Know your rights before you hit the streets. Peaceful protest is protected — but only if you know how to protect yourself legally. Read, share, and stay safe.

If there’s any upside to this horrible data and privacy story, it’s that it reveals that Boomers are not opposed to therapy — as long as it’s not from a human. gizmodo.com/psa-get-your...

(using my gentle teacher voice): Hey everyone, stop what you’re doing for a second… stop scrolling for just a second… that’s right, let me have your attention for just a moment. Everyone go to your Bluesky settings. Just do this with me quick and then you can get back to your scrolling… 🧵(1/4)

My local cafe in Milwaukee is also a bakery and boulangerie that you can see the inner workings of. Love having a show with my tea.

Poetic.

Old person here to say that ICE did not exist before 2003 We opened this door after 9/11 and can close it again

Look what I found tiptoeing through my tulips in my front yard in Milwaukee! I could not believe it. n.b. I’m not going to eat this for fear of my life but it’s very cool. #mycology #morel #spring

This is the Way of the Dragon 🔥

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of protesters have now gathered outside a federal courthouse in downtown Milwaukee to support Judge Hannah Dugan

UDPATE: folks are dispersing from the courthouse as of 11:45 am (4/25) *Voces de la Frontera are planning another action at the MKE federal courthouse (517 E Wisconsin Ave) at 3:00 pm today* Again, try to go with someone you trust!

Through sheer force of will. Stay strong 💪

May everyone find a hole so big. What a joy.

TIL the Pittsburgh Pirates have their version of the Brewers Racing Sauages: pierogis. How do you know which filling is which? You memorize the hat color. They should have the filling leaking out and/or piled on top!

Winter Break Milwaukee had ~600 people turn up over the course of two events, one in the forest, one at the lakefront. #winterbreakmke

This weekend, there is a free winter event where you can try out new winter hobbies like fat tire biking, snowshoeing, dog sledding and more! Sat Feb 15, 2025, at Havenwoods State Forest in Milwaukee, WI. www.winterbreakmke.com

@milwaukeesnow.bsky.social I found two new recruits for your winter appreciation coalition at Winter Break MKE this weekend.

Great Bluesky feature. I used to forget way too often on the other app, now I never do. Settings > Accessibility > Require alt text before posting

Support for @samkuffelwx.bsky.social: I recently refused an interview with CBS 58 because of how you were treated. I will be talking with head of news later today. DMs are open.

Felt strange but nice to be back at @creativemornings.bsky.social as a 30-Second Pitcher. Maria and I invited to audience to attend Winter Break. www.winterbreakmke.com

If you’re a straight, cis person who has ever posted some version of a rainbow with “you’re safe with me” or similar, it’s time to back up the words with action— contact your reps and ask them what they’re going to do to protect trans people from this administration, particularly trans kids.

Calls and text messages have flooded me in the last 72 hours from friends and colleagues in Sierra Leone and elsewhere: Are my meds going to be cut off? Am I going to die? I don't know what to tell them. I don't know what to tell anyone. Hope is my whole jam, but I feel very distant from it.

I am raising money for a winter festival in Milwaukee. In 2024, 200+ people came. This years dates are Feb 8 and 15, 2025. Food, fun and bonfires. Donations go toward keeping all the activities free to attendees. Bring a little joy to deep winter. More info: www.winterbreakmke.com/ways-to-give

Gave my first radio interview this week. This is Xcaret Nuñez of @wuwmradio.bsky.social, who is so good at her job that it was actually fun and not terrifying. We talked about www.winterbreakmke.com and what it means for Milwaukee.

Bay View Fox seems to be enjoying the cold snap. This little pal looked perplexed to see humans out there (-12 F windchill).
