I just got one of the nicest compliments from a parent on one of my cases. I’m relatively certain that it was genuine, too. Felt validating.

For real! Noses can be so unique and striking. Just as much as eyes or a smile.

Solid turnout. Lots of supportive horn honking. Tide is turning.

Free Palestine protest at the Federal Building across from City Hall in Minneapolis. Lots of flags and signs at a rally before the march.

I’ve bartended through many different eras; however, this one left the most scars. I can’t tell you how many hundreds, possibly thousands, Incredible Hulks I mixed.

Anxiety around large-scale political dynamics one has little capacity to control or directly affect is common, and often serves as a psychic screen with which to deflect attention from more proximate concerns. But sometimes it’s also just extremely anxiety-inducing to live under fascist violence.

Should we be surprised a political culture which refuses to recognize the possibility of bad faith among white people turned a watch word against that very phenomenon into a pejorative? We should not be surprised.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

With the landing in Illinois tonight of Trump’s invading troops from Texas to join his assault on Chicago, fascism isn’t just a specter; it has arrived. What would you have done during the rise of Nazism? Whatever it is you’re doing now.

I think we are well past the point where future historians look at us and say that civil war could not be averted.

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

I appreciate all the people showing love and support to me. I’m so grateful honestly. It means a lot. The ban isn’t that big of a deal for me. I think it was wrong and the explanation was bullshit. But that’s ok and I accept. Social media comes and goes. I’m grateful for all the connections I was able to make and all the people I get to be connected with off Bluesky. More importantly, the world needs more people to give a fuck. More people to give a fuck about Palestinians, more people to give a fuck about disabled folks, more people to give a fuck about our queer and trans siblings, more people to give a fuck about Black liberation. The world, and Bluesky, is full of bootlickers who will do anything to avoid doing anything to upset the status quo. These people are cowards groveling to those in power in hopes of protection. I just hope people continue to show love and care and kindness. Mutual aid is so important. Give when you can, boost when you can. We only survive this together.

Saw Erykah and The Alchemist a few weeks back. They killed it. I really want to go to her shows in Chicago but just not gonna work for my schedule.

When those in power can’t win the argument, punishment is all they got left.

Lupita Nihongo @otsumamiboy.bsky.social · 2d

I don’t want to talk about this because I don’t want to be a target

But on just a human decency level the person tirelessly deleting Gazans just permabanned the guy who uses his thousands strong platform to boost the fundraisers of literally anyone who needs money or mutual aid every single Friday

The shameful part is that Palestinians were always telling the world what's happening & were always getting killed by Zionists. But those deaths were not enough. It took a full blown genocide for most westerners to come around...and even now some people have the audacity to say "it's complicated"
