Every stitch tells a story of love, community, and remembrance. Volunteers across MN created the "Stolen Neighbors Quilt" with 11,000 squares to honor Minnesotans detained by ICE. Each fabric square represents a neighbor, a family member, and a life impacted by deportation. We stand for Justice!

Scratchy drawing of a two panel comic.
Panel 1: 
Titled:“How we thought robots would kill us”
A robot shoots a human to death with a gun. It screams “Die flesh sack”

Panel 2:
Titled “How robots will actually kill us”
A MediBot is injecting something into a humans arm. The bot says “Whooops. I injected you with cancer instead of insulin. That’s on me”

We have a house rule that we each are only allowed to choose one bad world thing to talk about each day. Use it too early in the day and that’s it, you can’t mention anything else. It’s a dumb game but also it kinda works as a way of reducing the anxiety/rage miasma.

Farewell today to the high priestess of polka dots, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama (1929-2026). Her work was unforgettable and for her, a means to survival. It’s playful, psychedelic, compulsive, beautiful and slightly unsettling all at once. Into infinity and beyond Yayoi! 🔴🟡⚫️

If we cured all cancer tomorrow, and it became an extremely rare condition, I guarantee that 30 years from now there would be people saying, “They just want you to take that anti-cancer pill to control you. It’s a bullshit disease that doesn’t even exist anymore.”
