TikTok is already being turned into a propaganda machine.

A lack of ability to see criticism can persuade users to think that means there’s (unanimous) support.

That, AND it’s collecting your data for whatever purpose it wants, & I bet at least a few of them you’d be horrified by.

Just delete it.

If you love short quirky stories told and recorded beautifully, you’ll love the podcast series Mirror Falls. Tod Maffin is a master story weaver, and with Mirror Falls he’s found just the right mix of place, plot, people, and poetry to relax our over-worried brains.

If you'd like to escape our fraught reality (not to mention the bleak midwinter) for awhile, I highly recommend Tod Maffin's utterly charming new podcast, Mirror Falls. After listening to the first two episodes, I feel refreshed, like my soul has had a little holiday. ❤️
It’s a nice town, Mirror Falls.

Sits on the north end of Vancouver Island. About 400 people live there.
It has what you expect:
• A coffee shop called Dark Side of the Moon
• A gas station called The Gas and God
• And a faulty electrical system

Meet the town and its secrets... Tuesday. #podast

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.

In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.
