Hallmark has done every plot, so it is time for the apotheosis of Christmas movies: a big city lawyer returns to her small hometown and falls in love with an actual Christmas tree. After a series of missteps, they get married and have tree/human babies. Their hybrid spawn scream in endless torment 🎄

Minnesota has been out here being quietly accepting for decades. It’s very midwestern of them, and I mean that in the best way possible.
“Minneapolis, since the early ’70s, has really been a leader in the gay rights movement,” he said. “That comes out of a lot of the student organizing at the University of Minnesota in the late 60s.”
50 years ago, Minneapolis redefined LGBTQ+ rights
On December 30, 1975, just before the New Year, the city council passed trans-inclusive protections unlike anything the U.S. has been able to achieve.

Really useful analysis of data to show how many people are going to ICE detention from local jails. These arrests are less visible to the public - as compared to raids or street arrests -- so we don't see the full scope.
From @prisonpolicy.org: New analysis of government data from ICE via the Deportation Data Project shows federal agents reliant on local jails and police to reach their arrest numbers.

One life eclipses another; Smilodon takes down a whitetail deer. Inspired by petroglyphs, cave art, and ancient Scythian art. It's weird to think that the whitetail deer survived the ice age and made it to the present but many of its predators did not. #art #smilodon #paleontology #rockart #deer

I’m using a tacrolimus ointment for some dermatitis, and one weird side effect is that a few hours after I apply it, my skin feels all cold and hot and tingly. I dunno what it’s doing to my nerves, but it’s not unpleasant, just weird.

I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.
A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

“Welp,” I said to the person next to me, “that’s either a god or a Pokemon.”
