This is such a good idea. It is great to be righteously angry; it is even better when people figure out a way to channel that into actual efforts to ameliorate harm. Congrats to all.

I'm seriously so fucking sick of people using the e-bikers are lazy trope. And even if you *are* able-bodied and use an e-bike, who the fuck cares? Getting somewhere faster and not all sweaty is fantastic.

At the end of WWII both Germany & Japan were demilitarized by the Allied powers. I'm not sure how but something similar needs to happen to the USA, Israel, & Russia in the coming decade. These three nations are the source of so much violence across the globe.

Everyone should not have to have a direct line to elected officials in order to ensure that we are not kidnapped by the government.

Probably could get trains AND healthcare.

All ages and abilities or bust!

just stumbled upon an antique shop named 'the past & the curious' which

Leading three writing workshops this week of all weeks is turning out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever haphazardly made for myself.

Three nights in a row I get an automatic nervous system reset while grounding into creative community.

More, more, more, please.

I'm asking that we all raise our political expectations. We deserve good things.

I have a food-writing workshop kicking off at the end of the month!

Maybe you know someone who wants to join?

People can say it’s utopian or dreamy but it’s a fact that you have to believe new things are possible, fundamentally, in order to make them real. You have to make the choice to believe that more than this is possible & not be resigned to this being the way things have to be because it’s not at all.

this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit

you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table

you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

More of this, please.

Post-event interviews [like immediately after the event just ended] should be banned from the Olympics, especially when a favorite athlete fails to medal. Give these young humans time to breathe and process. They’re not robots.

ABOLISH ICE.

Get them out of Minnesota. Get them out of every city. If they behave like domestic terrorists then they ARE domestic terrorists.

"His skating is sometimes like spreading cold butter on toast."

Buuuurn coming in hot from the Olympic figure skating announcers.

if everyone could take on the “what if we just did the thing instead of waiting for it to happen” energy that much of minneapolis has right now, the world could be pretty good

Creative community is such magic.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

So much hurts. So much is heavy. If you’re in need of some creative community, just a gentle reminder I’m kicking off two DIVE [writing group] cohorts next week, and there’s still time for you to join us.

Writing always helps.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Such a great list.

It's a problem that actual elected officials post on social media as if they are powerless observers and commentators.

100%

This is it exactly.

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review

Yard signs on display

Given the timing, we consider this to be targeted harassment as punishment for exercising our First Amendment rights.

We're still handing out free whistles. And we just got in hundreds of new yard signs.

Keep resisting, Minnesota. We love you.
