There are a number of reasons I’m looking forward to being home, and being in the correct time zone for The Pitt is not NOT on that list.

The collection of stories I’m catching by coming online randomly at weird times over two weeks is…fascinating.

Quite something to walk into a store in small town Portugal and realize the local shopkeeper is discussing MN, in English, with a customer who appears Scandanavian. Both absolutely horrified but not quite believing when we chime in to say yeah, he was already restrained and on the ground. #uspoli

No one should have to shoulder this burden.

Take care of yourselves, in whatever form that takes.

For personal reasons I am so unplugged right now, but I do need to say that I’m so fucking proud of everyone in MN (and everywhere else people are doing the work). None of this should be necessary, and you should not have to shoulder this burden, but y’all are amazing.

Ooooh, they’re bringing back Mexodus for another limited. NYC, this is a big rec for me! Definitely worth getting a ticket.

Ah, the lovely fun of opening apps in Europe and being like: ah yes, every one of you companies KNOWS how to ask for consent, but you just don’t give a shit about it unless there’s a gun to your head.

And you wonder why we get mad when you don’t offer opt outs and egregiously track us at home.

This list change comes at the least convenient time for me, as I’m now traveling for two weeks with unpredictable internet time.

Which is to say, @ me (or Discord DM me) if you need me to see something. If you have my phone number, preferably signal or whatsapp to text.

Well, two days in, can report the list experience is now much more out of control and overwhelming with reposts. The 2026 repost experience is exactly the news deluge I’m trying to control.

@support.bsky.team, we need the option to turn reposts on and off by individual users.

Just a reminder that NYC has an app called Curb that calls yellow cabs and, based on the check I did just now, has identical prices to Lyft and Uber.

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

Good morning. I read this dispatch from a comrade in Minneapolis this morning and thought that some of you might appreciate it too.
TEXT: Out on patrol with two friends this morning and I kept seeing the beautiful web being woven in Minnesota right now. Not with new materials but woven with wisdom into what was already here. I could feel this net with my hands, this connection as we passed that group of three on the corner of Cedar and Lake, this connection as we listened to someone doing dispatch while their kid yelled in the room behind them. I thought of this today stopping by a locally beloved Mexican restaurant to grab some food for the family and having the owner step up with tears in his eyes and reflect on how much they feel cared for and then the security guard stepped over and asserted that this is what we do, we care for our own. He said, tell people we have them, we've got them and we will keep them safe. All of the worst stories you read are true and there are more of them than what shows up on social media, but there is also this, everything I am writing here in the same morning, driving over to northeast and a junior high has just done a walk out, they are lining a major road in their "are those pants they look like pajamas" clothes and all are holding signs and I am on the phone with someone and I burst into tears when I pass them. This is a net and I remember this very old fishing net someone showed me years ago, guiding my fingers to feel where the net had been repaired over and over again, like scars in the fibers that strengthen rather than break. ICE is sharp, knives that cut with small knicks and sometimes great full arm thrusts that shove and tear through this connected set of scars and fresh material and there are wounds and this is violence and some of you beloveds are being stopped on the road because of how you are read and I am not being stopped and none of this is ever ok and still, I feel the pull and tug of the net that is larger than anything I have experienced TEXT: before. Is there anyone in these cities not showing up in some way? I can't remember the last time I saw or heard anyone have words other than how can I show up? There is a net and it has always been here, it is always here, it's just that sometimes it's hard to see and all that is happening in Minneapolis is that some of the confusion is fading and what is visible is the link and weave and stumble and steady between us. May we keep repairing it as it frays, from those outside and from the rising tension we hold within and may this net grow with wisdom and may bodies tired of holding themselves up alone someday feel like they can relax into the steady certainty of something much bigger than the size of their skin.
