Also, @seanhollister.bsky.social has been hanging out with the Whistle Coven, and wrote a piece about it! The opening line is "Kit Rocha and Courtney Milan have a knack for drawing attention to a cause."

Our chaos field has been immortalized.

1K ARTSHARE!

Doing my 1st ever artshare for reaching 1000 followers.

Just for fun, I’m adding a theme - if you can, post something old, something new, something borrowed (fan art), & something blue.

Keep it SFW. Don’t just drop & run; interact w/ your fellow artists. I’ll like, & repost all. 🙂

"you might stumble over a whole collective of people resisting in ways you didn't think of. There's a crew of carpenters just going around fixing kicked-in doors. There are tow truck drivers taking cars of detained people away for free...."

From a Comrade 19h. C One of the nuts things about organizing in the Twin Cities right now is that even the most long term organizers who've been here for decades can't keep track of all the resistance that is going on. There are so many self-organized crews just doing work that in any conversation with someone from another neighborhood you might stumble over a whole collective of people resisting in ways you didn't think of. There's a crew of carpenters just going around fixing kicked-in doors. There are tow truck drivers taking cars of detained people away for free. People delivering food to families in hiding. So many local rapid response groups that the number is uncertain but somewhere between 80 and the low hundreds- especially when one considers that several immigrant communities have their own non-English rapid response networks usually uncounted in the main English-language directories. People standing watch outside daycares and schools. This whole resistance has so many poles of initiative and leadership, so many layers of self-organization, that it's extraordinarily difficult for the state to repress or for opportunists be they Democrats or movement-riding parties) to co-opt and control. Of course, that's built up through many years and decades of organization, and not only through explicitiv political campaigns or formations built during times of crisis and rupture like 2020. It is also built through day-to-day mutual aid, culture building, workplace and tenant organizing, and simple, basic relationship building among neighbors and coworkers here. From a Comrade 19h.

Throwback to something worth repeating.
A screenshot of a tweet that says: Your art will betray you. It will look better in your head than on paper. It will make you feel untalented some days. Love it anyway. Because one day, it will also surprise you, fulfill you, and remind you why you started.

One thing I deeply appreciate about AMADEUS is it's one of the few films that accurately depicts the creative process (being clammy, pale, and sitting in your bed).

Funny how the "stick to acting/writing/singing etc" crowd only cares when it's a political opinion they either don't agree with or feel uncomfy about. They never mind if the person is sharing recipes they like, thoughts on friends, travel or other palatable subjects.

Just shower thoughts: somewhere in the world, there is a tree that sprouted the same day you were born and has been growing along with you.
