i wish our politics was more "this guy wants to enact this public transportation plan vs this guy who wants to this public transportation plan" and not "this guy wants to ignore all actual problems vs this guy who wants to put you in a concentration camp."

you have to be loudly pro-pornography and you have to never shut up about it. you have to become the "they want to take away your freedom of expression vis-à-vis cocks and boobs" person to everyone you know. i'm sorry to say it but it's just how it is right now

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care. Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting. He never returned to her that day. 1/2

A book dedication that reads

To Anzu.
You weren't good at laying eggs, which is the primary duty of a chicken, but you did have very pretty feathers. I'm sory that rats dug into your grave and ate you. That was unfortunate.
I would say rest in peace, but alas. The rats.

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation. Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.
Keep Minnesota Housed!
Much of the medía has left, but ICE is still in Minnesota and hundreds of families need help with rent in order to avoid eviction.
Visit keepMNhoused.com to adopt a rent or donate to rent funds!

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance. And you know why? Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

I took a close look at the latest Department of Homeland Security AI use case inventory, which details over 200 applications across DHS component agencies, including CBP and ICE. DHS is rapidly deploying these tools in US cities, while increasingly engaging in violence and defying court orders.

One small thing you can do today: ICE is ramping up in Maine. Food For All is delivering meals to 300 families that can't leave their homes. They need $7k a day to continue operations. The Culture Study community is raising enough to cover a day—join us? Donate directly: givebutter.com/Scx87A or

If you're taking to the streets to protest, know your rights.
"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS: You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. You have the right to photograph or film anything in plain view, including federal buildings and law enforcement, so long as you are not trespassing or violating a lawful order. You should not interfere with the actions of the government officials you are recording. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement officer at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney-no matter your citizenship or immigration status.""If you interact with ICE in public: Ask if you are free to leave. If so, you may calmly walk away. You have the right to refuse consent to a search. You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone, such as about where you were born, whether you are a citizen, or how you entered the country. If you have valid immigration documents, you should show them. Never provide fake documents. If you are arrested, say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer. You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere."

Today's In This City, Where it Rains blurb is from @clhellisen.bsky.social, brilliant author and artist, who also did the very cool moth art pictured!! Gothic horror novella out Feb 3rd from @lunapress.bsky.social! Order links etc: linktr.ee/lyndseycroal...
"A gothic mansion full of occult secrets and old cruelties, a city where the rain always falls and people never leave. Lyndsey Croal's novella is a haunting, claustrophobic story, a slow unravelling of truths as Maggie Fall, a bartender who can see ghosts in the rain, runs into a man who has the same abilities that she does, and is invited into ruined Tair House to discover the truth about who she is and what happened to her family. Only, Tair House remembers Maggie, and it's hungry for the freedom Maggie unknowingly brings with her. Reading this story is like walking through Edinburgh alone in the night rain, with secret histories underfoot, and spectres in the doorways. Highly recommended for fans of classic, creeping gothic fiction, who love atmospheric, evocative stories with a healthy dose of arcane horror."

"The issues" are not immutable. Americans do not come out of the womb arguing about trans girls in Division III volleyball. The issues are what you make them. The issues are what you're loudest about. Create the conversation around these murderers' war crimes, don't equivocate, and don't let up.

There are only 18 days left to support our kickstarter about a magical black hair salon. Here's a sneak peek of Hunter's story. She's a multidimensional alchemist. In another reality, the campaign is fully funded, & everyone's getting book boxes & a shop t-shirt www.kickstarter.com/projects/rid...
The growling outside her door was growing louder, and her gaze darted to the shadows shifting in the corner. She took a step back into the moonlight spilling through her broken window, and the armor she’d imagined so clearly in her mind’s eye transformed. Sliding from one plane to the next and encasing her in steel. Hunter held out her tongue, tasted moonlight and starfire, and pulled both into her mouth to hold the catalysts close. 
She was ready for war.
