Always working on being a better intersectional feminist. Fuck the patriarchy; I’d rather be crafting than smashing. Straight but a “gay fanatic”.❤️ She/Her

I hate that after 15 years of learning the most about social justice and community here, that it is necessary to delete the app because rich white dudes can’t fucking not make things worse. I’ve got the same user name on other socials. I’ll see you there. ❤️

@WalterHudson Marked for what, Rep?

[Angela @aca902]

@RepMaryFranson @bbierschbach Mary, you couldn’t even be bothered to show up to work on time on the 16th. Settle down.

[Angela @aca902]

@dnelsonmn @bbierschbach I sat on a volunteer advisory board for my city council 10 years ago, and I’m fairly certain I was sworn in before I sat for my first meeting. It’s just needs to happen before someone can serve.

Surely if I just internet a little harder, the election results will show up

[jourdain searles @judysquirrels]

just because a person is bad doesn’t mean he’s interesting or complex or worth nearly a decade of discussion. it’s a national obsession and I want it to be over. there are a million guys like him. he’s not special at all. never has been.

@hoppykristin I am no-contact with my family of origin for similar reasons. Proud of you for holding your boundary and your grief at the same time. Be gentle with your heart today. ❤️

If your safety is secured on Tuesday, are you coming to help the rest of us? Are you going to keep fighting?

Saint Paul: vote NO on both.

I joined elected and community leaders who are child care and voting rights champions today to talk about why Saint Paul residents should vote NO on both city ballot questions 1 and 2 this election cycle.

@dskamper @JessHansonMN Not that you shouldn’t take it as a compliment, but I’ve been confused for both Jamie Becker-Finn and Alicia Donahue on the doors (and possibly Amanda H-J, but I can’t remember clearly). White people are pretty face blind 😂

This is why strong movements are built on 1:1 conversations that mostly involve listening. In a conversation, people are often able to look at their own thoughts in a way they don’t normally do, and have insights that otherwise they wouldn’t have.

“The encampment has since been dismantled. Those living in it were offered access to services and supports, which they refused.”

I hope everyone involved in destroying this community are losing sleep over why these people refused services.

(I know they’re not. But we should.)

[Edmonton Police @edmontonpolice]

Police say it is one of most elaborate encampments they have ever seen, with a mini-power grid, including solar panels, and multiple home appliances.

The encampment was discovered last week by the City of Edmonton and Edmonton Police Service joint response encampment team. It was almost completely camouflaged and included four multi-level structures surrounded by a fence made of trees and broken branches.

The structures had been built without nails or other forms of support and were at risk of collapse. Inside, police and park rangers found fire-stoves with lit fires, a stone fireplace, stone/marble flooring, a working fridge and washing machine, and live electrical wires strung haphazardly.

Power was supplied by four generators, with solar panels powering a chop shop for stolen bikes.

15 weapons, including three guns, and about $8000 worth of stolen goods were recovered. Police have so far returned 2 backpack blowers and 1 mountain bike to their rightful owners.

20 violation tickets were written, and 10 warrants executed.

The encampment caused significant environmental damage to the trees and root systems, and the nearby creek was dammed in multiple places to provide running water to one of the structures.

The encampment has since been dismantled. Those living in it were offered access to services and supports, which they refused.

If you need any evidence that we are not, in fact, defunding police, is that this dog has better dental care than most American people.

(FTR, I’m not opposed to treating animals humanely, but c’com.)

@sabocat_teacher As it should be!

@ChefReactions I’m not a big horror fan, BUT

Midnight Mass is near perfect television.
Orphan Black is highly underrated TV.

Shaun of the Dead (classic!)

The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster (I haven’t watched it all but he way thru, but the bits I’ve seen are GOOOOOD and intense AF)
