Please share this!

I sent a version of these stories (before this was published today) to a non-Minnesota work network, w donation links, & asked people to share what’s happening

Just got an email from someone who sent it to her mom, who sent it to her church, where it‘s inspiring resistance plans

This week has been wild, but getting to see Neko Case live was a fucking highlight of years. I picked up a signed cd at her table and only found out (because what reading?) When I got home that the signature read - love niko.

She’s been loud as hell she was a serious victim. She hates the jokes. She was abused by the media. Admire her for staying a quiet figure. Admire her for not taking the right wing grift. (She’s a vocal Democrat.) Admire her for keeping her sanity.

An off thing about adhd is the stopping in the midst of a thing you love. But man, I finished @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social 's Annihilation this morning (finally) and it feels like my heart is full of rabbit stars. 🐇 🌟

There are good books and them there are books the genuinely shift the mind. This was one of the latter.

A library copy of Ta Nehisi Coates', "Between the World and Me" held in a pale woman's left hand. The cover has a distressed look to the text like sun worn paint on a brick building.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The deadly mermaid is here! She is a little bored today, no one new to meet and greet in the sea and invite down to the depths with her💀
An illustration of a mermaid laying on her side with her back to us. She has pale hair and a red tail with dark pink skin. Her fins are translucent and can be seen to be so as they curl around her back. Around her are bones and skulls of humans. She rests her arm on a skull. The background is a plain light peachy pink

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

And the camera pans to a bunch of inflatable frogs facing down extremely overmilitarised police.

No more putting myself down, I can illustrate/be creative and I will make new work. It’s gonna take some time but I will climb out of this.
A black & white pen and printing ink illustration on white paper of a large Victorian house on a small island surrounded by an estuary. Misty and atmospheric. A figure stands in front of the house. A watercolour, pen and acrylic illustration of a New York corner. Red brick buildings lit by sunlight create strong angular shapes. A man in a white suit crosses a pedestrian crossing. A black pen on white paper illustration of a hotel and the liquor store below it. A sign that reads: HOTEL HARTLAND runs vertically down the building, another sign for WOERNERS CIGARS and LIQUORS below it. The hotel is in deep shadow, a man hails a taxi. Across the road a row of shops in bright white sunlight. A brown ink drawing of Tove Jansson. She has red flowers in her hair, she holds a paint palette and brushes, a canvas with a painting of a sleeping Moomintroll in front of her. Tove wears a striped shirt, belt and skirt, she is smiling, happy and friendly.

✅ He fired a U.S. Attorney who refused to bring charges against her
✅ He replaced them with someone with NO prosecutorial experience

This isn't justice. This is retaliation.

When Black women do their jobs with excellence, they face attacks. But AG James isn't backing down, and neither should we.
