Tonight in MPLS: I'll be at "Resistance Remains" at Bethel Lutheran: craft fair and singalong benefiting the Bethel and Columbia Heights Community Funds: www.bethel-mpls.org/resistancere... I'll have books + art bundles: 100% of proceeds from my table goes to the fundraiser (free zines too). 6-9pm.

Good morning! I’ve got a popfest coming up in just under 2 months. When I tell you I am so excited for every single one of these bands www.windypopweekender.com

For @aftermath.site's Hater Week, I wrote about how deeply I hate Adobe aftermath.site/i-hate-adobe/

I Hate Adobe

Adobe is a wretched, exploitative company that loves generative AI. Many are coerced into paying money for their software and the software runs like garbage.

Haha I worked with the dude who made this for a short time and it felt like working with a celebrity

When my wife did chemo and radiation, she would go outside once or twice a day and shed the hair as it all fell out. Today, seven months later, we just found a nest a bird (likely a wren) made out of her hair.

If you are not in Madison and would like to donate I will post a thread of things to support, first and foremost this GoFundMe for Corey Ruiz’s family. www.gofundme.com/f/justice-fo...

I -never- worry about my creativity "running out". I worry about the fact that I may not be able to afford to be a full time artist because support for the arts has disappeared, the outright theft of artist's work by AI & a complete breakdown of the value of culture in general

Creative careers are fraught with worry. Constantly thinking your best ideas are behind you, that you're done. Raffi even has balm for adults.

Clean your air con and air purifier filters this weekend. Order 2-3 more to have on hand. Clean out the dust and particles from the hard surfaces, wear a mask while doing so. Check on your neighbor. If they need their filters changed, just mention you have an extra filter and offer.

I've had a couple folks ask what they can do to help support this civic zine project. Thanks for asking! You can donate a bit of cash! (It's tax deductible, too, through our fiscal sponsor) Every tiny bit is a big boost and the $ goes directly to microgrants! www.artsandmedia.net/wild-ramp-pu...

A really nice thing you can do for neighbors, if you have extra masks, is to put some in a bag and leave it with a "free masks" sign in a common area of your apartment building

Experts say a tight-fitting, high-quality KN95 or N95 mask is a good defense against the microscopic particles distributed by wildfire smoke. Free masks will be available at public library branches across the city. Find a location near you here ⬇️

Fueled by private equity investments, Lucky Strike Entertainment went on a buying spree and now owns more than 1 in 10 bowling alleys in the U.S. Bowlers say rising costs are making the middle-class activity unaffordable. NBC News’ Shannon Pettypiece reports from Wichita, Kansas.
