I swear at some point I will do a thread of how awesome the Lego botanical sets are, but in the meantime, a new bouquet arrived in the mail. Here is a photo of the previous bouquet.
Things may still suck so here's a thread of Lego Botanicals I have put together over the past year.

I visited hotels all over Minneapolis, went into back rooms & talked to the staff.
They're afraid.
One told me she resents how her undocumented coworkers spend their days cleaning the rooms of agents who are “hunting down their family members.”

And there's no mistake that the the feds are going after Black journalists. Absolutely 0%.
The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, plus the New York Times story about using facial recognition to take away PreCheck and Global Entry from observers, reveals how closely linked these two missions are. There is no separating ICE’s twin missions of ethnic cleansing and ideological terror.

My 7yo daughter’s best friends’ family fled the country a few weeks ago. Today she came home with a drawing of her and another friend blowing whistles at ICE agents.
“We’re blowing the whistles and so ICE will go away and our friends can come back,” she said.
I started sobbing uncontrollably.

I like this thread a lot because it reminds me of the importance of giving hope to readers. To counterbalance the bad with the good and to counter dystopia with utopia. As Gandalf said, "Hope is a candle," and maybe we should light more candles into our stories.
There’s very little chance what I’m about to say will reach more than an audience of about a dozen people, but I think it’s worth shouting into the void that cautionary tales were never ALL we needed to radicalized us, sew seeds of change & prevent the social horrors that we now find ourselves in…

Thread about how cautionary tales are merely a social bandaid, and sometimes they’re a blueprint for bad behavior. About how we all desperately need ethical storytelling, hope-core, solarpunk, indigenous storytelling, and to continually reimagine reality as functional utopias. #WriterSky #BookSky 📚

Fact: During WWII their was a shortage of silk stockings and women used eye liner and eye pencils to create an illusion they were still wearing them by drawing the design on their legs. Makeup companies like Loreal even made a product called "liquid stockings" Anyway its a recession.
A viral trend wants you to use every last squeeze of lip gloss and swipe of eye shadow. The challenge is to reach the metal pan of powder makeup or to get every last drop out of bottles, jars and tubes before buying more.
Here’s how to do it safely:

Okay so unfortunately I’ve been removed from rapid response networks, at least in my immediate area. I think even alerting you of this would be deemed a violation of principles but given how much I’ve talked about it I do feel the need to say what’s up.
