Wish me luck. Doing a temporary stair for around $250.00. Hopefully will get this wrapped up today. 🤞🍀

A friend of mine is moving BACK to 🇧🇷Brazil🇧🇷 and he's asking for help with Pet expenses for his dog Loki. Anything helps! www.gofundme.com/f/send-loki-... #gofundme, #pet, #puppy, #dog, #petexpenses, #Brasil, #Brazil, #cachorro

Fuck ICE.

California is now the 4th largest economy in the world. We are the backbone of the nation’s economy — an achievement that begins and ends with our people. Our success is rooted in our commitment to innovation, culture, community, and an economy that creates opportunity for everyone.

The fundamental thing for me is that their music is trash. This might ACTUALLY be the reason... loudwire.com/trapt-2025-a...

Part of me knows that almost all politicians are snakes and that you can't trust a word they say, but.... 🤞 www.alternet.org/trump-medica...

#gardening, #zone4 🌱 I'm in Minnesota and am still kinda feeling out the growing season after 3ish years here. I probably should have started seed indoor already, guess I'll get going this weekend. Heres my method, and yes, a lot of plastic, but I will re-use for 2-3 seasons.

Rick Steves, out there protesting. What a good guy. #ricksteves

Headed to the Minnesota State Capitol building today for the Hands-Off protest. I encourage you to do the same wherever you are! handsoff2025.com #handsoff, #handsoff2025, #hands-off

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies. In Denmark: - Health care and college are free.   - The starting wage is $22/hr. - Paid parental leave is 1 year. - Paid vacation is 6 weeks.   - All workers get pensions.

I guess this is my "scream into the void" zone, so... accordingly: Not that America has always been an angel, but since January, we seem to be making enemies of places where we were mostly welcome and aligned with before. Obviously, four more years of this is going to be cancer.

For the past week, I was like, "why the fuck are there so many earthquakes and pending volcanic eruptions lately? Am I crazy?" Turns out, I am crazy, but this article from 2016 suggests there may be a reason www.smithsonianmag.com/science-natu...

buff.ly/WaUiwRD "We need a city that will stand with residents against what is essentially a Trump-Musk administration. Frey, like the out-of-touch Democratic establishment he represents, has proven himself unwilling and unable to do the job."

Like many of you, I wake up and say "how much stupider is this going to get" www.epa.gov/newsreleases...

Americans think low taxes are a trade-off for a limited welfare state. But health care costs are just a private tax — and if you include them, we pay the second-highest tax rate in the world. It doesn’t have to be this way.

People who sincerely believe that deliberately crashing the economy while simultaneously removing our social safety net is going to help America in the long run are too far gone down the m*g*hole to be saved. Stop trying to teach them right from wrong; let them learn this lesson on their own.

When we organize, we keep ourselves, our neighbors, and people we don’t know safe, housed, cared for.

Terrible subject, good coverage.

Your daily dose of "these motherfuckers" conflating situations like this with the civil rights movement. Personally, when I see a red hat, I consider that they are armed, racist, and will kill you over a parking spot. bringmethenews.com/minnesota-ne...

Having friends is great, but I'd rather remain completely socially isolated and trapped in an echo chamber than listen to some conservative nitwit pontificate on anything ever again. I get it: the underlying foundation of anything you are reasoning your way through is some form of bigotry. 👍
