That show was amazing but it would have been better with Puerto Rican Americana hero Alynda Segarra aka HURRAY FOR THE RIFF RAFF

Seeing a discussion of this on FB (it broke containment!), I remembered that I took a quick video when I heard The Smiths’ Panic in a Kohl’s last month.

“Small government”

Yes, I’m buying groceries for multiple families now.

I was tailed for a while and then was cutoff by two dudes in a black SUV with no front plates and an illegible “dirty” back plate on the way home from work today. Status quo in St. Paul.

Imma need a source on this whole paragraph in an AP article (reported from South Dakota?) about how arrests are targeted and less aggressive, and that chats are more about sightings than detainments. Where’s this “data” coming from? Because I’m not seeing this.

MSP parents: Check on your kids’ teachers. THEY ARE NOT OKAY.

Anyone else feeling like the onslaught of think pieces is causing another layer of overwhelm? I’m living this, I can’t concentrate on what today’s out of town visitor to the memorials thinks rn.

Taking this energy into February

Nbd just another Friday afternoon

Just discovered that Jimmy’s right next to me so now I don’t have to film stuff myself!

Nice!

This is the way.

Promise?

Looking for link to Walz's upcoming press conference...anyone?

I stg our admin is purposefully trying to kill me by **still** not calling off for tomorrow.

Mayyyyybe I wept seeing some sweet little families dropping off all of the food and supplies at Bad Weather today. Drop some stuff and get a token for a free beer!

Okay, it’s 2 minutes 43 seconds and it’s so much worse than you can imagine.

Wait…is it true Camp Bar in St Paul is hosting Ben Bankas at the end of the month? The dude who has a whole 3 min about how Renee Good deserved to die up on his facebook page right now?!

hell yeah look at this positive masculinity

Watched kids leaving my school for a several-mile-long walk to the protest today in hoodies and track pants.

Morning, from Occupied Minneapolis. Going to keep shouting from the rooftops: 🗣️ THERE IS TOO MUCH BEING ASKED OF SCHOOL TEACHERS AND STAFF AND PARENTS AND NEIGHBORS PROVIDING SECURITY AND TRANSPORTATION FOR OUR PRECIOUS CHILDREN THIS IS NOT SUSTAINABLE

I’ve been looking for Ahmed’s GoFundMe since Friday, why haven’t I seen one?

One of the biggest obstacles in trying to organize against ICE here on the ground is a capitalism in which bosses would rather see their employees disappeared by the federal paramilitaries than change their business practices to keep them safe.

We sang some bangers at my choir reunion tonight and I cried through no fewer than 6 songs: On The Day We Are Together Again - Humbird Under Pressure - Queen/Bowie Engine To Turn - Tift Merritt Fighter - Joseph The Joke - Brandi Carlisle Rainbow - Kacey Musgraves

On today’s very special episode of Monday: acting like everything is fine when we saw what we saw this weekend.

This would normally be something I’d enjoy but I just cannot rn

Husband left for Cub 30 min ago and texted that he almost got hit by three Tahoes chasing a Jetta a block from our house.

This ad in my Reddit feed says I can experience the same risks in a country with a Level 4 travel advisory as I experience here in MN

School was absolutely fucking exhausting today. I repeated "just focus on the students in front of you" to myself about 400,000 times. And now that the day is over I pray that every single kid stays safe and that we see each other again tomorrow.

On repeat youtu.be/R2MW3xGUglA

A lot of educators in the twin cities are not going in today, and subs are few and far between. I feel like parents should know this before sending their kids to school today.

Just, you know, a bunch of Wednesday night texts with your co-workers, talking about stashing snacks and other supplies in the bathrooms because that would be the easiest place to hide with students in case of a raid. Super normal convos.

AI’s response to the bazillion articles I’ve written over the years:

I know it’s only been one day this week but I’m not unhappy to see this… 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Honestly don't even know where to turn at this point for actual journalism.

It’s because they stopped making their sugar-free red velvet cupcake two years ago and I had to stop going. Sorry, everyone.

Texas. (For real though, until they changed the design to be one solid color on the right, it really did look too much like Texas’s flag)

So frustrated by people who say they respect musicians/artists/writers but who also post AI slop. It’s plagiarism of the same creatives they claim to celebrate, and it’s gross.

Made the mistake of hopping on threads and first thing I saw was a bunch of people pearl-clutching over the origin of Joy Division’s name. I dunno, man, if you can’t handle that punks were mocking nazis, maybe you don’t deserve their music anyway.

Morning! #postyourtree

This museum display knows me

Noticed something on a French Quarter balcony today…

Happy @twindependent.bsky.social Day!

Just trying to watch the Survivor finale, here, people. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Everyone at school this week: Miss Renée, why are you wearing a mask? Me: ⬇️⬇️⬇️

My EV doesn’t even need me to turn it off, I just get out and walk away. So weird.
