Hello new followers! I'm your auntie who likes to remind you that you are enough.

I swear, I knit, I read and write romance and read almost anything, I am chronically ill. I post about anything and everything and fangirl over BTS and many other kpop groups. Kindness matters. Remember that.

One bright spot today was the rest of the country getting to see how awesome @danielsuitor.com is.

TODAY on @theflytrapmedia.com, and unpaywalled for all, I'm talking about algospeak, cuteification, and the implications of softening language about hard things.

Just a few minutes left to get 20% off everything, and one last fidget pendant to go - tiger's eye on the right there.

Make sure you're hydrating and eathing. I don't care what you're eating today. Fed is best. Get outside and breathe if you can. Make sure to take your meds. Turn off the news and log off social media for a bit. Do something that brings you joy. The rage will still be there, make it joyful rage.

If you don't live in Minneapolis & you know people who do, buy them lunch or some supplies or both. Twice.

Boosting for Gin and hoping we can do some good today and help her cover January's rent. Let's be a light.
Rent is my biggest worry and homelessness my biggest fear. I have been homeless in the past, that experience will never leave me or my anxious heart. If we could get rent paid this week, it would bring so much relief and safety.
$2829 to go now! Just $1329 would secure rent until I start getting regular paychecks again at the end of January. That would be a HUGE relief.

Thank you so much for helping!

People have asked if I still need filament, but everyone was so generous this week that I should have MORE than enough on the way.

So I asked folks in the whistle group to share any wishlists they have, and will be sharing them as I get them!

This one has some fun colors!

You are such a fucking gift. I hope you know that.
The number of posts and replies I've started and deleted tell me I need to log off.

You are a fucking miracle of compassion and light. Your rage is a beautiful fire and with one thought you could burn down the world. Evil men fear you and this is your power. You're a gift and I love you so much.

Affix your safety mask first. You aren't required to see the violence firsthand to grok its existence. Take care of yourself, and to those sharing images, a reminder CPTSD is real. Trigger warnings so people can mute terms is a kindness.

Minneapolis, we love you. I'm so very sorry.

@mxmreads.bsky.social I want you to know how deeply I appreciate you and the deep capacity you have to care and to turn that care into action. I don't know if you hear it enough but you are an amazing person and I'm thankful for you every day.

Another reminder:
- meds
- hydrate
- eat something
- turn off autoplay of video/gifs if you haven't already
- you don't have to watch the videos
- stay safe, be smart
- sometimes it's good to not post (or read)
- shutting the fuck up is a valid strategy at times

If you're looking for ways to help, this is a good one.
ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims.

Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!

it’s also always a good time to put alt text on your images so that people can mute key words if they want to protect their mental health, along with other more obvious accessibility purposes

Always a good idea to turn off auto-play videos; choose what you see and what you don't.

I am having a really bad day but there are people having far worse days and the capacity to inflict suffering is just huge. Empathy and compassion and kindness are what's needed to push back. Empathy and an iron will to not become like the ones who are gleeful in their violence.

Rent is the most urgent... any progress we can make towards having that covered is a real relief. It's all I can think about right now.

Please keep sharing, it really helps! Thank you all so much!
