reading is awesome

Nearly 90 acres is back under the control of the band, whose 47,000-acre reservation hugs the Lake Superior shoreline near the border of Ontario. It is considered the tribe’s largest land return in recent history, tribal leaders say.

Whenever people ask me if I'm a gifted artist.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

Ooo I love that Storygraph does this monthly summary. I do enjoy it's design and features more than Goodreads. Planning to keep both apps for the time being. #books #reading

Adobe doesn’t give a fuck about this choice fucking over indie people and boutique studios, they knew full well it was going to fuck over indie people and boutique studios and pulled the trigger secure with the knowledge that they Did Not Care About The Consequences For That Clientele.

This is why so many tools and programs and pieces of hardware and even analogue art supplies known for being First in Their Class tank when they start trying to make a cheaper product for a broader, less specific consumer rather than just continue making the quality thing they’re known for.

They don’t care if the niche community that needs the product gets left out in the cold because the goal isn’t to provide them with the tool they need, it’s to convince a lot of other people outside that community that they need it and then cut and run when the numbers stop going up

Another Strike Day to try and push us towards a better tomorrow. Here's a fundraiser to promote/donate to as you're able! Gonna post a few in this thread. ❤️ gofund.me/95c3d76da #iceout #minnesota #wewillwin #gofundme #donate

In his most direct protest song in a long career of activism, Bruce Springsteen is singing about the ICE occupation in an incendiary new tune “Streets of Minneapolis."

The judge ruled Monday that any removal or transfer of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, is on hold while a court case proceeds. They are currently at a family detention facility in Dilley, Texas, near San Antonio.

Zach, come to MN and we'll make you our signature marchin' fuel: baileys irish cream, hot cocoa and whip cream w/caramel drizz on top.

Friends. I recommend unplugging when you feel safe to breathe. Put your phone down. Slow your heart rate. This is too much.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

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
