I am listening to the audiobook of “By the Fire We Carry” by @rebeccanagle.bsky.social and it is… a lot. I keep having to take breaks to cry. The genocide, the parallels to today, the ways I did not learn these histories in school.
It is a lot, and it’s so necessary.
Bright green and dark blue kittens. One says F ICE and the other says BYE.
Other side of the mittens. The green and blue are swapped. Diamond tessealating pattern.

Sir.
SIR.
I wish for astonishingly wonderful things to happen to you all of the time.
This totally counts for entries to win the mittens.
These families have been through hell, they deserve their pets and literally any other comfort we can offer them at all.
The government has decided to give everyone a little jetlag as a treat since soon no one will be able to afford to travel anymore.
Raffling mittens to support rent funds. Every $5 is an entry to win these.
What should the second mitten say?

This is mitten pair #4. #2 and #3 got more than $4k and less than $5.
Let’s break $5000 donated, shall we?
I can make my own clothing now and they actually fit and it feels like a superpower.
I made myself corduroy polka dot pants tonight. Y’all can’t tell me nothing.
I’ll post a picture of mitten #2 as soon as it’s done. Probably a ❤️MN or something on it. I’ll open to suggestions.

They are still kidnapping our neighbors.
Abolish ICE.
This is the family of a beloved, who I am happy to vouch for. www.gofundme.com/f/ayudando-a...
For those who celebrate.
On Thursdays we get video of our kids doing yoga at daycare and I regret all of my life choices that led me to where I am and not to where that yoga instructors choices led them.
A bright green and dark blue mitten. Thumb is solid blue, and rest of the mitten is a tessellated diamond pattern with a striped cuff.
Other side shows that 4 diamonds are gone and it says F ICE
New mitten, hot off the needles.
I don’t know what the dollhouse is but yes, you absolutely do that.
AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
If I let in all the grief at once, I’d be completely incapacitated.
I tried not letting in any of it so I can “keep going” but then I found myself crying at arbitrary times throughout my days.
Shower sobs it is. Not to be mopey, but to stay human.
You can't possibly make it up, but you sure as heck can believe it once you've lived with a 3 yo.
That's rad.
(They are both fine, I promise)
This is for MN people who need giggles.
Sounds from downstairs
[toddler crying]
Spouse: I know it's hard
3yo: I am not going to drink the bath water again
S: I don't think you can stop
3yo: I can stop
*pause*
S: See, you didn't stop.
3yo: This time, I won't drink the bath water!
[toddler crying]
Yeah, dunking on strangers on the internet is fun, but have you tried meeting people in your actual community and showing up to organize and make your communities better?
I believe Nathan Fillion would mess with me. But Gina Torres wouldn’t play with me for nothing, right? Morena Baccarin wouldn’t hurt me on purpose, right? Not in 2026. Not when things are already so bleak.
This is so good and so necessary.

If you stop caring about the lives of children, start thinking of children as expendable in your war, you are in moral freefall.
