Hello new followers! I'm your auntie who likes to remind you that you are enough.

I swear, I knit, I read and write romance and read almost anything, I am chronically ill. I post about anything and everything and fangirl over BTS and many other kpop groups. Kindness matters. Remember that.

They aren’t backing down. They’re just threatening people in other cities. Still illegal. Still unconstitutional. Even if they haven’t yet backed it up by shooting someone in the face.
ICE is changing tactics in Maine: "Now, the volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest. Some of them, masked and wearing tactical gear, have issued stark warnings not to follow them." www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

He has taken two tests since the one had expired. Both are negative. So tomorrow it's urgent care to a strep test.

Also, what's your fave rapid tests because we were getting ours for the EU and tariffs make that too expensive.
Mr L is taking a Covid test cuz he's sick and his throat is quite raw. Please don't let this be Covid. Also if he tests negative I'm sending him to urgent care for a strep test cuz strep is having a time right now.

If you understand that having too much money and power rots people's brains and souls because no one can ever say no to them without consequences

then you understand why a groveling chatbot programmed to agree with everything someone says is detrimental to their mental health
“Many experts said that the number of people susceptible to psychological harm, even psychosis, is far higher than the general public understands. The bots, they said, frequently pull people away from human relationships, condition them to expect agreeable responses and reinforce harmful impulses.”

Also, even if the majority of ICE pull out of MN we are still going to need to be there for our neighbours, organizing and protecting them. Because ICE will continue to have a presence and will still do evil things.

The people of Minnesota did that. Not Schumer and Jeffries, not Walz and Frey, not the standard-bearers of decorum. The People.

Liam himself is five goddamned years old and should be at home with an adult he trusts right now no matter who his parents are. It would not matter if they were literal criminal masterminds, Liam Ramos is a baby and babies do not belong in prison.
Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

I don’t think we should be using words like “innocent” or “US citizen” or “bystander” or things like that because — what if someone was an undocumented immigrant with a criminal record? Would they deserve this? No one deserves to be executed on the street in cold blood.

it’s fun to remind the youth of today who were too young to remember it unfolding in real time about how the minute Obama became a viable presidential contender, the brains of every individual on the entire American right simply turned into scrambled eggs and they have never even partially recovered

They also need to try being a little quiet. They need to figure out whose voices they didn’t listen to and start paying attention. A little humility is a good place to start.
I need people who were wrong about everything to actually look back and recognize that there was a reason they were wrong and maybe they need to update their understanding of the world.

Otherwise they don't really think they were wrong.

A moment of calm for your timeline: Neko in her element, and our granite bird bath slowly disappearing. The snow continues to fall just like it has since before life left the oceans to collaborate with rock. The chickadees gossip under the snow-capped yew. Tiny dinosaurs, they are expert survivors.

Minnesota has a brilliant tradition of political art (see: the crop art at the State Fair) and as a St. Paul resident who has participated in the Winter Carnival in the past this makes me furious.
I'm a resident of the Twin Cities. A small team and I spent 3 days sculpting this for a competition/festival in extremely cold temperatures. We were disqualified for political messaging and one of the organizers defaced it. I have no regrets and I have never been more proud to be Minnesotan. (cont)

Boosting. If you have CashApp and some extra to give to a family in need, please consider this mutual aid request.

Aji is a friend who does her best to help her community by trying g to get visibility to needs like this.
Okay, I have to be offline for the afternoon, so can we have this raised by the time I get back on here this evening?

Only $300 needed now, to cover water & gall bills and groceries for a local family with little ones.

They ONLY have CashApp: qvueencherylanne
Okay, new urgent local need, a family who couldn't stretch this month's income to cover all the raised costs.

Trying to raise $400, which will go toward water bill, gas bill, and allow them to get a few groceries to feed the kids properly.

My ancient driver's ed training from the mid 80s tells me 2 goes first, 3 goes second, and 1 goes last.
Based on what I’ve experienced on the road, they don’t teach this anymore.
