A collection of 9 anti-ICE and related signs.

A collection of 9 anti-ICE and related signs.

I’ve been photographing anti-ICE and related yard/window/tree/street signs around Minneapolis. The variety of commercial and especially handmade signs is amazing, as is the urge for people to let their neighbors know they care and are furious in ways big and small. Batch #1

It costs me $35 flat per month to charge my EV at home and I feel like I'm getting away with a crime.

That Noro is GORGEOUS. I can't wait to see the finished product.

I was so tempted by that pink, but I already have a SQ. I added some grey mist since it’s such a great contrast color

Yay! What did you get?

A rosy red oversized hand knit sweater in fisherman’s rib being modeled by the knitter in front of a snowy landscape. The yarn is Purl Soho Wigeon.

A wheat colored hand knit sweater in a waffle rib being modeled by the knitter. The yarn is Purl Soho Wigeon.

A rust orange hand knit sweater in twisted rib being modeled by the knitter. The yarn is Purl Soho Wigeon.

An ivory hand knit sweater in lacy cables being modeled by the knitter. The yarn is Purl Soho Wigeon.

Purl Soho is discontinuing one of my favorite sweater yarns, Wigeon 😭

Thank you, and I’m so sorry you had a scare with your baby ❤️‍🩹

With everything trying to harden my heart, it’s almost a relief that a little cat’s life can be something that brings me to my knees. She gave me almost 16 years and I still wasn’t ready.

Agreed, and I think it looks nicer with bold textures/cables.

Oooh, I like that you went with 2x2 rib for the turtleneck

A church signboard that reads, “You must love immigrants for you were once imigrants [sic]. -Leviticus 19:34

I know national attention has moved on from the ICE situation in MN (because, you know, war), but this is the signboard from one of the more conservative churches in my rural, red town of 3,000. We are going to win.

The key is to keep running

An interesting new twist to the backyard ultra format

(I would smash this)

Is the president mocking the U.S. women’s hockey team on a celebratory call with the men’s team going to attract even an iota of the sustained handwringing that the idea of trans athletes disadvantaging women’s sports has gotten

Fuuuuuuuck this and fuck them

That was so much mayo???

I’m so sorry that happened. 😞 It’s tough because shelters can only do so much to evaluate dogs when the need is overwhelming. Foster based rescue helps a lot, but it’s far from a perfect system.

All hail Blucifer

Denver airport’s giant blue statue of a horse with glowing red eyes, named Blucifer due to its appearance and ignominious history. Picture taken by post author. The Denver airport looms in the background, with looming dark clouds.

Year of the Horse includes Blucifer, right

I’ve worked in dog rescue for many years and I will NEVER judge someone for getting a healthy, well-socialized puppy with the traits they desire from a reputable breeder. Rehabilitating unsocialized, anxious dogs is hard fucking work and not something the average pet owner is equipped to handle
