Excited for Jarod K. Anderson's new fantasy book If his name doesn't sound familiar, he did Cryptonaturalist Podcast as well as wrote books of poetry & an autobiography titled, "Something in the Woods Loves You." If you're near cbus, stop in the Bookloft Tues evening to meet him for a book signing

Sometimes a dude just wants to be home listening to metal

My friend lives in this building and said it was truly terrifying. The whole building woke up to their building being broken into by federal agents all to grab some guy who’s posted about being anti facist.

Wow good thing Bovino was replaced with Obama-appointee Tom Homan.

Walked into work, thinking it's a day I'll finally get some extra work done & get ahead & Verifone down 🫠 At least it's not just a problem with our store but is a systems failure on Verifone's part

For the past 2 months, anyone else around Cbus get suspicious when seeing an SUV with tinted windows idling? So many times I walk nearby thinking, "We got a problem here? You scoping ppl to kidnap??" And then it's just a mom or dad with their child inside

The rage I feel when reading this could power a city.

Keep your eyes open for this book. Will be released 2/10. Very important subject for those who really want to start implementing techniques of transformative justice & build community instead of just automatically resorting to calling-out & canceling ppl who make mistakes

WHAT DID I SAY, CHUCK????

I'm going to yell at anyone who thinks ICE having body cams is a good thing. I'll yell out of love but I'll yell nonetheless

Thinking I need to rewatch "Eyes Wide Shut" to see what Kubrick was telling ppl just before he died

Went to Candlemas service today & was reminded Catholicism is the original of goth

Springfield (eating the dogs / cats) Ohio desperately needs your help with ICE. Ohio Gov Mike DeWine said it will be “the next Minneapolis” as 15,000 Haitians (1/4th of the entire city) will have their TPS status prematurely revoked Weds Feb 4th. Here are links to donate and volunteer directly: 1/

Funny that Amazon isn't going to run our indie bookstore out of business but it will be publishers charging $22 for a thin paparback that will

Shout out to the community members who called-in the owner of Stauf's Coffee to clarify his statement. I appreciate the implementation of transformative justice

The Groundhog awoke the morning of February 2nd 2026 and opened his social media to a newsfeed rife with stories of the debauchery of the Ruling Class and man’s inhumanity toward man.(1/3)

I listened to the attached song for about an hour last night

Bluesky has so many people who will walk up to a group of laughing strangers and say "I don't want to have fun or laugh with you" and just stand there and get mad when the group doesn't stop talking and joking around.

The Beatitudes hit different coming from a guy with a black eye, gotta be honest.

If someone calls themself an abolitionist but immediately reacts to a questionable situation with desires & actions to cancel resorting to vengeful tactics... maybe they're an abolitionist but I don't know how abolitionism can work without trying to utilize tools of transformative justice

Feeling slight panic because the time is only 5:19 pm & I'm already out of salty snacks

For ppl who who try to pass along info about 🧊 activity, thank you for trying to help others Very important tho - please use the SALUTE method & don't share non-validated info. That can create panic & misdirect & exhaust resources Also, please get contact info to local 🧊 watch groups in your area

Most of the businesses I give my business to don't even need to make an anti-ICE statement brcause I wouldn't be supporting them if I didn't already know they oppose oppression by the state.

I read Mark's statement from Stauf's as an awkward, unlcear way of saying ICE wasn't welcomed. He said peaceful people are welcome, which implies ICE isn't welcome. Yes, he should be pushed on for clarification & he should have had someone proof read it before sending

Was the chemical Ilhan Omar was sprayed with ever identified?

said it yesterday, but for all the pissing and moaning about leftist “purity tests” liberals do, the only ones getting in the way of democrats ever winning is the democratic party themselves. you’d think that’d start to sink in by now.

So dems are trying to throw the midterms?

Small crew arrived 6am to start digging us out. If enough staff can make it in safely, we'll open. Still a level 2 out there so be careful.

The underlying question one must ask oneself when participating in so - called "harm reduction" voting is - Who / what ppl am I willing to sacrifice so that another group can have rights that everyone should already have?

I think this almost daily. Not on a "back in my day" sense but I wholeheartedly believe the mind needs a rest from intentionally seeking. It needs the space for openness, fluidity, spontaneous play, relaxation (in the senses or "awareness" in general)

Level 3 snow emergency in Franklin County

A little over 8 inches by 10am in my neck of the woods. Also have the squirrels' charcuterie board put together, just need to think where the best area to place it will be. They know I throw unsalted peanuts to them from my porch & they come for bird seed, but I haven't even seen them out yet.

Due to the snowpocalypse, we will be closed today. Our sincerest apologies to the inevitable young white dude who'd show up wearing only shorts & a hoodie

Michael Parenti died. Damn Thank you & rest in peace

Remember, the U.S regime supported & funded the murder of Hind Rami Iyad Rajab, who was shot 355 times by IOF. To think they'll have any more compassion for any of us or our children is a lie (Yeah, if you're still thick about it, I also mean the corporate dems, not just the republicans)

none of the details matter ice shouldn’t be there and if they weren’t no one would be getting murdered in the street in the middle of the fucking day

Let's reconsider the dependence on "hard work" as an argument. It neglects the classism involved in border imperialism, how "hard work" is defined & upholds ableist notions that, if one can't do "hard work," then they're not as deserving of protections & the comforts that aren't available in poverty

This tiktoker (Michael Unmuted) was livestreaming from Minneapolis & asking for ppl to donate to his venmo. I asked a couple times if he donated the money to local mutual aid & there muted me Be careful of these opportunists who use crisis to profit.

When ppl say mutual aid is only for getting by in tough times, when ppl can't rely on govt agencies for help, they're revealing they don't understand what mutual aid is.

This point really needs to be stressed. Jeffries deliberately leaked to the press that he wasn't whipping votes against ICE funding. The Democratic Party position is that this bill should go through, it's not just the view of the 7 people who voted yes.

Politicians are giving you no reason to believe that they will stop government agents murdering people. It has to be us.

Fuck this guy. Fuck every worthless cowardly democrat who hasn't lifted a finger to oppose what's happening. They can all (& will) rot in hell

He describes the prevalence of fascistic ideology in yoga & wellness. Towards the end (which I've clipped here), he addresses the signs of a healthy alt health guide / teacher. I was pretty happy to notice I've been on that side w qigong teaching since day one, so I stitched some clips about it

Yes

One of the things I like about storms is the comradery here as we share our wonder & concerns

Cooked a big pot of soup & bought some fresh baked bread (I don't know how to make bread 🤷) for the upcoming storm of the century. May pick up a few more items on my way home from work tomorrow but I'm good to go
