My copy of the Rebel Loon Archive just arrived. It’s a beautiful book, inside and out. Heartbreaking but also inspiring. So perfectly done! Bravo to this whole project and the contributors.

Picture of book The Rebel Loon Archive“ABOUT THE BOOK
The Rebel Loon Archive: Art Against Operation Metro Surge is a documentary art book preserving visual and written responses to federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota in early
2026. Featuring protest signs, poetry, paintings, and other works by 300 artists, this book preserves expressions of horror, solidarity, and defiance as primary sources for future generations. Curated and edited by Erica Helander for Rebel Loon Press, it documents how neighbors in Minnesota and beyond responded to intense civil unrest.
The 250-page physical book measures 8.5x11" with a velvety soft-touch hardcover, with decorative headbands as part of the book's binding, and thick satin-finish paper lets the artwork shine.
Please note: this book contains a content warning for violence and mild sexual themes. Use discretion when sharing it with younger readers.”

@banditelli.org recorded, in his words, a "shitload" of #Pelicans. In venery, a group of pelicans are a squadron, pod, pouch or scoop. Squadron perhaps for flying formations, whereas pouch or scoop refers to their large bills with underslung pouches designed for scooping up fish and other food.

That is, in fact, even more pelicans than I anticipated. And I anticipated a shitload. This is like. A shitload x10.
