Not real but also perfection

So, Jacob Tierney's (Heated Rivalry) next project is going to be about Alexander of Macedon. This should mean both that his next-next project needs to be about King David AND that Ilya Rozanov is God's third favorite bisexual fuckboi.

I don't make the rules. But I do enforce them. Sometimes.

So, anyone else in the EU who had the GenX nightmare of being asleep during nuclear war having a really hard time getting to sleep right now? 'Cause, um. Yeah.

The people who get offended when I call King David "God's favorite bisexual fuckboi" are an entirely different group of people from those who get offended when I call Alexander of Macedon "God's second favorite bisexual fuckboi."

This pleases me.

Hey want to help the whistle goblins I print with make more whistles? There are approximately eleventy-billion wishlists here with filament begging to be bought and turned into whistles to deploy to across the country. Buy some filament and help the cause: linktr.ee/WhistleWishl...

Ok. But the Amtrak from MSP to Chicago is gonna be lit, in that case.

Dammit. Now I need some thin mints.

Oh no. Don't throw me into the briar patch, b'rer rabbit.

A group, one of many, holding candles in honor of a community member executed by an unaccountable paramilitary invasion force

This is Minneapolis.

Literally every corner along Lake St. packed with people holding candles, many singing, honoring a person who by all accounts was an absolute gem of a human, whose life was tragically stolen by a fascist, paramilitary occupation force.

CNN said there's unrest in Minneapolis and there's just not. There's very orderly, organized determination. This is not 2020.

i think the "immigration turns high trust societies into low trust societies" people were already on really shaky ideological ground but now they're watching neighbors helping one another and calling them paid antifa agitators

A-fucking-men.

Do not comply in advance.

The sex goods shop going from "we do not have the capacity or the desire for a gloryhole" to having the capacity and desire to run a full blown supply distribution center for the community is incredible stuff

When you succumb to the cynicism, you are helping Trump. He wants you to think that all is lost, that he is all powerful, and that there is nothing we can do.

The fight for democracy is hard, but it is worth having. We have shown we can stand tall. We have shown we can win.

...Which MINNEAPOLIS in particular knows REALLY WELL given that we've done this a time or two on the international stage. Recently, even.

Do you know how frickin pissed off you have to make Minnesotans for them to not only NOT help you, but HECKLE you?

School has been cancelled tomorrow and Friday across the city of Minneapolis, because our federal government has made it unsafe for children here.

Great! Take him away, then. (He's really a very bad mayor. He's excellent at soundbites and saying the right thing but WAY less excellent at leadership or DOING the right thing.)

Hey so, I'm from Mpls and my husband drives a red honda pilot. I work in Egypt, and the picture with the blood on the headrest was the first thing I saw on CNN this am, with no name attached. I had to throw up, call my husband, and then cry. He's alright, but I'm not sure I am.

STOP MAKING ME LIKE THE MPLS MAYOR. HE'S TRASH IN EVERY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE, I PROMISE.

I keep reposting things with discussions of how close all of this is to my home (physical), but I don't think it matters given how small a city MSP is and how close it is to home (emotional).

3yo: “daddy’s phone is in his pocket!”
me: “that’s true!”
3yo: “why isn’t mummy’s phone in her pocket?”
me: “… buckle up, kiddo, we’re gonna discuss five hundred years of fashion and misogyny”

We need a rent-a-bubbe service in Judaism. Don't have grandkids? Grandkids don't care about family lore and recipes? Rent yourself out to an adult convert who would KILL for Hanukkah advice and a cholent recipe!

Dear Sean Duffy,

I will happily dress up to fly when you can give me leg room and a reasonable assurance I won't be sleeping on the terminal floor because my flight was fucked. Otherwise? It's leggings and a hoodie, and you should be grateful I brushed my hair.

I am now officially three degrees of separation from the pope.

Friend, this is not something you volunteer for. This is something you raffle off the opportunity to do and donate the proceeds to an anti-trafficking charity; think bigger! (Kidding, mostly.)

What? No. It's the endless debate about the frog/frogs/spaniards/frog... and thwacking your inlaws with green onions.

iykyk.

Oh, okay. Good. Confused > geriatric any day! :)
