Why am I up watching THIS episode of Critical Role when I need to get up early tomorrow? Fucking hell, man.
This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.
We now have rigorous pooled data showing that even without active restoration efforts, cleared rainforest can rebound to 75% of their former species composition and 90% of species diversity within just thirty years. #goodnews
The thing is, I enjoy fall in isolation but also I live in Minnesota and I know winter will be miserable and could begin tomorrow, so every day of wearing a light jacket and eating an apple cider donut comes with an edge of absolute dread. More than any other time of year, autumn is Anxiety Season.
You, a fall person: Ohmygosh I love fall!! Pumpkins! Cozy sweaters! Hot tea and cider! Pumpkins! Pumpkin Spice Lattes! The changing colors of leaves!!!! Me, a spring and summer person: :: pulls hoddie tight over head :: beware: the time of darkness, cold, decay, and death is nigh
This is like one of those furbys that starts glitching when the batteries are run down
whatcha thinkin?
Every. Single. Problem. In this entire story can be easily remedied by one simple solution, which is don’t fucking let your cat wander around outside completely unsupervised! You can’t be outraged and furious about what your cat gets up to when you don’t even know where it is!
Has your cat been gaining weight and staying out at night, only to arrive home reeking of marijuana? These are just some of the signs that a neighbour is trying to entice them away ...
A-no way this is happening in a way that matters. B-which is good, because they'd love to drum up 'impersonating a federal agent' conspiracy charges. C-op. No socialist worth trusting has a paid Twitter blue check and uses emdashes. Cop cop copcopcop.
Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.
seeing this spread by well-meaning accounts. but I don't think this is actually happening and it also strikes me as extremely dangerous both for legal exposure (imitating officers is a fairly serious crime) and for physical safety.

This is where the 1% will go to restart civilization after a nuclear attack. But it for me thinking: what if the uber wealthy built these bunkers for more people — and not for nuclear attacks but for the climate crisis that will get us all — instead of trying to leave the planet?

Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art
Oh that’s not all, folks. Antifa Waldo, beatifications of ICE martyrs, ICE agents slipping, and more—all from the likes of corn, barley, and alfalfa
“TWIN CITIES 2026 / GUERNICA 1937” by Jennifer Nelson of Fridley. Note the Merit Award from the state fair, and the black and white ribbon from the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Incredibly moving. One of the most powerful images I’ve ever seen.
Trump Pushes To Rename Sexual Attraction To Children ‘Americaphilia’
Let me get this straight. Sometimes a famous person dies and everyone is nice about it? Merely because of their deeds during life?
bike party in seward, minneapolis with tons of tall bikes and freak bikes is the most seward thing ever
😍 “Small kids passed through to say funny names out loud, sniff… or point out something they recognized from their yards. Simply seeing each plant showcased on its own highlighted beauties that are easy to miss… Each one granted a little dignity, treated as worthy to be displayed, named, admired.”
NEW in Porch Party: What is the opposite of enshittification? It's this exhibit of constantly renewed, individually labeled fresh wildflowers, meticulously run by volunteers at a small museum for more than a century www.porchpartynews.com/p/the-wildfl...
I did take a small stone from the river nearby, but in exchange, I left a stone I’d picked off the bank of the Mississippi. Just to give the land a clue of where we all went after we left.
It’s still crazy to me that the first thing I was greeted with after stepping off the bus by the old family farm was a hill covered in bilberries, raspberries and lingonberries. Like visiting a grandma you haven’t seen in ages and the first thing she wants to do is feed you.
