Mind the stones there. A centaur took out part of my stone wall in a hissy fit. Centaurs, what can you do, hmm?

Come all ye theatre kids.
Time to put a show on in the barn—to fight fascism! 💪
I'm convinced that a coalition of pta room parents, aging punks, makers, tumblr freaks, tabletop gamers, romance writers and spn shitposters could probably successfully invade europe (we won't! Sorry Europe, we're real fucked up now! Working on it!)
I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again & again & again, two of the absolutely most important, practical, & transformative things I’ve done in terms of community building & activism are joining a long-running DnD table & reading romance/participating in Romancelandia

Like everyone else, there's so much more we'd rather be doing, but anyone who has any kind of platform has a duty to raise their voice.

Horror has always been political, and horror always rises to meet the moment. Now is no different. We are no different.

We love you 🖤

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...

Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

For centuries, American Men have convinced each other - through culture & conditioning - that violence is power.

When in reality: violence is loss of control.

99% of people only commit violence when they lose control of their emotions.

Violence does NOT DISPLAY POWER - it only shows weakness.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

If you want to share your anger with Hakeem Jeffries over his failure to whip dems to vote 'no' on funding DHS (ICE), he has an email portal specifically for people not in his district.

He got my best wishes AND warmest regards.

Care is an act of resistance. Engage as much as you can in direct forms of resistance now. But don’t discount the value and necessity of care.

The actions you take to provide care for your community are necessary for survival. Don’t think you’re “doing nothing” when providing care to people.

Alexander Hamilton, Federalist 28: When the federal government invades the rights of the people, they “can make use of” their state governments as “the instrument of redress.” Minnesota’s state government is the instrument. Use it.🧵
