your grass into a garden isn't as complicated as you think, but it will take time and effort. This step-by-step guide breaks down the process, from killing your lawn to picking plants to grow.

Can we please stop saying “raw dogging” in regular conversations? I would love to not involuntarily gag at random times. Love you, thanks bye!

In recognition of Ted Turner’s passing, here is the “Turner Doomsday Video”, which was intended to be broadcast on CNN if a world-ending event occurred.

Just started playing the game Tiny Bookshop, because who doesn’t want to escape into a fantasy world where I can sell used books out of little wagon by the ocean? I was tickled pink when Wolf in White Van popped up on my shelf to recommend! @themountaingoats.bsky.social

I’d probably just cheat and keep flipping until I got “one more chapter”.

GET READY: The Nebraska primary election is already underway. Let the @NE_Examiner help you prepare. From Zach Wendling:

The U.S. is truly the laughing stock of the world. Well done us.

I’ve never lost an escape room, but this is one I would lose.

For a second there I thought we might actually be able to buy a house, then some random judge canceled the SAVE Act and pulled the rug right out from under us. That’s cool, I’ll just keep living in a shitty rental that costs more than a mortgage.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Our trans brothers and sisters deserve to be celebrated every single day, and we must keep fighting for them until that becomes the norm. In the meantime, I can’t say it any better than Nebraska’s very own @meganhunt.bsky.social:

Mordy was not happy with me when I needed to do some work and had to change the video from his kitty TV. The nerve!

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Hey Democrats, sending 20 unsolicited texts begging for money for whoever the fuck is running against I don’t give a fuck who, in a district I’ve never heard of is not the smartest marketing plan. It is however an excellent way to piss people off and make them never want to donate to anyone again.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

February Reads: Per Dr’s orders I lightened it up a bit this month to mixed reviews. Why is it so hard to find a well written cozy, queer fantasy novel, preferably with witchy vibes? Do I ask too much? Sigh. 🪐📚🩸📚💙📚

So, was Markwayne named after both uncles because they weren’t sure which one was the real father?

January Reads: life has been life-ing, so I am behind. Had to go back and reread Sisters of the Lost Nation after finishing Indian Burial Ground for book club (sadly only my SO and I finished it). I really enjoyed them being in the same world, different timelines. So many little nuggets! 🩸📚🖋️📚💙📚

A lot of people are talking about whether Trump is going to go to war with Iran but not enough people are talking about the fact that Trump has no legal authority to do so without Congressional authorization

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

Watching Waiting for Guffman and crying. What a gem.

Catherine O’Hara wardrobe polaroids from Second City, 1983. RIP an absolute legend & icon💔

🚨✈️ BREAKING: In -20° weather, over 100 clergy and faith leaders were arrested at MSP Airport as they gathered in peaceful, prayerful resistance to demand airlines stand with Minnesotans and say #ICEOutOfMN. #DeICEFlights #ICEOutForGood #DayOfTruthAndFreedom

As we debate increased discipline for struggling students and cuts to disability support, it matters to note that the Governor is driving these policies while proudly and publicly using slurs for disabled people.

Maybe Greenland could invade us instead?

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status. Call the GI Bill Rights hotline: 1-877-447-4487

Important--this is the most significant Trump revenge prosecution that has been flying under the radar. @replamonica.bsky.social we stand with you! Friends please give a read....

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

in case you stan Pluto and you didn’t click through on my other post you really have to see this.

Hard to find the words. Something must be done.

no honor, no dignity. a lifetime of trying to atone for the wrong they’re doing will not be enough. The appropriate posture for them all this morning is on their knees in the Minnesota cold begging the God of the universe, Who is against them, for forgiveness

Mordecai always looks so full of ennui. Me too Momo. Me too.

This makes me feel more patriotic than the national anthem ever could

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.

💯 Congresswoman Robin Kelly (IL-02) files articles of impeachment against DHS Sec. Kristi Noem. Thank you, @robinkelly.house.gov, and may all @housedemocrats.bsky.social support the impeachment.

“I’ve had hotel staff sending post-it notes, bar staff sending DHS IDs, and loads of people saying their neighbour is an agent,” Skinner said.

And I’m gonna "like" this post every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #Justice4theVictims_NOW
