I instinctively brace myself every time I do an outbound call for work and the guy on the other end goes "oh I see you're calling from Minneapolis, huh?" Fortunately none of them have ever gone further than that.

I feel like I've aged a decade in the past 3 months. I now live day with the quiet rage of a cantankerous old man.

People really need to understand that federal foot soldiers are now just surrounding cars with their guns drawn and either breaking the windows out of the car or just dragging observers out of them while claiming they are committing crimes and then bear or attempting to detain anyone filming.

I'm convinced that the key difference between our current political parties is that while both are fundamentally conservative and fueled by capitalism, one of them sees the constitution as the liberating document that it is, and the other just sees it as an obstacle.

IDK man I'm not gonna discourse post, but the single throughline carrying me through this ice shit is that this probably isn't a moment for us regular white dudes to be centering our voices, and if someone says my behavior makes them feel unsafe I'm gonna defer to that instead of argue with them.

The terrible ordeal of expecting yourself to be instantly very good at something you don't have a lot of practice with and then realizing you have to grind your way upward to competence just like everyone else.

It's amazing how radically less stressed out I am after vitamin d and some food

Welcome home, Liam!

THIRTY FOUR THOUSAND

Put me in the screencap!

The fact that the chief of police in St. Peter literally pulled up on federal troops who had their guns drawn on legal observers should be sung as a sign of true resistance to this, and what has to be done in major metro nationwide 

Drew this for a work post but it can go here too !

"Distraction" also implies that we SHOULDN'T be paying attention to awful things going on - that there are things occurring that we're remiss for paying attention to. Like, actually, we can (and SHOULD) care about multiple things at once. We aren't being "distracted" we're being "bombarded."

✨ART IS INHERENTLY POLITICAL. HOPE THIS HELPS! ✨

Fuck man. Last night my writing concept got torn to shreds by our class advisor. I just get off the phone with a customer who spent 30 minutes talking down to me and being a fucking dick. ... and now Catherine O'Hara?? Can I just get a do-over of the past 24 hours?

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

I think Disney should treat the muppets like marvel does the X-Men, just give cool creatives cart Blanche to pick like 5-7 of their faves and build a show around them

Pun combo found on Reddit

I have been laughing at this for a solid five minutes.

the sluts WILL save us.

these models so perfectly encapsulate what sucks so much about generative AI to most people after years of work and billions of dollars, this thing can kind of generate a knock off of a thing we've had for almost a decade what it can't do is create something that feels as new as BotW did in 2017

Update on my mom: She has now witnessed her first attempted ICE Raid in person (at the laundromat, no less) and she's taking observer training tonight. She also had a long and thoughtful conversation with a nurse who didn't want to "take a side" and is reasonably convinced she changed her mind.

I am obsessed with this

The guy was asking for a Culver's concrete mixer, and she was about to give him the flavor of the day.

I'm so happy to be in a writing class/group right now. Workshopping my logline and realizing the core of my story is about a guy who's willing to die to protect werewolves because they're easy scapegoats for harm he knows they aren't actually causing like HMM WHY IS THIS MEANINGFUL TO ME I WONDER

i only post things no one asked for but me from now on

I haven't even gotten to recommending DAWs or plugins yet and I think I just typed the most important part of this So You Want To Be A Musician piece.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all. Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

we are witnessing historic backpedaling here

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

Had to turn off mobile data on my phone and just use wifi because of how slow and unresponsive it was becoming. Surely not any kind of ominous sign or anything. /S

Who needs slippers when you have a pair of these bad boys.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

My mom on the phone just now: "Something about Renee Good just broke me. If that makes me a radical now then fuck it I guess I'm a radical leftist."

Fuck ICE, Fuck Trump, Fuck Capitalism, Revolution Now.

Okay. Even my once-George-Bushing-loving/former-fiscal-conservative mom is posting anti-ICE stuff on facebook and is explaining to her boomer friends what gaslighting means... You guys I don't think the feds are winning this one.

Turns out "don't tread on me" has always just meant "tread on someone else"

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

"Guns are sacred when they're strapped to your waist, but magically become a death sentence when they're used as a post-hoc excuse by the government? Either the Second Amendment applies to everyone, or you never believed in it at all."

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.
