DHS now terrorizing Charlotte NC
Hey Charlotte, NC -
It was a bit of a shock to us too. Hit up @danielbiss.bsky.social for a playbook if you need it. Some quick tips:
- whistles
- signal app
- we protect us - your neighbors and your community are your strength.
Stay safe out there. 💙

My costume is radicalized suburban mom. I'm sitting out on the front lawn with neighbors handing out hot cocoa to the adults and candy to the kids. I'll have my whistle and my Signal app and my head on swivel.

Reorganized my fridge to try to put things that expire quickly right in front of my face. To keep everyone on the same page I labeled things.
H/t to @vicmmic.bsky.social for opening my eyes so I could label this bin correctly.

I am confused as to why outdoor malls are so much more successful than indoor malls. At least in North US.
Like indoor malls are dying and we're all sitting here freezing our butts off at the mall for half the year going "this is so much better than the old mall!"
