I have long told my clients facing displacement that evictions are a form of violence. An eviction is never the first bad thing to happen to someone, and is often the tipping point that kicks off full-blown crisis and a rapid downward spiral. The shootings today were a tragedy beget by tragedy.

rumors are that the shooter in minneapolis today was evicted from his apartment in loring towers and that the property manager was among those shot this reminds me of how taylor schulz had eviction as a stressor before he killed robert skafte in loring park in 2023 too

when i joined bluesky two years ago people joked that it was a posting retirement home for 38 year olds but this place has undergone such massive change since then, like the average age is now 40

do you want me to be your mentor (threatening, pai mei from kill bill voice) then look below & apply, app window open open through 9/30! if doing middle grade comics: apply with sample pages, portfolio & plot outline for me to consider

Again, the whole point of maga is the perpetuation of a gigantic government funded welfare program for lazy, cowardly, mediocre white men. The real underachievers are white men who cry and cry and cry when they lose money or status to women and minorities. Do not accept any of this in good faith.

Bessent on Democratic voters: "These are underachievers who are jealous of those who want to go and work every day"

Olivia Rodrigo raised $20 million for women's well-being with a benefit show featuring a women-led lineup. Her show raised $10 million and Melinda French Gates pledged another $10 million. Rodrigo said the festival's artists and activists give her hope despite the “regression of women's rights."

Olivia Rodrigo's festival is uniting women and girls behind nonprofits promoting their well-being

Few superstars are better suited to bridge the gap between Gen Z and nonprofits, which have struggled to build relationships with younger donors.

I don’t go in much for generationalism but I do think being the right age to be double-fisting a red bull and american spirits in the front seat of your best friend’s shitty car while blasting midnight city on a moonlit highway in late summer 2011 is perhaps a specific moment unrepeatable in time

you know what, bless bobbi brown for her jones road ad (from 1-2 years ago?) where she was bluntly like 'I don't believe in anti aging products because they don't work [ re: reverse time ] and they send a bad message' my queen has always been all about the privilege of getting older. i live for it.

I have a plethora of projects that are all in the finishing stages/75-95% completed, is unreal. I'm talking paintings that need 1-2 hours of work on them to be wrapped, 2025 tax stuff that needs like just 1-3 hours, and loads of house projects.

Heard about 2 new neighbors who live blocks apart but moved from Nashville more or less together; both fought against Tennessee’s racist redistricting & ground down by that loss. One was visiting when Alex Pretti was murdered, witnessed this community’s response, told pal “we need to live there.”

Our team started monitoring the number of people getting loaded on ICE Air flights in November; yesterday we counted our 5,000th. That count doesn’t include children, like Liam, or those who’ve self-deported on their own to avoid shackles, or the thousands loaded before November.

Caught up with Minnesota’s foremost ICE Air tracker @ottergoose.net yesterday as the 5000th detainee was flown out of MSP by ICE contractors. We talked about post-Metro Surge flight patterns, his appearance in undercover agents’ surveillance reports and more.
