When the Subaru salesman said, "I drove this model in Duluth and would cruise right up those hills in a snowstorm, passing all the trucks that were stuck," ngl I kinda thought it was a line... Until tonight. My Impreza just cruised up a hill past 3 stuck SUVs. Didn't slide once 🙌

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

I never studied poetry and have no idea of the "rules" (not convinced there are any), but writing my dumb little poems is bringing me joy right now. I don't care if anyone reads them and I don't care if anyone thinks they're good. What matters is that they're fun.

Remember to do things for FUN. 🫶

MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @governorwalz.mn.gov fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, this would be the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

fighting fascism in the dark
armed with faith of the heart
they flee at warp speed
scared of your authenticity

but friends thrive in your orbit
a nebula of pink, blue, and violet
your strength of the soul
displayed in my window

the only Christmas card worth saving

My matching funds goal was exceeded!!! A huge thank you to @caztastrophe.bsky.social, @mendeia.bsky.social, @fjordski.bsky.social, and @tyranicus.net for contributing. I'll be writing each of you a poem based on your vibes in the next couple days. 🤗

And I just contributed $155 to match your total ❤️

Still sitting at $140/$150 for my matching funds goal. I would LOVE to reach that goal by the end of the day! Again, if you're the one who gets us to that finish line, I'll write you a poem based on your vibes. (In fact, I'll write a poem for everybody who contributed!)

We are at $140/$150 for my matching funds goal!!! If you're the one who pushes us to the finish line with a $10 donation... I will write you a poem based on your vibes.
‼️ I will personally match funds up to $150 for anyone who replies to me with a screenshot showing they donated.

This is going to take *everyone* giving what they can, even if it's just $2. I know we're all treading water rn, but I also know that our community can do this. We need to do this. 🫶
