If you're wondering whether I said something in earnest, I DID. Minneapolis antifascist & abolitionist. Parent, neighbor, queer. He/him. Fuck the police. Angrily spreading joy. Banner pic: X-Men's Wolverine saying, "Pete! What's wrong with you?
Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit
Can I point out that the "anti-establishment" dems the DNC is freaking about are... *checks notes* ...working to better their constituents' lives through civic action. The anti-establishment position is to literally do things voters want. IN THE DEMS. Check yourself, DNC.
Sure, fine, rock the shirt. But first and foremost, give any discretionary coin you have to orgs in your own backyard who are working alongside trans youth. (HRC= homonorms rights, corp)

If you're in South Minneapolis, go check out my friend Anton's exhibit at the Hosmer library. On display now but there's an official opening party on Saturday (Aug 8, 2-3:30pm). I can't go but I'd love to send a few people his way—go over there and say hi!

How many NYC voters don't want their tax dollars subsidizing NYPD excessive force settlements for officers who are repeat offenders, and how much more do those settlements cost compared to the subsidized food 🙄
That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?
USA TODAY OpinionOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
When I started building my dwarven society, I snagged a mycologist to talk for a while about what kind of fungal crops might be possible, and in particular what food and textiles might be derived from them.
LouisaI’m gonna say virtually all authors need to get serious about textiles. Who is weaving them? Out of what? Who’s turning them into clothes and how much does it cost and do you have any idea how HARD all of that was before modern mills
Thanks everyone ♥️ I'm at $87/1000 tonight. That is hugely comforting.
reed eliot 🤌 🤌Fuck it We need a fence. We got quoted $1000 for something secure and solid to keep folks out of our yard at 3am. We are a household of mostly disabled trans organizers. We need help. My venmo is @ reedeliot Please help us out. It's getting fuckin wild.
Let's go . . .

Anybody in my follows a mechanic who can idiot check me on something? I’m pushing back on a diagnosis I got and I’m trying to figure out how hard to go.
Pretty unfair of the city to use MY TAXES to pay firemen to stop OTHER PEOPLE’S houses from burning down.

DOD is not letting trans service members attend their own separation hearings unless they conform with Whiskey Pete's notion of their gender. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/u...
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Minneapolis - need your favorite wheelchair accessible restaurants with group capacity for a celebratory weeknight hangout. Minneapolis only. Accessible in terms of no step entry, located on transit & hopefully serving both NA drinks/mocktails + alcoholic options + bonus for THC/CBD beverages
Gonna need straight cis people to call in their own when they see them making jokes about queers. Sick to fucking death of these "har har Pete Hegseth is gay" jokes. Y'all gotta stop uncomfortably laughing along and risk something for once. I am an optimist but y'all are testing me I swear
