Radiant Starlight 🔜 AMKE

you won't be seeing me at target. nothing has changed

Oh HO

Fucking Strib 😠

From the Strib article... “Target said no policies were reversed or reinstated as a result of the conversations and described the $2 billion pledge as the completion of an existing commitment.”

It's Minnesota. It's March. People are legitimately surprised it snowed?

I hate the S2 'criticism' that everyone has a similar backstory/everyones a murderer cause its really obvious these backstories were paired together to compare and contrast and serve narrative purpose. I... thats a strength of the writing, not a weakness???

fabric is also typically not taxed in the state of Minnesota since it can be used to make clothing

every day I love living in Minnesota

I purchased some shoes I'll be using for cosplay and since shoes are clothes they are not taxed in MN :D

its telling that this is the first I've heard of this godawful event

sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /

I literally had a better time at a con i totaled my car at than I did at amke this weekend

That's not amke's fault though, the parts of amke I got to go to this weekend I was really happy with, I thought the new vendor hall space was great and the use of the expanded convention center is good!!

tfw you run out of setting powder in the middle of setting your homestuck facepaint

even during con crunch helicopter still keeps me company

isn't windows 11 still struggling to be a functioning OS?

still using my 10 year old laptop, but whenever I get a new one. Ubuntu or Mint. Linux desktop girlie in personal AND professional life.

The Twilicane from MLP. A gold colored staff with a ruby on one end and a Twilight head on the other.

Could I commission someone to make and ship me a replica Twilicane for a panel I’m pitching? I have a really silly idea, and it won’t go away.

If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.

I want to encourage the Canadians in my orbit to seriously consider adopting a rent payment for a Minnesotan this month. I don't have the means to do it right now, but maybe you do. This is the #1 best way you as a Canadian can make a real difference in the fight against American fascism.

Oh I don't leave until Thursday, I took tomorrow as a full Idiot Cosplay Crunch Day

Which hopefully will involve finishing all 8 sets of wings I get to make!

I took tomorrow off so that means MY AMKE WEEKEND HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN YIPPEE YIPPER YIPPEE YIPPEE

DAIRY QUEEN IS OPEN. I REPEAT, DAIRY QUEEN (by my house at least) IS CURRENTLY OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

there was a flock of turkeys near Finnish bistro this morning and it was so delightful to see them, especially with how bright and fresh they looked in their spring plumage!

folks walked in on my way out absolutely delighted by the turkeys

the anime milwaukee badges are super cute but they are finally large enough that they do not fit in my wallet (my strat for making sure I Absolutely Do Not Forget The Badges For a Con 5 Hours From Home)

would be a real boost to my party this weekend if it happens while I'm in a stupid little costume with a bunch of other folks also in costumes with various amounts of alcohol in our systems

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

Do we have a Constitution anymore, or is it just optional? Because if it’s the second thing it opens up a lot of options about what to do with these guys

"Mr President please provide a detailed account of your strategic considerations and timeline for withdrawal" my dude he just invaded an American city for a month because of a youtube video

Fill your pill cases if that's a thing that you do at this time of the week or month

Ope, it's the first of the month and also a Sunday which many see as the first day of the week.

Is it time to fill pill cases? If so, get on that. Don't forget or put it off (not that I would ever do such a thing).

If you don't have pill cases to fill, you could get some, it can be kind of fun. 🤷‍♀️

I thought Republicans hated gender neutral bathrooms

Heard about it in a 2023 twitter exodus. It sounded easier than mastodon. My friend @cracklescousin.bsky.social invited me when I offhandedly mentioned wanting in!
