A reminder that commissions open Saturday, 10am PT! If you have a vision for a space tea set or other item to enjoy in a moment of self care, now is the time ✨ FAQ: Amyraehill.com/commissions #sciart

I’ve worked as an election judge since 2020 and it is so rewarding. Some workplaces will also let you have paid time off to serve as a poll worker, so check into that!

One of the surreal things about where you live becoming news is seeing super familiar places in that context. I’ve stayed in that hotel. I got Crisp & Green across the street from it yesterday. And now I’ll always know it as the place where a nazi showed his pasty ass to protesters.

"I'm Not Mad at You"

Once again, stop giving a pass to the regime by assuming these agents are new and poorly trained. The default position should be that they are experienced, trained, and doing what they have been trained to do.

They are highly active in the community exurbs and near rural areas right now, PLEASE be vigilant

once again i am asking literally anyone in a position of power to do literally anything so that our neighbors stop getting fucking murdered in the street

Flashback to 2019 when I first met the legendary Martha Schouweiler as I delivered a lamb I picked up from @lintstorm.bsky.social to @otterrunkennel.bsky.social at Beargrease And oh yeah Chad hadn’t told Martha I was bringing it so she had some strange man show up to pawn off a lamb for her dogs

MN friends - My cousin and her husband run a cozy little knitting shop in Maple Grove. They closed today in solidarity with the statewide walkout & they're donating profits on Saturday to a local food bank. They're also collecting food all weekend. If you're nearby, stop in and show them some love!

There is marching.

The guerilla networks of mutual aid that have been organized for immigrant communities in rural MN over the past couple of weeks make me feel unbelievably patriotic. This is who we can be.

I'm having a nice time on the computer today

The Minneapolis AFL-CIO calling for a general strike is a big deal and we should treat it like a big deal. Also it's a good idea. LFG minneapolisunions.org/system/files...

I sent a scathing, but not inflammatory, email to my rep Tom Emmer's office regarding his despicable statements about Renee Good's murder and his team's response was to...block me on Facebook??? I barely use it and have never commented on his posts, so they had to intentionally seek me out.

Break the ice. We're not supposed to be here.

I saw ICE and highway patrol at a traffic stop together THIS MORNING. The "we" that keeps us safe will never include cops.

I don't know how many more times my heart can break for my beloved Minnesota. This is terrifying, but we can and must continue protecting each other. We keep each other safe.

this is really just the tip of the iceberg. if you are in minneapolis please continue to spread the word about Defend612.com ans the Monarcha line

NOW: Crowd continues to grow in Minneapolis at a vigil where a federal agent shot and killed Renee Good this morning. “SAY HER NAME!” “RENEE GOOD!”

I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

there is a reason why you are HEARING about the things that happen in this area. this community has a ton of organizers. they are oriented towards action. they stand up for their neighbors. and because of all of that, and because they are also mostly BIPOC and poor, they are targeted by pigs.

We don't have to live like this.

My roof is a cedar waxwing speakeasy

You can commission me ✌️ This is the kind of thing I do. You can share that post to help me, if you want 🙏

I tried it, and it's a nice combo of positive and negative space. I tried a new centerpiece design. Those four-facet chips always give me trouble. I'll have to do more of those. This center was complicated so it was slow. #ChipCarving #WoodCarving

This week’s #showmeyourknits prompt is knitter’s choice, so here’s my 2025 knitting year in review! 🧶 Let’s start with my favorite finished projects. Pattern and yarn details in the alt text for all photos. 🧵

EEEEXCELLENT WORK GENTLEMEN 🙂‍↕️

Since I just finished my last run of 2025, it’s time for my running year in review! 🧵 Let’s start with the biggest stat. This was by far my highest mileage year ever. Total miles: 2,300 (6.3 avg per run) #runsky #running

In case anyone's curious how this is going, so far I've only managed to have car trouble, get very sick, watch Heated Rivalry, and eat cinnamon rolls. (three Einaudi songs are coming along, though)

It is ‘finish a project’ time! Mosaic embroidery. Stitches one crossstitch at a time. Mostly my own design. It’s a colorful mess. #embroidery #art #colors #colorful #crossstitch #mosaic
