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.

Reminding people again that this is a pro Nazi, pro Gestapo paper and you need to realize it's not much different than Twitter or Fox News. It's entertainment for fascists. Talking points for the soulless. Hard pill to swallow, I know. But. This guy wasn't "pushed". They broke his fucking ribs.
More than a week before federal agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, different agents pushed him to the ground after he spit at them and broke a taillight on their SUV, according to newly unearthed videos. Watch here.

It’s the same reason Twitter dipshits scream at women for not having kids if they’re 30. Doesn’t matter the circumstances or if the child will be loved you’ve just gotta get that achievement! You have to platinum life! Everyone is a little trophy to you!

Minnesotans don’t want ICE to abduct our neighbors a little differently.
We want all of it to stop. And we’ll keep doing everything we can to make that happen. If you’re outside of the state, you should too.

@taskforce.bsky.social mourns the loss of our friend, colleague, mentor and vaccine visionary, Dr. Alan Hinman, who passed away at the age of 88 on January 26. He spent more than 50 years working in public health, devoting his career to a vision of a world without vaccine-preventable diseases.

Definite uptick in Bluesky content aggregators taking legit clips regarding Minnesota from a few days or weeks ago and posting them without any sort of timestamp context, which gives the impression of them happening today, which then gets clicks. Be vigilant with what and how you share.

A NYT reporter wanted to speak to me about what's happening in Minneapolis and I told them unequivocally no due to the NYT's role in creating the environment that has done so much harm to trans youth.
It’s important to keep calling out the nyt for its years of bias and dishonesty on trans issues. It legitimized hate and handed Trump a potent campaign message in 24. He seized on that hate and is now wielding it against immigrants, women, ppl of color, queer ppl, disabled ppl, critics

Fuck all the way off with telling us how to fight fascism. The whistles serve as a warning signal to people in the area that may need to hide because fascists are in the area. This isn't some liberal cuck shit. This is like a siren going off because a tornado is in the area.

- New Yorkers love gay hockey

Chris's stuff was a gateway for me delving into indie RPG stuff. I highly recommend throwing money their way for some amazing games. Innovative solo stuff, pipes of great Mork Borg.

Hello. It's my final week as a full time game designer, and as if to underline why I can't do this anymore, I currently can't afford to cover my bills at the end of the month.
All of my work on itch is on sale. Tell your friends, buy something, thank you very much.

Restaurants in the Twin Cities have largely switched to pickup only to protect delivery workers, many undocumented because that is work people going through the asylum process can do, from being disappeared or having ICE use delivery orders as a trap.

Ilhan Omar has more courage in her little pinky than the entire Democratic Party leadership has. And the party has repeatedly thrown her to the wolves over the years because she speaks the truth.
And who was around her caring for her after this attack? BLACK WOMEN. So protect them all.
