Absolute Queen behavior from the Zamboni Rider today at the Minnesota Frost game.
No ICE
No War
No Kings

No Fear.

Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong:

"Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. 
I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. 
The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. β€œPastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. 
Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge.
The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."

Expressive Cat Drawings Capture Feline Personalities Through Gestural Lines The way this artist turns scribbles into incredibly expressive cat drawings is absolutely amazing!

Artist ShouXin brilliantly captures the range of personalities of cats with his energetic pencil drawings. trib.al/R9wjsog

The constituency of Americans who see DEI as detrimental to the country is vanishingly small, the sort of constituency that can easily be ignored if politicians want to ignore it.

We had $18k in rent requests come in just today (so far).

We’re anticipating needs at our neighborhood school to be over $100k again this month, but this time donations are WAY down. We don’t have enough money to cover everyone.

Please help us keep our neighbors w/ young kids from being evicted!

Embracing physical media is a rejection of hyper modern digitalization.

In short owning physical media is anti authoritarian and anti hyper modernity.

Buy the dvds
Buy the books
Own media
Build your own libraries
Destroy corporate ownership of media
Retain ownership and control of knowledge

Not only is Massachusetts one of six Dem-run states that hasn’t banned ICE’s 287g program (see map below)….

… it’s also the only state where a state-level agency, so one under the control of the governor (@massgovernor.bsky.social) is contracted with 287g: boltsmag.org/massachusett...

I’m no longer a local, but I always go back to old favorites of Broders’ Cucina Italiana and Broders’ Pasta Bar in Minneapolis when I’m back visiting my family. They closed for the strike and donated some profits of pastas sold for a week to MIRAC. Pasta bar has a lovely patio in the summer too!

American culture of the 1840’s would have been *very fucking surprised* to see the Irish considered as co-founders.

Elon’s an ahistorical dipshit, but its always worth saying some stuff out loud: if youβ€˜re a fellow Irish-American and you aren’t 100% pro-immigrant, you’re a fucking embarassment.

Bring Down the Stars Battle gods and fight for your life in this portal invasion survival game, inspired by works such as Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint and Solo Leveling. Based on the Godkiller system.

I love VDay *and* it's my birthday month *and* it's Black History Month! So normally around this time of year I'd be posting wishlists and cash links. But what I would love even more is if everyone could share the Bring Down the Stars crowdfund far and wide (and back it if you haven't yet)

Okay, I feel the need to say this.
Again.
If you are working on a project with other people?
Have a contract.
Oh, but if it's all casual, and with friends, and you've agreed to the terms verbally?
Have. A. Contract.
