Just spent five minutes calling my representatives using the resources from 5 Calls. It's a great resource.
Also, if you're a phone-anxious person, call after-hours, leave a voicemail. It will still be tallied. It absolutely makes an impact.
The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.
Smudge the cat, who is mostly concerned just with what's going on in his own house.
Folks, I don't intend to post about every single horrible thing that's happening at the moment because I'm not a direct news source and also because my mental health has an upper limit. Don't confuse lack of obsessive news updating for lack of concern or lack of personal action. Also, here's a cat.
driving home from the hospital earlier, turned on @mprnews.org dreading what the latest news might be… but instead heard Pádraig Ó Tuama reading a poem 🥹♥️ everything suddenly felt possible again

this morning I was appalled to learn @amyklobuchar.com and @smith.senate.gov voted in favor of multiple horribly unfit cabinet nominees. called both of their DC lines with help from @5calls.org and was able to leave voicemails — their boxes are NOT FULL today, fyi. keep calling.

PLEASE SHARE - DO NOT GATE KEEP. Attend 1 or all. Participate or Listen. Low Pressure.
It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.
Cover of book "Locker Room Talk: Women in Private Space", nominated for the Minnesota Book Award Best Anthology
Red text saying "Through a prismatic series of essays, “Locker Room Talk” indexes the myriad shapes of women’s behind-closed-doors encounters: from the mammogram suite to the BDSM dungeon to P!nk’s backstage dressing rooms. These stories reveal the myriad ways women care for themselves, each other, their communities, and our world. Available only through Asterism Books"
We are delighted and humbled to have our book LOCKER ROOM TALK nominated for the Minnesota Book Award for Best Anthology!! It feels too appropriate to have this collection protesting Trump's misogyny to be recognized now at the onset of another Trump term. Buy @asterismbooks.bsky.social
