If I was an assigning editor at a national publication, I’d be tripping over myself to get someone to write a feature on what these kids are doing.

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

Mercado Central, a cooperative of small Central American businesses in Minneapolis, is still raising money to try to save itself from closure. It’s an institution and makes this community much richer. www.gofundme.com/f/help-save-...

A thing I find fascinating about both gender and sexuality is that they're both so deeply innate and so deeply socially constructed.

Aromantic rant of the day: While "[x] is a social construct" has lost a lot of meaning and often gets misunderstood by people who don't understand that "social construct" doesn't mean "not real" (money and laws are also social constructs)... Romance is a social construct.

Tis the season for Hooded Merganser males to display as many head shapes as possible #birds

Genuinely WTF is up with "women's" clothing sizing - it's so bizarre.

Maya Kern's skirts are so cute and comfortable - I highly recommend them! Here's a pic of me wearing one of my favorites earlier today:

There's also some important history here. More centralized orgs of the '60s and '70s were crushed (proving especially vulnerable to decapitation strikes), bribed or became abusive cults. So, yeah, people pursued other strategies. Of course they did.

let’s come through for bree 💕💕💕💕

I think a lot about all the good people have been able to do in America in spite of the country itself. It’s always been an uphill battle. Justice tends to be. Freedom fighters knew that There’s power in that. It’s a large part of why fascists are engaging in a violent overcorrection. They’re shook

As someone from Connecticut, I approve this message.

Close friend of a close friend; can vouch.

Hattie Mae came today and some of our young guests caught a bunch of grasshoppers for her. 🥹

The Affrilachian movement's been going strong since the '90s debunking this bs and revealing the realities of the many Black communities in this region: firestorm.coop/products/224...

Sigh. Y'all, the trope of Appalachia as a "pure" (Anglo-Saxon or Scots-Irish) white region is racist propaganda from the early 20th century, meant to crush multiracial and multiethnic resistance in a highly exploited area. Don't buy into it. The fash are wrong about here as they are everywhere else

I read this book a while ago, and I also highly recommend it!

I have read this book and I also highly recommend it!

“Common loons gather in groups using any means necessary to protect their community and habitat from encroaching ice.” 🔥🧊 Made this painting in honor of Minnesota and have raised almost $2000 for mutual aid groups so far! feralcatbox.com/store read the description to see how to participate.

a neighbor set up this werewolf for halloween and instead of taking it down they just update it with seasonal outfit changes. now it’s dressed for valentine’s day and holding a sign with a picture of bad bunny and his super bowl slogan. i love him.

Anyone ordering anti-ICE #stickers from a heavily targeted city— now #Portland, #Minneapolis, Chicago, DC, etc.— I'll throw in extra ICE GO HOME stickers to help, because fuck these chuds. nobodyssweetheart.bigcartel.com

The more I see of everything, the more anarchist I become: because centralized, hierarchical systems keep committing the most horrific atrocities imaginable, while regular people, often in decentralized networks, keep engaging in the most incredible acts of community defense and care.

Libraries are fucking AWESOME, you guys. Last night, my local library had a book bedazzling workshop, and I got to make @mskellymhayes.bsky.social's new book sparkly! ✨️

This is so true and important! If you're in the Boston area, I'll put a bunch of local mutual aid groups below. 🧵:

People who are like "the entire Left is doing it wrong, and I alone know better" just drive me up a wall. Why not follow and boost the kinds of work you want to see instead?

It constantly makes me SO ANGRY that regular people have to work their asses off fundraising to cover immigrant families' rent, while Walz could put an eviction moratorium in place but just chooses not to.

This is exactly the kind of organizing we need more of around the US (and the world):

If you're in Minneapolis, you can buy my jewelry at James Irving Hair Salon to support emergency rent funds and other mutual aid! 💖✨️

Every day I meet a new best friend, and today's is Jackson, who is so soft and fluffy and a total lovebug. 💖

we need all hands on deck here. pls share with people you know; let them know that the genocide is not over and that the “Board of Peace” is an intensification of colonialism thru other means since will never defeat the resistance

What would life be like if you moved to a city where plants carry magic like cables carry electricity in our world? What does a queer Arab fantasy world feel like? We’re making a solo-journaling TTRPG set in that world for zine month🐸 sliding scale PDF available! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sof...

today i learned: the heat in my car runs warm then cold. i can’t afford to fix it. please keep sharing. mutual aid is all i have.

'Island Lake, California' - an aerial embroidery commission from last September I haven't shared yet! The right hand side was a nightmare at times, very busy with textures and elements and odd shapes. I hope it came out effective though? I don't have much experience in rocky landscapes :)

Today, for the first time in my life, I ate a loveseat made out of a croissant!! It also had strawberry cream and brownie inside, and it was SO good. 🍓

the existence of gargoyles implies the existence of garjewles

Apparently there’s grocery inflation discourse again, but as I’ve been buying groceries for other families during this crisis, often under duress, it’s brought me out of my own optimized grocery spending habits, which rely heavily on Costco. And damn, there is a huge price to pay for being poor.

Just cloned Stand With Minnesota for another state. I am so excited someone finally took me up on the offer. I even made them a little logo and redid the site in their colors.

to everyone whose nervous systems are absolutely shot from the reality of living in mpls the last few months: try to get outside today. soak the sun, listen to birds, talk to your neighbors, feel the wind. healing starts with you. when you're ready, extend out. remember to love yourself. breathe!

If you havent checked out my new collection yet please do! I'm still trying to make enough for rent and bills this month + last; every sale helps. If you can't purchase please boost to give me more visibility! → cvkvlv.com Goal for January/February: $1767/$6000 Mvto! (Thank you!) #Beadwork

Living in huge amounts of consumer debt is literal survival for many people but also is completely relied on by the capitalist class for their system to work at all.

It is always worthwhile to fight injustice, whatever the odds of victory. When we stand up for each other, we are asserting a positive vision of what it means to be a human being, protecting each other and ourselves from the despair and cynicism our enemies seek to normalize. crimethinc.com/wefight

we also have this display of jewelry by @tutusntinyhats.bsky.social at the salon for mutual aid! ❤️‍🔥 i'll give these a little time on the in-person display, and in a week or so i'll start listing some online. however, if there's one you'd like me to set aside for you, feel free to get in touch!

these beautiful whistles were 3D-printed by my friend @amanjo.bsky.social and generously donated to raise mutual aid funds for rent relief in the twin cities! we can either ship them or pick up at @jamesirvinghair.bsky.social! 💓💓💓 find them here: buymeacoffee.com/allisonanne/...

Cats. Universal helpets.

A cozy cottage on a frosty day ❄️ For #FebruaryFrost26 Week3 (Crocus & frost) I wanted to include some trees with hoar frost in my painting because it’s one of my absolute favourite things about winter 🤍 #art #illustration #gouachepainting #artchallenge

Every day I meet a new best friend, and today's is Jackson, who is so soft and fluffy and a total lovebug. 💖

Looked through my pics again, and I do have a few of Odysseus and Homer!

Found myself appreciating a coffee stop called BREWED AWAKENING yesterday, but that’s got nothing on this one 👇🏻

The real secret to the "Mediterranean diet" is eating equal qualities of pasta and antipasto so that they annihilate one another
