we got a request today for help from some international students that kind of fall through the gaps of any available assistance programs want to help pay their rent? it’s only $1200 and I’d love to get it handled instead of leaving them hanging venmo: @ziibiing paypal: @StandWithMinnesota

Wow this punched me in all of my feelings. This is Powerful.

When I talk to relatives now, they say, "But it's getting better, right?" No, I say. "But it will be okay?" they ask. I tell them I don't know. I tell them I have no indication it will other than a vague reference to the curve of history.

I love* how careful normal Minnesotans are about correctly reporting locations and flavors of police and all of that, but blue check mark journalists cannot be bothered to get the information right, when they are stealing photos from local journalists without credit or alt text. *Haaaaaaaate

My Girl Scouts from East St Paul want to sell cookies this year! They plan on using the money earned to make care packages for those sheltering at home. This is going to be an incredibly difficult season. Please help our scrappy troop help others and go to camp this summer.

Dear rich fuckheads: Fuck your sky yacht, they're circling us with enough fucking aircraft.

Jennifer has already paid one rent! Enter for your chance to win an adorable pet portrait.

My sweetheart cat, Zatanna, has been dx’d with a poorly differentiated cancer that is going to need radiation therapy to treat. The problem? It’s $12000, which is effectively our entire savings. If you’re feeling generous, my venmo is bbwolfe. Please tag donations with a cute cat emoji! Thank you!!

I am almost certain that I just heard Roger moving around because there's a very specific sound his shell makes when it clonks against glass, but he hasn't done it again yet so I'm not 100%

THIS. For all his buddy bonhomie, or willingness to call out absurdity while campaigning as VP, I am not seeing partnership from Walz. It's a cuddlier version of patriarch, and frankly fuck that. I want some partnership from our government.

I needed this photo to pop up in my memories this morning. 😍

I don't understand why a curling team really needs to be more than two people, this feels so much more hectic than pairs

The individual who was being pursued by ICE suffered serious injuries in that collision, but they are alive. That person is currently in federal custody.

We're not talking enough about the legend that is @stpauligrrrl.bsky.social (but we've been a little distracted with stuff closer to home).

And monkeys could fly out of my butt

Don't try to go around a block to put my post in front of somebody or you'll get blocked too.

Alt text: two images showing the described scene. The first one shows a very smashed up dark red sedan that is half crushed in along the whole driver side. The second photo is pulled back more showing other vehicles that ICE caused a crash with, and all kinds of little pieces of debris on the street

TIL Scott Fitzgerald is still a thing and my eyes rolled so hard one got stuck in my ear

🌯 Big burrito update 🌯 With good feels & a way to keep paying it forward exponentially. You donate to feed unhoused folks & it's done by placing large orders with local immigrant-owned businesses, keeping people fed while keeping others afloat financially! It's truly beautiful!

It’s day 71 of the ICE occupation of MSP. City council members and PTAs and neighborhoods and businesses are running crowd-funding campaigns to pay rent for our neighbors. It’s February 10, and we’re going to need to do it all again in 18 days. We need an eviction moratorium now. And ICE OUT.

Fussy cutting, pushing some stuff around. Trying to make some art and be gentle on my body today.

Hey friends. I know most of us are tapped out right now but if anyone has extra funds for Carlos? This one is $1500 from being fully funded. Go Tommies.

I survived, bitch

Fuck I have to do the lawns to legumes orientation and I forgot and took a Larger Dose edible an hour ago

Happy to report that the bird bath I built last year has not fallen apart in any major way after such a hard freeze. I didn't take the cover off to look at it in depth, but some ice that accumulated in it has been gotten out, and the basin is intact.

I could really stand to raid a Borders dumpster for magazines right now

It's not out of line to assume Jacob is not pushing for any assistance or pushing the governor for an eviction moratorium at all because if all these folks become unhoused, he can ruin their lives the rest of the way himself, or funnel any recovery funding into his pet not for profits.

I didn't realize how badly I needed the sun to break through until it finally did. Not a metaphor.

Someday I hope I know what it's like to have a mayor who doesn't outwardly hate most of the people in this city.

The cool part about the finch app tricking me into doing planks every day is that it is tricking me into doing my physical therapy superman exercises for my back because I am fhr as well do *something* besides one plank after going through the whole rigmarole of getting down on the floor.

I don't listen to many of the bands in the Dark Was the Night compilation on their own anymore, but I'm glad it exists because it's such a specific snapshot

$1778/$2100 just $322 to go and this need is met — you all are so amazing ❤️‍🔥

when black/brown folks are evicted because they are in hiding and can't work & can't pay rent they end up in court. in this building. where ice is now operating. so...the state is feeding people to the feds via the courts because of landlords/the investor class?

ok pals, @reedeliot.bsky.social & i (in tandem with @jamesirvinghair.bsky.social) are barnraising for a family in minneapolis who needs urgent rent support. this family has three kids and has been sheltering for two months. Goal: $2100 V/PP: allisonannecollage V: jamesirving $: jamesirvinghair

does anyone with little to no connection to the twin cities and strong opinions about who is and is not in various sognal chats and what that means for the left have any apologies they'd like to make?

Thanks, everyone! You've got a few more weeks to participate! 😎

Next weekend the Dyani White Hawk show at the Walker closes.

Oh no! I just remembered the cat in the hat style hat trend and I'm mad all over again.
