For Alex. For Renee.

I’ve been here on the scene all morning. Right after recording the convoy you can see in the background of the video tear gassed me.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

I keep joining all the reading apps because reading books and perusing books is keeping me sane and off other socials. Storygraph link if you want to connect app.thestorygraph.com/profile/anna...

Good. Keep being loud everyone.

the president slowly physically decaying and manifesting what appears to be some kind of stigmata on his hand while becoming more insane and evil would be dismissed as a hacky writing device

✨just women doing women things✨ absolutely insane OT game winning goal. #PWHL

Minnesotans showed up & showed out today to help our Twin Cities neighbors in need, at our Northeast Minneapolis food drive this morning. Over 800+ community members reached out to help support with purchasing, sorting, organizing, and delivering groceries to ~125 families. My heart is so so full.

I keep thinking about the toxic, pervasive mythology of "rugged individualism" as a driving force in American culture, and how the collective efforts in the Twin Cities right now are proof that the only way through hard times is together, as a community.

how do I know if i'm in the wrong timeline

No one in MPLS feels safer with frozen water around, they are just making everyone freaked out and stressed. Leave us and our neighbors alone. Do something productive with your life.

somehow having to work today is an awful and welcome distraction. what the fuck man. fuck ice. get the fuck out

She inspired me!! 2026, time to become a Nac Mac Feegle. #theweefreemen

I read The Wee Free Men (Terry Pratchett) in two days and now I wish to be a Nac Mac Feegle. NAE KING. NAE QUIN. NAE LAIRD. NAE MASTER. #sketch #discworld #tiffanyaching

Doing the Goodreads thing finally. My reading goals for 2026 are set pretty low but hey it's something. www.goodreads.com/friend/i?fea...

Attacking a data center like it’s The Bastille, everyone fleeing with a bushels of RAM to desolder and resolder the chips. One peasant coded guy with a wheelbarrow of SFP+ modules. Manifesting this for 2026.

It’s only networking if it comes from the LinkedIn region of France, otherwise it’s just sparkling friendship

Happy Holidays, everyone! 🎄 I didn't have time to paint a new winter themed art, so here is the one from last year.

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

As winter settles across Minnesota, many Indigenous communities enter a season of storytelling. Listen at 9 a.m. on Tuesday to hear MPR News guest host Leah Lemm talk with two Native storytellers about the significance of storytelling in our lives, particularly during the darkest days of the year.

I know several pieces of recent news make the outlook of the future look bleak, but please remember two things: 1) you can only flush trillions down the toilet with nominal returns for so long 2) the future they claim to be rock-solid is still very much made of thin glass Keep making art.

Tech sells hype at this point. Eventually it fades. Looking forward to when genai gets added to this list.

May Minnesota weather never leave their bones May Minnesota nice haunt their dreams May Minnesota noise live on in their ears long after they are gone. Minnesota protects her people (all her people).

People born after 2000 will never understand the deathgrip Pirates of the Caribbean, LOTR, Phantom of the Opera, and 300 had on tween culture in the 2000s.

Starting a small Daggerheart campaign with larp pals. Stoked on the world we will be playing in. I'll be playing cat boy nobility 😆. #ttrpg #drawing #characterdesign

A reminder this holiday season and always

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

I'm making my coloring book FREE! Enter $0 in the pay what you want section! 🐉Get it here! tinyurl.com/47tdvs88 Prefer coloring on paper? Want to give this as a physical gift? Check your local library for FREE printing! Many libraries have a printing allowance for anyone with a library card!

The whiplash of Dawntrail's genre bashing must be embraced with a certain level of un-seriousness. What a rollercoaster. I -think- I like it?? I don't even know honestly. #ffxiv

One of these days, Capitalism will sustain its last wound. It will topple and die, and we will see it bleed out in the street, neither mourned nor missed. Every cut and needle's prick brings us closer to that day.

dark at nine, feeling fine dark at five, fuck my live

Happy International Animation Day. asifa.net/what-we-do/i... (🡇 from "The Animator's Survival Kit" by the late Richard Williams)

It’s Ursula Le Guin’s birthday. “You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.”

This also indicates the essential dishonesty of saying “it’s just a tool.” A hammer is a tool. Nobody writes about the “inevitability” of hammers. Nobody has ever studied the harmful effects of hammers on learning and concluded that teachers must all hit their students with hammers “responsibly.”

happy actual sweater-temperature day to everyone in the Twin Cities who celebrate

Kind of want to put this bit on a billboard somewhere (or, idk, replace every web ad everywhere with this text) bsky.app/profile/edzi...

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

Helm/mask piece hot off the printer. Ty @gfaught.bsky.social for helping me with this!! #larp #props #cosplay

Even with Anne’s rather specific description of her dragons, I found plenty of room for individual interpretation. These preliminary drawings show the evolution of my concept of the fantastic winged beasts. I studied crocodiles and bat wings, and wrote to Anne with many questions. 2/5

CVS is now scheduling for new Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines (no Novavax; nowhere else is scheduling yet). Get your vaccine while you can 💉

Design Exploration for Eyes of Wakanda. I very often designs clothes right on top of the incredible figure designs of Insta: @uzomadunkwu . The way he designs the human form is poetic mastery (please check out his work on his insta). #eyesofwakanda #blackpanther #marvelstudios
