Seems especially important right now to give these people $$ for dash cams
ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims.
Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...
If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!

I wrote a song this morning for the first time since August. It's called Marinara in Digitigrade, and is a kinda silly kinda spooky one about bad omens & using astrological-sounding terms speciously to describe the vague feeling of malaise that's settled over so much of my life

Finally getting into Orville Peck. Been aware his stuff is ostensibly up my alley for ages, guess I wasn't in the right space to meet it yet (this has been a pattern for how I discover musicians etc that become faves). When I finish Bronco should I pivot to earlier or more recent stuff?

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?
Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.
Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

"If you want to know who took all of your money, it's the people with all of the money."
I keep thinking about this post and how it's one of the best, most succinct messages Democrats could use in 2026 campaigns.

Poked myself in the eye with the leaves of a whole frozen pineapple I was attempting to smoke out of
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

Sometimes I casually mention some detail of my health stuff and people look at me like I've grown an extra head. Most recent example was my sister's incredulous, "My guy, you have a hernia??"
My response of "oh yeah it's been like that a year or two" was, apparently, not super reassuring.

This is it. "What do you think calling your electeds will do?"
Make them feel about me the same way everyone who's ever defaulted on student loans feels about their voicemail.

Ask not what your representative will do for you (nothing), ask how you can make your representative so miserable they quit their job
My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.
I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.
My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

And whilst the impeachment attempt may fail (and won’t be judged until congress returns) the reason you do it is because it’s the right thing to do and also to clearly and publicly decry Trump and his fascism. You do it to show there is resistance. You do it for your own conscience.
Impeach him now. Submit articles today. Sorry, there's nothing else to do and waiting is madness.
