Tonight is the first time in living in Powderhorn for basically half my life that I felt my house rattling from just basic jets overhead.

And now that I have felt it I am afraid I will never “unfeel” it. And, oh god, what if this is the only feeling my bad habits can’t momentarily erase?!

!! You did introduce me as “also cool,” which did feel cool!

Ha, yes! But I felt very flustered and last-minute rushed—and I both over-prepared and under-prepared, bc I over analyze everything—and so it is on my list of all the uncool things about myself.

I don’t even know why I bother to check my notes anymore

The really cool thing about my life right now is *checks notes*… yep, still nothing.

Hey, Antifa. I’ve been working on some preliminary sketches for our Minneapolis chapter t-shirts. What do you think?

This is a gentle reminder that your Minneapolis Antifa member fees are due. You can only get this t-shirt if you pay your dues! #ProudAntifa #AbolishIce

Oh no. Biddy Bedelia Donut Clover Priesmeyer jumped into my lap and… stepped directly into my hot coffee. Now she is scared to come near me even with prime treat persuasion.

I have always been obsessed with Samhain. And meeting the folks who put this on every year—making masks out of the forest floor—was like next-level May Day for me

mollypeonies @mollypeonies.bsky.social · 4d

Oh, thanks! I always do a haunted house sort of thing, but this year I decided to do a theme. I was inspired by a trip I took to Ireland with my mom last year, where I stumbled into a studio and met the creators of the Samhain festival they do there. www.samhainfestival.ie

A house lit up with red and blue spotlights, illuminating halloween decorations of creepy stuffed life size dummies in bunny masks and glowing eyes

Do you think Trump changed the name of the Department of Defense (DOD) to the Department of War (DOW) in an effort to emphasize the ways capitalism—and its agents and disease spreaders the stock market and the Dow—are they real purveyors of war?

You know a Mpls mayoral election is around the corner when the MPD/State Patrol helicopters are circling around South Mpls with their fascism birds & propeller megaphones screaming “crime is happening!”

When the real crime is all the ways cops make themselves both the perpetrators and the victims.

If my neighbors heard me or were woken up by this, I am guessing they weren’t surprised. It is perfectly normal and acceptable for anyone In These Times to scream “fuck youuuu!” into the darkness of the world at 2am.

Or at a bouncing ball that woke them up.

I got Biddy the Pittie Puppy one of those touch-activated “smart balls.”

Well, at like 2am that thing woke on its own, crashing around the kitchen.

I thought it was a giant mouse. I was so scared and pissed I opened the back door and loudly screamed “fuck youuuu!” as I lobbed it across the yard.

"Protect the press! Not the cops! Copaganda has to stop!”

"Protect our journalists! Don't let them stop! Keep them safe from every cop!"

Let's set up a donation to get 150 books and do this. I am serious.

This is actually a great idea. We should walk up with boxes of them to WCCO, KARE, FOX9, Star Tribune, MPR. With a bullhorn. Because Cops & Authoritarianism are coming after them, too.

"Protect our journalists! Keep them safe! Copaganda has no place!"
