Y’all, even my mom is like “don’t come for Chicago” ‘cause Chicago, a hacker con happening this weekend, and malört.
Y’all, the pilot just said they have to turn the plane off and on again to fix a computer issue before we can leave.

I know everything is horribly dangerous and awful right now but regular Americans actively loving their neighbors is so beautiful and spiritually fulfilling to see and participate in.
AND ALSO it's very very funny that the right does not understand what it means to have friends and community.

I have lived by myself for a very long time; I hang curtains, take the vacuum apart, and clean the dishwasher filter (all 13 goddamn screws to access it) but what broke me was not being able to open the Costco jar of artichoke hearts.

Protests happen, but most of what is happening in Minneapolis isn’t protesting.
More accurate terms:

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!

I know they'll be back through Chicago. I know it'll be worse than what we had last time. I wonder what the distance between blowing a whistle and being executed because Officer Wifebeater is having a bad morning is. I'd rather grow old. I'd much rather all of us grow old. Yet,

It shouldn’t need repeating but please don’t order anything to be delivered over the next few days with the freezing cold and incoming snow unless you’re physically unable to go get it. Once this lifts, go visit all your favorite places to make up for lost time. Tip extra while you’re at it!

Fun fact: Black Panthers doing perfectly legal (at the time) open carry in CA in the 1960s spurred then-Governor Reagan to sign the Mulford Act into law in 1965, prohibiting it.
These people have no consistent politics outside a desperate, leering need to keep hold of power and privilege.
