This program to fly people back from ICE detention using donated miles is also still open: www.standwithminnesota.com/gethome

A classic example of the "Me" exception.

I guess you can use your pretend money to pay pretend bills.

A very tough watch.

Gah, how do people with arthritis deal with child safety locks? I bought some lydocane, hoping for some pain relief for the bursitis in my hip, and I have to take it back to the store because I cannot open the fricking top.

How to Help: Twin Cities Residents Last edited February 18th, 2026 This is a post for people in Minnesota. I’m going to do a separate post for the non-Minnesotans when I’m done with this one. (If you’re in a hurry …

See also her excellent post for people INSIDE Minnesota, which covers a lot of things we did to organize, which should give you some ideas. naomikritzer.com/2026/01/19/h...

I got it for the fall alert, too. I’m in my mid-60s and live alone and have had several falls.

How To Help if You are Outside Minnesota Last edited February 18th, 2026 I’m going to assume that if you’re reading this, you more or less understand the situation in Minnesota and I don’t have to explain it to you! That…

Here’s a post by @naomikritzer.bsky.social early in the siege here in Minnesota for people watching from other states. See her very solid advice in the second half of the article, starting from the section titled “Get ready for this Bullshit to Come to You.” naomikritzer.com/2026/01/21/h...

Valid.

In Minnesota we would go with lingonberry jam.

I started this list the last time the MSP Feed was down for a bit & added a bunch of people but I know there are many I haven't added. MSP Feed folks can reply to this & I'll add them to the list when I get a minute & recognize you or you seem MN legit. ❤️

Pick me, pick me!

Noooooo, the Minneapolis/St. Paul feed is down, and it's expected to be down for several weeks. How will I survive without that feed?!

Yep. I’m 65 so it’s more difficult, but I try to do this every day.

My Minicon Schedule For those unfamiliar, <a href="https://mnstf.org/minicon59/">Minicon</a> is a science fiction/fantasy convention held in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis, specifically) on Easter weekend every year. I've been attending since, oh, 1988 or so? <br /><br />Scheduled events where you can find me:<br /><br /

Will I see you at Minicon this weekend? Here is my schedule. pegkerr.dreamwidth.org/1862555.html

I'm moderating the Books We Cull / Books We Keep panel. I'll see you there!

A family: father, mother, and toddler and baby in stroller. Parents are dressed in blow up Tyrannosaurus Rex costumes, and the children in dinosaur fabric costumes. The father holds a sign that reads “The ICE Age sucks. Meteor 2028.

Also, this family was adorable. Even the toddler and the baby in the strollers were dressed as dinosaurs.

Glad I brought mine. bsky.app/profile/pegk...

A woman wearing a red Melt the Ice hat and winter coat smiles at the camera. She is holding a full-size American flag mounted on a flagpole.

Glad I went!

Sent the photo to my daughter, the introvert.

Three people holding signs: “Hands off!” “So bad even the introverts are here” “No kings”

This was my favorite sign today (center).

Big crowd at Lake Nokomis!

As many as that?! Wow.

Does everyone know about this really savvy and useful resource tracking real time evictions in Minneapolis?

If you click on the "top evictors in Minneapolis" button it takes you to a proton drive showing neighborhood level eviction tracking updated most recently on 3/23.

LOL. Maybe.

I even tried a pencil that mysteriously wouldn’t write, either. Baffling.

I grabbed a pen to take note while on the phone today, and the pen didn’t work. The next pen from the cup on my desk didn’t work either. Or the next. Or the next!

All told I tried and threw away eight pens before I found one that worked. Yet more evidence that we’re in the worst possible timeline.

Made with the chocolate bread that can be purchased on the weekend at Turtle Bread Bakery, for future reference.

A heaping plate of chocolate bread French toast with berry compote

The state of the world necessitates having a heaping plate of chocolate bread French toast with berry compote for breakfast, dammit, and none of you are going to stop me.
