I do not like seeing my house or my neighbors’ houses on the national news. It always about bad things. It’s never about making the golf course a public sex forest, which is what it’d be about if the world wasn’t totally off the rails.

i picked up M'Lou Baber's "Double Knitting" book, and hot DAMN some of these are WILD. I actually really like this pattern for a baby blanket, but let me tell you, no baby is getting this blanket from me in the next year.

Wild to me how similar the kind of community support that's going on in neighborhood signal chats is to the work of being a deacon*

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.
The frigid Twin Cities temperatures will hurt the homeless; so do not gloat about the impact on ICE without also stepping up here:
If you're still able to help Minnesota, @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social is always accepting donations. $10 buys a pack of handwarmers. If you were given Amazon gift cards this year for Christmas, you can shop their Amazon wishlist: linktr.ee/sanctuarysup...

ICE agents love to wave around paper that looks official. Most of it is a scam — administrative forms signed by ICE supervisors, not real judicial warrants signed by judges. Let's go through what that scam paper looks like versus a real judicial warrant.

An end to the male loneliness epidemic? Previously aimless and disaffected young men and boys are finding companionship by driving around together to tail the goon squads and warn their neighbors.

This is Minneapolis:
Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.
Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.
