For anyone too young to remember what it was like before ACA… IT WAS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE.

All 3 Minneapolis educator unions have tentative contracts with Minneapolis Public Schools, likely averting strike.

Oh gosh, digging around in my old art I also found this gem. I kinda want to make her into a sticker. 😂

A lot of folks in the US will have a chance to see auroras tonight 🌌🔭 Clear skies! 🤞 (Too cloudy here in Ithaca 😭)

Even more aurora tonight except it's cloudy here but if your skies are clear where you are check it out! Should be reaching more southern latitudes even

She’s right. The government started putting gender on passports in 1972 out of concern that men and women were getting too hard to tell apart, what with all the hippies with long hair and feminists in pants and whatnot. Strike gender from IDs. Everywhere. It serves no purpose. @murray.senate.gov

I don't think a person should have a trillion dollars

This is a really weird way to describe a phone number cops can call to find kids to kidnap

I need some help spreading the word about an initiative from the White Snake Projects theidms.org - "White Snake Projects is taking a major step in decolonizing opera and returning control of Indigenous stories to Indigenous people... #operasky #opera #native #indigenous

This'll be great for Thanksgiving (I am in favor of not burning out our ATC friends, they do a hard stressful job in the best of times to keep us safe)

my favorite is the minerals by @fossillocator.bsky.social

The camera can pick some aurora up even with the moon so bright

Could be a spicy evening! Aurora forecast for 11/6/2025 showing possibility for active aurora. #Astronomy #NMWx 🔭 #nature #aurora

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Sun is doing its THING

Deadline is Sunday! Minnestar is a great organization!

Oh I love this book so much

1. You can't even get hot food on SNAP, much less use it for nails or "weave". It doesn't work like a credit card. Items that do not qualify do not ring up. 2. Let's call a spade a spade. That right there was not a dog whistle. It is old school pure uncut Reagan era racism. What he said was RACIST.

I don't say this flippantly. Just want to make sure people know there's a specifically American history and part of fighting this involves reckoning with that.

Anyway: it’s an American tradition. www.startribune.com/trump-admini...

One of my neighbors is on the board at Sabathani Community Center. She notes that in 2024, they distributed 814,534 pounds of food, supporting 8,480 households and 17,529 individuals and that today they serve about 85 clients a day. They've started a year-end fundraiser: www.givemn.org/story/09w9zf

RTO is making me cranky and very very tired it's not even my day in the office but I'm so wiped from the last two 😴

Gorgeous day out there 🍁🍂🍃

Duct taping my way to success

So an off season election is upon us, where all us Americans are voting on local issues that historically have very low turnout. Local elections are in some ways more important than national ones. One way to combat fascism is a thousand municipalities hitting them with bureaucratic nonsense.

hey i know things are hard but just remember YOU are charismatic megafauna

Whaaaaat the fuuuuuuck Viruses and cancer are more deeply connected than people thought, I'm guessing. Viral damage causing cervical cancer comes to mind immediately. Fighting viruses is fighting cancer.

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction. My friends, they have lost the flag.

Ugh torqued my back and now have shooting pains all down my leg this is great

having a kid who can drive means I can send them for takeout during MEA week 😂 (it was their idea)

No Kings includes Shaun King

this is incredible
