“A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” — John Stuart Mill

Trying to get as many blanks done as possible. I’ll be teaching in Wahpeton, ND this June, and I have a vendor table at Snow Daze (St. Cloud, MN) this April. Lots of new designs. If you’re interested in carving and woodworking opportunities in the Midwest, check out www.carvinghub.org #woodwork

Thought this was a @gailsimone.bsky.social post, it’s that good and horrific (in the best way).

When I grew up wishing for a Fallout show I should’ve wished for a good one.

Having to put up with each other is what every joyless miserable unwashed asshole in this administration deserves.

DHS must be disbanded for us to survive.

@mostlybree.kitrocha.com new cursed nipple god just dropped.

I'm honored to be this Month's spotlight artist at @ixarts.bsky.social I appreciate the community's support ❤️ ixgallery.com/exhibitions/...

I assume at this point we've discovered a secret pizza shop under the White House?

Currently at #2.

Man who instinctively goes fetal at voices above 60 decibels won’t be intimidated. /s

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

People are learning the power of Romancelandia, so here are 10 copies of Deal with the Devil by @kitrocha.com. @mostlybree.kitrocha.com posted about librarian super soldiers building a community and kicking ass, I was sold and the rest is history. Links in the next posts for US Kindle redemption.

Yes!

Set up a leftist pop-up supply depot at work this morning.

Elected Dems afraid to oppose the most unpopular thing in America since New Coke.

They kidnapped a 5 year old today, Amy.

The Golden Dome. They are going rename NATO in any communication to this festering nutsack and not change anything else and it's going to work because Trump is dumber than a bag of used cat hair.

What a galling year to have to file federal taxes.

Real feel is -22F and I wish every ICE agent in MN a happy Freeze Your Balls Off today.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

No arrests, no prosecutions, no guns, not even a sad shriveled bag of oregano to pretend ICE are anything but thugs and criminals sent to terrorize others. The Trump administration has fundamentally misunderstood the lie white people need to allow others to be hurt.

Security folklore of the morning is that no one should share URLs on Signal because it exposes IP addresses and people should use QR codes instead. Please don’t do this! QR codes are much less secure. If you’re concerned about link security, turn off link previews which you can do in Signal settings

I can only assume that due to a typo Ted scheduled this for January 13th of 2025 instead of 2015.

Listening to well off white people justify police violence while they wait for their food and they’ve ordered the blandest shit on the menu of course.

Great information in this thread.

Sounds like the rank and file aren't listening to Chuck or Hakeem any more.

As promised, we are back with a second wishlist for our friends in Minneapolis! This time @naomikritzer.bsky.social is helping out by being our local contact who will receive all the goodies you send! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... As always, you can avoid the 'zon at our GFM!

Saw someone post an opinion I disagreed with so I immediately gathered the facts that supported MY opinion and kept them to myself.

Imagine wanting this kind of pundit-brained nonsense in a Governor.

If an old man afraid of cognitive decline and death can destroy the U.S. so easily then we were a country of vibes not laws and there's no reason not to burn it down for something better.

I forgot how wild the opening to Scrooged is.

Heads up Twin Cities, the roads and sidewalks are terrible right now! Be careful out there

*spooky man in chains*: Tonight you will be visited by 3 spirits. Derek Guy, Isaac Chotiner, and Christopher Anderson. Me, scheduling charity work and calling my tailor: No need, changing my ways. *ghost*: But don't you want to know Me: Absolutely the fuck not.

Ani is amazing and I'm so excited to read their stories!

How fucking fragile do you have to be that a font threatens you?

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management. remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

@mostlybree.kitrocha.com what if this is it!

Years, YEARS the conspiracy folks spent trying to decode and decrypt hidden messages and instead it's all just Hello my racist friend, looking forward to more sex criming next time we meet to hunt people for sport! Sent from iPad

The au-fucking-dacity to get constantly pantsed by the dumbest assholes alive then pretend surprise. I'm sure those donation emails will be full of WE MUST FIGHT nonsense though!

Went to @twincitiescon.bsky.social and met the amazing @delilahsdawson.bsky.social, my Thor & Loki book now has a hand drawn alligator Loki!

Watching Frankenstein and I’m starting to think this doctor may not be on the up and up.

Find me, Timothy Zahn and @delilahsdawson.bsky.social at Twin Cities Con this weekend in Minneapolis! We're all in one two-by-two block of booths — Tim and I are 855 and 857, and Delilah is immediately behind me in 756. Drop by and see all of us! #starwars #twincitiescon #batman #startrek

Has anyone checked in with the Republicans in Chuck Schumer’s head?

If you're a Democratic pundit, policy maker, or think tank I need you to eat a big bag of shut the fuck up forever on sacrificing trans people to win.
