Gonna go cry in the shower for a bit.

Man shot by federal agents has died, police chief says www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Another person was shot (and likely killed) by ICE agents in Minneapolis. This is in the Eat Street area across from Glam Doll doughnuts. There are several videos circulating. They are v. disturbing, so consider before clicking through.

Using my corporate portal to make donations to local orgs that my company will match at 100%. Nice tip for remote folks whose companies have no local ties.

Today was not the day to get a text reminding me it's the first anniversary of my grandpa's death. I've got enough trauma to process at the moment, thanks.

I'm going to butlerian jihad so hard, I'll learn to use a fucking abacus at this point.

Sobs. Giant fucking sobs.

Amber alert plus nighttime flareup--this insomnia club meeting is open to all folks who can't sleep for good reasons. Anyone losing sleep because they kidnap people for money can eat shit.

They're not even playing democracy anymore.

I was told out-of-staters were checking in on folks. Mine weren't, though. I was told they maybe didn't know, because national media wasn't reporting it, and we needed to tell people. I did. And they still didn't check in.

Two community members stand on the street corner of Central Ave and 18th St, watching over a local business in 5° temps with a wind chill of -15°. They are patrolling the area, keeping an eye out for ICE activity, doing what they can to protect their immigrant neighbors.

Sending hugs to my fellow firstborn eldest daughters of immigrants in MN.

So fun hearing multiple helicopter fly-bys and they don't show up on the air traffic sites. #nempls

As a child-free dog person, I just have to say my heart is going out to all the parents and teachers here, social workers etc. taking care of kids. I can't imagine and you're all fucking incredible.

My car even knows what's up.

For ease of navigation and sharing, I have turned my little list into a website: standwithminnesota.org

Nurse just asked my permission for my doctor to use an AI scribe for note taking. Hell no.

This would be easily doable by journalists here in MSP. @startribune.com @sahanjournal.bsky.social @minnesotareformer.com @unicornriot.bsky.social

Sundays too scary

Pro tip for my social anxiety buds: The middle of the night is prime senator calling hours. Nobody’s staffing those phones at 2am! Your awkward voicemail will be one in a chorus of awkward voicemails a staffer listens to the next day

I don't need an expensive surveillance device to tell me how shitty my sleep is. I'm quite aware.

I miss sleep so fucking much.

Working remotely today has been wild. Not a single coworker has reached out about it. I'm a nervous wreck and can't think. I tried to tell a coworker and they shut the convo down so fast I felt like I got punched in the gut. Living in Minneapolis today is not easy, but empathy isn't a company goal.

First official insomnia club session of 2026 and it's pretty clear anxiety is also circling back after the holidays. Today's agenda includes: dealing with your new insurance coverage, neighbors being kidnapped off the streets, hostile government takeovers, rising hospitalizations, that shit coworker

Shut it the fuck down.

Hey you know what this year fucking sucked.

Does Jeopardy drug test contestants? Not asking for myself, seriously I would never pass the test.

"Hey, come party in this place where we just fired all the workers!" Gross.

Screaming crying throwing up with excitement!

Did not time the seltzer properly OPE.

Have the THC seltzer now or save it for when I get to the in law's place? I am down to my last one and need to get the timing perfect.

My dog is here to spread solstice tidings.

Holiday hopelessness is the vibe at tonight's insomnia club. It's a hard time of year for a lot of folks, but we're all being told to shut up and be merry.

This episode puts out a better anti-Trump message than anything The Democratic Party has over the last eight years. #MutantFam #TheLastDriveIn #Curtains

The murder mask has to be just crawling with germs. When was the last time someone cleaned that thing. #thelastdrivein

Major Weinstein vibes from this movie. #thelastdrivein

Brandenburg concerto in an 80s horror movie might be a first for me. #thelastdrivein

Gonna put a bolo tie on my snowman fuck yeah. #thelastdrivein

Snowsuit crotch shot slow pan. We are already going strong! #thelastdrivein

How to win friends and influence people? Easy. Be the neighbor with the snowblower.

Is there a setting somewhere I can tell all the ad services to NOT play ads from my employer? I know every mic in my house hears the name constantly as I work remotely, but I would love it if I wasn't subjected to the fucking jingle outside my work hours. Work /life balance and shit.

Needed a really strong nostalgia hit so I logged into Flickr.

I miss Momo sushi

Insomnia club pulled its first official all-nighter. Wish I could say the meeting was productive but it just turned into one of those meetings about meetings.

When you see this, post an image from your gallery to describe your mental health.

TFW your phone does one of those "Remember this day" nostalgia photo things but it's from when you were in the hospital.

Over 3,000 people have liked a comment I made on an Instagram reel. Am I an influencer yet? How do the paychecks work? How can I monetize my werdz and be a true creative? (Please note the sarcasm here.)

It's actually a great day to wallow in a deep existential crisis, why do you ask?
