Today is the 5 year anniversary to when I slowly started losing my mind during the pandemic and began dressing up as works of art.
As my Twitter account has long been abandoned, why not make a thread of my madness on BlueSky?

And all the shit certain state and local officials didn't do, yes.
AND endless love for the ones who DID show up--elected officials, community organizers, businesses, moms, EMTs, journalists in bathrobes, you, me. 💜

I was out w/ a friend tonight and she got me a Valentine card and a candy necklace!
It made me realize how much I miss Valentine’s Day as a kid.
Assembling valentines and candy for all my classmates. Seeing what I got in return.
I wish there was an adult version of that beyond the romantic stuff.

Do you park around Snelling/University or Selby/Dale in the winter? Were you also not privy to this pilot winter parking restriction rule? Here’s a pro tip from someone who doesn’t pay enough attention (might save you a $60 ticket!): www.stpaul.gov/news/saint-p...
Saint Paul Declares Special Winter Alternate Side Parking Rules in Two Pilot Areas

UPDATE: He was just released. This shows that just indiscriminately took someone because they were Latino. Their illegal tactics continue so we still need neighbors to patrol, observe, and support our immigrant community.
Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Using AI on Notepad is like … I don’t know, carpeting the room your water heater is in. You do not need to do it, and all you do is create more opportunities for something bad to happen.
In fact the whole point of notepad is that it is as barebones as fucking possible.
The AI features added to Notepad created a critical exploit vulnerable to loading a compromised txt file.
The fix is part of Patch Tuesday, so update your systems.
AI is not a feature I ever desired in Notepad. I should look into some alternatives...

Minnesota still needs your attention
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

For our ice breaker (ugh) at our division meeting today, we all had to break into small groups and say what our astrological sign is.
I really can’t imagine a more cringe worthy ice breaker.

This continues to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard. And that no one follows up and calls that out is maddening.
KNOTT: Why is it that there is so much tension in Minneapolis/St Paul right now?
SCOTT: Because paid agitators are actively trying to stop law enforcement action. Without that, you wouldn't even have any idea most of these arrests were taking place

We could be housing homeless people, providing healthcare, funding our schools, protecting our environment… no let’s make more concentration camps for brown people.
I hate this.

In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:
- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown
This is unprecedented.

I’ll support any form of public opposition to ICE. At the very least, I think it helps to show other supporters they’re not alone.
That being said, if you do have red hats, ICE-out shirts and other apparel, please do proudly wear them in public.
Don’t let it be only for a social media show ❤️

Please don't accuse people in knitted hats of only wearing their supposed politics if all you're doing is posting, which is basically just another way of wearing your politics. It's a silly thing to attack people over in any case. Using fashion to signal support for ongoing acts of rebellion is good
