If you don't know Minneapolis, north is a very vulnerable neighborhood in our city, and it hasn't been seeing the same influx of resources as south Minneapolis has.
We're raising funds to help vulnerable northside families cover rent & bills. If you can, please SHARE THIS this or venmo @nipinet.

You can tell that the police are an unjust institution at their core, because whenever two groups face off over issues of civil rights, liberty, or basic humanity, they're always, without fail facing the wrong way.
At 26th and Nicolett in Minneapolis this morning—
Feds have just shot another person in the streets. Furious community members are gathering. State police and conservation cops here in front of ~50 federal agents.

But you see, these AREN’T the only 7 Democrats who supported giving ICE more money. The Democrats OVERALL support it. These 7 are just the latest rotating villains selected to take the fall while the rest pretend to oppose to fundraise. That’s why it’s always EXACTLY enough Dem support votes to pass
these are the 7 house democrats who voted to give ICE another $10 billion on thursday btw

Today is the day. Right now hundreds of Minnesota businesses and institutions are shut down. Thousands of people are refusing to work. There’s a massive picket at the airport. Minnesota’s resistance to ICE today is changing the tenor our fight against fascism.

Not to be all doomer gloomer yugiboomer, but a huge part of the reason I struggle to keep up with advanced format is that I just find modern Yugioh pack structure exhausting.

I've enjoyed makeup so much more since I adopted the mindset that, when I think I've fucked everything up, I might as well fuck it up harder while I'm here.
Since I'm probably gonna wipe it all off anyway, I can kinda get away with trying to go bolder, or do something I've never dared to before.

One thing they don't tell you about 2008-2014 Yugioh is how many friend groups had a team name and a team Thing™️, or how often that thing was a team rap.

I've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history.

All right. Here's one I've never done before:
If a anime/manga has both a popular Japanese title and a popular English title, English speakers should just call it whichever sounds cooler.

Of all the speculations of what Neuromancer and cyberpunk had to show us, the one I never imagined was...
Instant access to what William Gibson had to say on the subject.

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.
we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)
