If you’re confused about why - the government pays to get you to detention but you’re on your own to get home, and that’s not accessible for most folks. A really concrete way to help from afar.

Friends if you are a person with airline miles you don’t need, you can donate them to folks in Minneapolis to get home. I just spent 12,000 miles on a flight to get someone released from detention in El Paso home to tonight. It feels great. You can sign up here: www.standwithminnesota.com/skymiles

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

This morning at the Minnesota State Capitol. An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.

A federal judge is blocking the Trump administration from terminating Temporary Protected Status for Haitian immigrants living in the U.S., finding that statements made by White House officials demonstrate that racial bias played a part in decision-making.

Judge Halts Noem Move to End Protected Status for Haitian Immigrants, Citing Trump Admin’s Racial Bias

The “decision to terminate Haiti’s TPS designation was motivated, at least in part, by racial animus,” the judge ruled.

10 days post snowfall; my street is still not clear enough to park on and #Providence is just starting to enter the “daily melt becomes nightly black ice” phase. I miss nice daily walks around the neighborhood! #BestRunCity

I’ve had this magnet for a decade and it never gets less relevant. Only venture capitalists can play with this balloon. 🎈 (Hilarious purchased at the Broad in LA) New words: #capitalist #play #balloon

A magnet with a left photo panel picturing a giant red balloon dog à la Jeff Koontz and a small boy reaching up toward it. Right panel is written in the style of Dick and Jane books and reads: “I want to play with the balloon” says John. “Only venture capitalists can play with this balloon,” says Mummy.

It is currently 8:36 AM in the UK. I am spending the day in a meeting and taking an 8 PM flight home. Somehow I land in Boston at 10:30 PM for a total of 48.5 hours wheels up to wheels down. For now in a Wildfang suit, thrifted French cuff shirt and cufflinks, found scarf, determination.

I lost a dear friend in January, days before she died we had made a plan for ice cream today while I was in her area. In her honor I had a double scoop in a waffle cone in view of the Bay Bridge. I think she would approve. I love you and miss you Court.

I used to be a daily #SuitButch but now that it’s an occasional thing it’s a lot more fun. (H/t to @dieworkwear.bsky.social 4 style tips!) Handmade K-Zao suit, thrifted Thomas Pink shirt, Trafalgar naiad braces, and pink pocket square, gifted blue silk scarf, gifted flower pin. #OOTD #QueerStyle

That pink is 🧑‍🍳 💋. I never knit my socks together, I always get confused when it gets to turning the heel and/or wind up knitting them together. But it makes so much sense for making sure they are the same!

The triangle is just highlighting how a gusset usually works - in this case you m1p between the halves of the cable leading to a purl triangle between knit ribs that makes it pop!

Jenn Steinfeld @jennsteinfeld.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

Heel turning is never totally brainless so you do need to pay some attention there. But if you know how to cable this is real easy, 2x2 crossed the same direction every 6 rows (or how you choose to adjust. Maybe not brainless if it’s your first sock project but clearly written and easy to follow.

Just checked my watch and it’s #CuteBatOclock. Having a friend rewrite this meme for me to be #nonbinary inclusive yet specific to my interests made me feel really loved. How are you loving up on the #Queer, #Trans, and #Enby folks in your life? And/or how are you celebrating #Bats?

A photo shows a pink skinned human hand holding a small brown bat with its wings extended. The text reads “You may fascinate a *Jenn* by giving *them* a little palm sized bat.” Asterisks indicate where a newly typed word was pasted over the original text. If there is a better way for me to describe this please let me know, I’m trying to get better at alt text descriptions!
