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?

I finally kinda snapped at work today and told one of the supervisors in an email how undervalued our leadership team makes me and my teammates feel.
I don’t know that they’ll care. But it felt good to at least say how I feel.

Hey Twin Cities peeps:
Who do you use for doing your taxes?
The gal I used is cutting loose most of her clients so I gotta find someone (or something) else!

I finally binged Heated Rivalry while doing laundry today.
I thought it was fine, although I don’t think this one is a rewatch for me. But then again very few shows are 🙃

Apparently this is a show I need to check out?

Non-Minnesotans, be clear on this: the *one and only* thing they do is racial profiling. The *only* thing. Ask anyone here! If you look nonwhite, Latino particularly, ICE will target you. It’s really as simple as that
Homan: "When they say 'stop racial profiling' -- that's just not occurring. ICE will briefly detain and question somebody based on reasonable suspicion. It has nothing to do with racial profiling."

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Ducks still make me think of @danawessel.bsky.social
Today I saw sleeping ducks and they were the cutest little things, just snoozing away in the sunshine on an ice-covered pond next to Long Meadow Lake.

Hug your kids or they'll grow up to be ICE agents.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Is Benihana the most romantic Valentine’s Day dinner location? No.
But hey, I am a supportive spouse. If he wants a glowing pink flaming onion volcano that sounds like a choo-choo train, he’s getting a glowing pink flaming onion volcano that sounds like a choo-choo train
(Seriously, what is this?)

The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, but the administration has continued jailing people indefinitely.

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.
