Happy Winter Solstice! Some long exposure pics from a luminary walk at a Solstice festival last night, a path of total darkness lit only by candles guiding us to the light at the end. iO loved it of course bc it was like a haunted house. May the dark of night signal brighter times ahead for us all.

For a man that regrew his ear it’s strange that his hand is always in recovery mode

“Do you support ICE?” “Not really.” “Hell f*ckin’ nah.” These two dudes drink for free on us if we ever run into them in Minnesota 🍻

Trump is obsessed with the term "groceries," but does he even know what they are?

My ears are liking this thread.

This is the year of "Joy as Resistance" for a lot of folks... and what better way to do that than make music?!

While in Chicago, I took a tour around the Obama Presidential Center. I can’t wait for you all to visit in June 2026. Here’s a sneak peek:

Thank you Tish. This made me cry hopeful tears.

I created my first candy cane shiv of the holiday season. No one got hurt. Much.

I'm not going back to Twitter because I'm not online to "combat the right," I am here to get rid of intrusive thoughts and maybe make like six specific women laugh

Terrific story about Rob Reiner being as much of a mensch in real life as he seemed.

i need to believe in the person i’m lying to myself about becoming tomorrow morning

we deserve freedom we deserve joy we deserve life we deserve a government that doesn’t treat our existence as a negotiable policy position 🏳️‍⚧️ stay strong, friends 🏳️‍⚧️

Whoa whoa whoa. You're upsetting the delicate doll-to-pencil balance. Things were stable when it was 37 dolls to 37 pencils, but if it's gonna be 1 or 2 pencils to 2 or 3 dolls, dolls clearly have the advantage. Pencils will need a bailout by April, mark my words.

is this a good time to share a Santa I’ve kept imprisoned on my phone for YEARS so he can’t hurt anyone

It is newsworthy that the president of the United States is increasingly verbally abusive of women reporters and he should be asked about it.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Heartstrings 🥹💕

The thing about being an US born person of immigrant extraction who has also lived in a couple of other countries and traveled to a bunch more is... I can be both very clear eyed in the way the US sucks while also being aware of how other countries use the USA's failings to distract from their own.

My orange boy is perfect; he restores my soul Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of blue, I fear no evil, for orange is with me His hiss and his slorp, they comfort me He prepares a hairball before me in the presence of guests My cup runneth over. Please take your paw out of my cup

Honestly just using the word woke would be a red flag for me. What right Wingers call woke I call just being a decent person and that's wild

The dastardly woman has once again revealed her cruel desires to consider “making the world a better place” a worthwhile quality in a potential mate, does she even know how many SmurfCoins I own? Does she even know how much I’ve tanned my butthole?

I want ponderous moral parables delivered by OLD PEOPLE

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Collectors of private bribes, donations, gifts, girls, tax-payer funded hours of golf.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*

I cannot speak for their race, color, or creed or even who fucking raised them but goddamn. Barnyard heathens. Usless tools of capitalism wondering aimless like lobotomized zombies. Have you no soul? Is there nothing behind those eyes? Donate to the POOR Donate to the HUNGRY Fuck your wants.

After canceling plans I rallied went out had an awesome meaningful time Learning my lesson

Hmmm definitely Die Antwoord.

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

Shit St Paul ICE agent aims gun

Do no comply in advance

For like ten years now but nobody listened

Feds used Newell Park as a staging site, which is totally inappropriate.

Ice sighting in St Paul this morning.

In 2018, the Supreme Court in Carpenter v US ruled that cell site location data was too invasive to use without a warrant and now ALPR tech has reached that point. Being able to surveillance everyone's movements at any time with AI driven surveillance cameras is an affront to the right to privacy.

turns out a culture of complete elite impunity also bred a staggering degree of sexual depravity (not in the good way), and it sucks to see, actually

*Repugnant* is the perfect adjective for him. And I have my favorite noun for him; Parasite. He's a parasite on humanity. I've probably worn that sentence out, but I'm never going to think of him in any other way.

Oh, reporters covering President Piggy. Don’t be afraid of losing access by fighting back. If he bans the press, he gets no attention. Starve the beast.

Yo Tennessee, shit won't change until you vote for it.

Looking for what you can do to make you voice heard? This campaign is gaining traction. The enablers have to feel it. weaintbuyingit.com

Evangelicals only have moral standards for women and children, and protection and excuses for men.

Thugs. Boys playing what they think is work of Men. Not a one of them would win a chance to walk a child across the street, to fix a cup of soup for an elder, to help a youngster learn to spell or ride a bike... They are living some weird video game come to life.
