ICE must be destroyed.

Tired, gay, and covered in cat hair. Neurodivergent AF. Possibly five possums in a sundress. She/they.

Nerdy about: music (cello/bass/keys), bikes, snakes, Macs, and the special interest du jour.

Twin Cities (the boring one), MN.

Big giraffe!!!

Sculpted from paper mache, painted with acrylics. You can find it and various friends at shop.crumplings.co.uk :)
A large paper mache sculpture depicting a giraffe living in a snailshell. The giraffe-snail is looking at the camera, and its colouring is a mix of greens, purples, yellows and browns. The shell has a speckled appearance, and the sculpture has a slight sheen. It's standing on mulberry paper next to decorative dried plants. A closeup of a paper mache giraffe face with black glass eyes.

Mostly inefficiently cruising the Twin Cities.
An ADS-B Exchange screenshot showing the State Patrol helicopter's path over the Twin Cities this evening. It left Holman Field and buzzed Roseville, then headed west and turned around near Wayzata/Plymouth, headed up to 694 north of Maplewood and did a little spinny there, then headed back to Golden Valley and is doing donuts over the highway interchanges there.

How Trump's withdrawal from Minneapolis is being covered abroad.

In Le Monde, the lead French daily, the homepage article starts with:

"Two people dead, thousands arrested, two cities shaken, and Donald Trump defeated."

www.lemonde.fr/internationa...
"Deux morts, des milliers de personnes arrêtées, deux villes ébranlées et Donald Trump défait. Ainsi s’achève l’opération anti-immigration « Metro surge », conduite par l’Etat fédéral dans les « twin cities », les villes jumelles de Minneapolis et Saint Paul, depuis début décembre. Tom Homan, le « tsar des frontières » de la Maison Blanche, a annoncé jeudi 12 février le retrait prochain des troupes de l’ICE (Immigration and customs enforcement, la police de l’immigration) et de la CBP (Customs and border protection, l’équivalent des douanes)."

Please inquire with me”

When your charisma casters decide to seduce a dragon.

#dragon
4 panel comic. 1st panel disembodied voice asks "Why are bards always the ones to seduce dragons? Aren't paladins just as charismatic?" Bard replies, pointing to the paladin "oh he did it too." Paladin clad in armor raises one finger "Once." 2nd panel "The bard after seducing a dragon" depicting bard shyly sneaking away from a sleeping dragon, having left a small love letter on their cushion. 3rd panel "The paladin after seducing a dragon:" Paladin is feeding a gold dragon strawberries from a breakfast spread he's set on his shield, wearing only his helmet (the helmet stays on) and chainmail boxers, happily kicking his feetsies. "o for the wedding venue I was thinking about the beach and -" 4th panel, paladin proudly "The kids are almost flying already!". Bard gives him a thumbs up "I'm happy for you!"

Ending this operation is not enough.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

ICE is really stepping up their activities out here in rural Minnesota today. I pray that someday my neighbors will be able to leave their homes again.

A gorgeous sugar pewter ball python is in a hide. His head is looking out the front door, but also his entire chonky butt has lifted up one side of the hide and is very visible.

Ominous bird valentines.
A collection of six ominous bird valentines set against a background of pink hearts. In the first one, a Canada Goose looks angry and hisses and the text says "Baby, I'll make you fall head over heels if you approach within 10m of my nest." In the second, an American white pelican opens its mouth to eat the reader and the text says "There are plenty of fish in the sea, but I want this one." In the third valentine, a Black Vulture looks suspiciously at the reader and the text says "I will love you until you die. And after that, I'll love you even more." A Southern Cassowary stands proudly against the heart-covered background. The text says "My wattles are red. My head is blue. My deadly reputation has been somewhat overblown, but I'd kill for you." In the fifth valentine, a Northern Giant-Petrel stands open-billed next to a large brown furry object, and the text says "Let's seal the deal by sharing a 3000 kg elephant seal carcass." In panel 6, a happy-looking Bearded Vulture holds a bone in its beak, and the text says "I love every part of you, especially your bones."

My pins are now available at i like you too (St. Paul) and soon will be at i like you (Minneapolis) for a donation to charity. They were inspired by the THIN ICE signs on the water hazards at the Snoopy golf course nearby IYKYK.
2.25" circular badge pins with a magenta diamond on a white field around the words "ICE OUT" in black text shown in a cool milk glass goblet near a business card for the shops called i like you and i like you too in Minnesota

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

"Oh," the emperor of the galaxy said, "what happened to that monkey world?"

"Our agents infiltrated them some eight thousand years ago."

"Have they taken over the world?"

"Not yet."

The emperor licked a paw and started washing his ears.

"I'll still count it as one of mine," he purred.
