A summary of my local Bsky feed:
- Go look at the sunset!
- Water balloons defeat Nazis
- Ways to help your neighbors
- Fancy sledding in Powderhorn
- Fuck ICE
- I love Minnesota
Love, Joy, Solidarity, Community
That’s MY Minnesota. And I will share it with anyone who also loves their neighbor.

Running Nazis out of town and then whimsical cardboard sleds at Powderhorn - you just have to love Minneapolis.

if you aren't in Minnesota and you tell me how to feel about things or that I'm feeling things wrongly or without perfect nuance, I'll just block you, thanks!

This is just the beginning of something beyond us. What we do here in Minneapolis in this moment will shape the course of our resistance.
We, ourselves, may not get to see the other side of what’s to come. But I do know it ends with us winning.
We are giving life to a brighter future here tonite

my last note of the night, my pappy made my day today when he told me that he ordered whistles and distributed them to his neighbors and coworkers.
it is so, so not his style. they really don’t know how they are changing regular people. which is good, because we need all of them.

“ope, yer not gunna get that one past me”
Props to the lady giving an interview in her pink UFFDA hat and saying, "well, gosh, I've never had tear gas and flashbangs shot at me, but I'm happy to take it so my neighbors are safe."

I’m not sure if it gets more Minnesota than this. This woman is a goddamn hero.
@statuscoupnews.bsky.social interviewing this woman in Minneapolis right now who said she came out of her home, wearing whatever she could grab to protect herself from ICE agents. You do what you can, with what you got.

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
