After listening to a composer discuss how ai is transforming & destroying his industry, I was driven to create this piece. Embroidered on my hand-controlled #chainstitchembroidery machine w my interpretation of a famous woodcut of a Luddite destroying a jacquard loom.

MNDoT is going to regret not letting us name a plow "Abolish ICE" from here on out, that's the moderate snowplow name. We have moved on to "Fuck ICE."

I saw countless electeds standing with our neighbors to patrol our streets, help with mutual aid drives and protest the brutality of our federal government. Jacob Frey was busy on a press tour, just planning his next political move. Thanks for nothing.
They thought they could break us, but a love for our neighbors and a resolve to endure can outlast an occupation. These patriots of Minneapolis are showing that it’s not just about resistance — standing with our neighbors is deeply American.

Here’s my personal mental health guidelines
-organize chats into folders
-keep EVERY group on mute unless actively patrolling. you’re gonna check it every 10min anyway.
-Sleep normally, exercise every few days, eat 3x day, drink lots of water. Taking care of your body helps your brain a lot

Feel like you can really cook your brain if you spend all day in these Signal chats. Like it’s good to stay informed about what is happening but ICE is literally everywhere. You can easily become the protagonist in a Darren Aronofsky film who goes crazy, if you’re not careful.

What a deeply tragic story.

If they said 3,000 agents were leaving MN today, I would not fully rejoice. Because those 3,000 would be headed elsewhere.
I don’t want them kidnapping ANYONE. I don’t want them breaking up ANY families.
I don’t want those 700 headed off to destroy other families!
