A sunlit red brick storefront with a large vintage mural reading “Brown’s Ice Cream” and an old Coca-Cola sign above it. A striped red-and-white awning frames a small window with a glowing “Open” sign. A wooden bench sits below the mural, partly covered by the long shadow of a streetlamp. A small puddle and traces of melting snow are visible on the sidewalk, suggesting late winter light.

A wooden bench with ornate black metal legs stands against a textured, weathered wall with two tall windows. Warm late-afternoon sunlight falls diagonally across the bench and pavement, casting long shadows. The scene feels quiet and empty, with soft grain typical of film photography.

film photograph of a winter sidewalk with melting snow and a dark puddle reflecting a brightly painted building in yellow, blue, and red. The wet pavement turns the reflection into abstract shapes, resembling mixed paint on a palette. Grain and soft focus emphasize texture and color rather than detail

The saddest part for me is the fact that topic-starter mentioned in their bio that they homeschools their kids…I can only assume what has been taught 🤭🙈

So, now we becoming conspirologists? Interesting, I naively thought that it’s maga jurisdiction. But it turns out stupidity can travel across political spectrum pretty well. Yeah, why not to embrace our own version Jewish space laser brainrot? Charming

Obviously, I’m not going to watch it. Obviously, I don’t like her. But it saddens me how quickly mocking a non-native speaker’s accent suddenly becomes acceptable, and how easily we slip into misogyny when it’s not one of us. Remind me again, how exactly are we different from the MAGgAts?

Amazing 😍 I love the contrast between trees on foreground and background

Is it allowed to post selfie here? ;)

Team USA snow sculpture in Stillwater removed over ‘ICE out’ messaging The World Snow Sculpting Championship work by Team USA included messages spelled out in American Sign Language.

#Stillwater has removed the Team USA snow sculpture due to a “rules violation” after it included “ICE out” messaging. It’s disappointing to see art censored instead of discussed. If you have a minute, please call and explain why this was a bad idea: www.twincities.com/2026/01/28/t... #minnesota

According to the Star Tribune, a Minnesotan with Ukrainian heritage has become one of the faces of local resistance.
He turned into a meme partly because he doesn’t fit the usual image of a protester. Just a regular suburban dad

I learned about your place from a Star Tribune article and I’m excited to check it out. Thank you for what you’re doing

This is who Trump's fascist thugs murdered today. His name was Alex Pretti and he was a VA nurse, American born, and had no criminal history.

If they will lie about murdering him, then they will lie about murdering you next.

The whole trump regime is potworne kłamstwo 🤷🏼‍♀️

@americanhumanist.bsky.social @ffrf.org are we going just watch or maybe do something?

Early morning scene on Padre Island, Texas. A wide sandy beach stretches toward the Gulf of Mexico under an overcast sky. Gentle waves roll in, and the shoreline curves into the distance with no people visible. The light is soft and muted, creating a quiet, empty coastal atmosphere

Federal agents pinned a man to the ground in south Minneapolis and sprayed him with chemical irritants directly in the face.

Minnesota Star Tribune photographer Rich Tsong-Taatarii did not witness the man put his hands on agents.

Black-and-white photograph of a large wooden troll sculpture made from reclaimed materials. The troll has an open mouth and expressive face, with several children standing and walking around it for scale. The sculpture is installed along a paved path in a park-like setting, with trees and grass visible in the background.

Another Thomas Dambo troll. He’s a Danish artist, btw. Art export only, no land claims. Austin, Texas 🇲🇽(😉)

Snow sculpture of a large rectangular block with the words “SNOW BALL” carved into it, sitting on a snowy ground with scattered snowballs at its base. The winter environment and distant landscape are visible behind it

Snow art in Stillwater. This is how #Minnesota says things. Especially to ICE ;)

Yeah, I think I’ve asked you about it previously, and after that received it as a new year gift. But haven’t tried yet

I love these colors 😍

Black-and-white photo of a small coffee shop made from stacked shipping containers on Padre Island. The building has open container doors, a drive-thru sign, and a round coffee shop logo on the side. Overcast sky, empty surroundings, and a quiet coastal roadside atmosphere

A small coffee shop on Padre Island with travel photos on the walls. I ordered kolach and got a muffin 🙈 As a Ukrainian, I had questions. Kolach comes from “kolo” a circle. But it was good, so I let it go No regrets #BelieveInFilm

Aww, I had the same sigma, just for Canon. Gave it to my son

That’s actually kind of sad. I want to be a little bit botty. Not too much, just the right amount 🤪 You know, just in case the machine invasion happens and I need to mimic machines

A person holds a tablet displaying the cover of Travels in Hyperreality by Umberto Eco. The cover shows a surreal composition with a floating rock, a cloud-like form, and a sphere. In the background is a cozy living room with green walls, framed artwork, shelves, and soft daylight

“In the United States politics is a profession, whereas in Europe it is a right and a duty.”

If US politics feels surreal, but you suspect nothing here is truly new, read Eco. Sharp essays, elegant language, and a quiet, satisfying toxicity toward American “culture”
