ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

ICE is not some far away boogeyman. They are here right now, spreading fear in our community. We’re so grateful to our entire staff and their bravery. They did the right things and couldn’t have dealt with this situation in a better way. We are grateful to our community activists that came to support us from @miracmn @litosonlake and Monarcha. We hope that if you find yourself in the same situation, that you find these resources helpful. Peace and take care of each other ❤️ Photo by Christina Nguyen on December 04, 2025.

WE ARE HEARTBROKEN THAT OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES IN THE TWIN CITIES ARE BEING TARGETED AND TERRORIZED BY THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION. THESE ARE REAL PEOPLE THAT ARE BEING USED AS POLITICAL PAWNS AND IT'S APPALLING. REGARDLESS OF THEIR LEGAL STATUS, THERE ARE SO MANY LATINOS & SOMALIANS WHO ARE AFRAID OF BEING DETAINED DUE TO MISTAKEN IDENTITY BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY MIGHT NOT GET DUE PROCESS & A FAIR TRIAL. THEY WILL JUST END UP IN DETENTION CENTERS & A LEGAL PROCESS THAT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A BLACK HOLE. WE STAND IN SUPPORT OF OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY, WHO ARE THE BACKBONE OF THIS COUNTRY. WITHOUT IMMIGRANTS, AMERICA IS NOT THE SAME PLACE. STAY SAFE OUT THERE & TAKE CARE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS. LOVE, HOLA AREPA & HAI HAI (5/5)

Judging levels of “oh people I actually know are on here” vs “I am posting to the void” before I end up posting wildly unhinge* takes while in the newborn trenches again**

*very mild

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.
I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting. The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The "known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson. So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself." 1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium. Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary. Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

Deeply tired of fitting into stereotypes in the saddest ways.
The American way, meaning I know of so many ways people in my life have died due to failures in our many systems.

Watching White Collar for the first time; it’s delightfully refreshing to see the dynamic of foster parents (FBI agent and his wife) attempt to parent a troubled kid (love sick con man).

"New post notification from CPSC."
A family out on an afternoon bike ride. They are being pursued by a rabbit which is, rather suspiciously, the size of an adult elephant. The son, cracking under the pressure of being at the front of the group and making the situation about himself says "Why is this happening to me!" The father, at the back of the group and in the most immediate danger says, "Less talking. More pedaling, son!" The text reads: always wear a helmet especially when escaping from suspiciously large rabbits on your bike.

Listen. The reasons I know I’m a wife guy* is that I can’t stop obsessing over my spouse.
They do everything for me, including helping me be a better person by their existence. Most of my growth has been “fuck, I need to get my shit together so I can get on their level”

I look to this piece by Seth Tobocman and keep it to my heart when I need it
Illustrated print- Several upturned face look away from the top of the US capital building. Below, someone stands next to a body of water, pulling endangered people from drowning. The text reads “The government does not care. We, the people, must help each other!”

Happy International #HorseshoeCrabDay!
Heinrich Harder (German, 1858-1935) Pfeilschwankrebs (Horseshoe Crabs), 1916 Collector Card from Tiere der Urwelt (Animals of the Prehistoric World) Series I
commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Li...
Image: vintage card, color illustration of a pair of Atlantic Horseshoe Crabs in an underwater scene, with artist name printed bottom left More info: Horseshoe Crabs (Xiphosura) have been around for a long time...their fossil record goes back over 440 mya! This card illustrates the Atlantic Horseshoe Crab (Limulus polyphemus), one of four still-living species and the only one native to the Americas. Also, their common name is misleading - they are not true crabs or even crustaceans, but rather chelicerates, making them closer relatives of arachnids and sea spiders.

One of the greatest pleasures of slowly no longer being sick is coughing up and seeing mucus leaving my body. Disgusting? Yes, but oh so satisfying.

I’ve been sick this entire week so my partner has been pulling double the weight of parenting PLUS taking care of me so I did the sexiest thing I could:
Arranged for a month of consistent babysitting times so that maybe just maybe we can feel human again

The best part of being a nonbinary parent is fully embracing random parental stereotypes when it suits me. Why yes, I am Sports Dad. I will host a tailgate from my Soccer Mom minivan before the game.

report with alt text

community-led arrest preventions or de-arrests are incredibly effective. UK antifascists have done this to great success to protect refugees over the past 5 years. all about how quickly you can get people on the street to crowd the scene
NBC News: ICE came for their neighbor, so these Tennesseans formed a human chain to protect him. Neighbors delivered food, water an gasolin to the man, who was with a child in a van, as ICE agents stayed at the home for hours.

A siamese mix cat at a desk dialing a number on a smart phone. He has a blank look. On the desk are various cat toys (spring, mousey, chew stick) mixed with writing tools. The bg is a bright yellow. A more zoomed out view of the cat yelling loudly into the phone. The bg is bright red, and filled with the text "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH" in white block lettering. On the desk now you can see some ink bottle, a quill pen, post it with an exclamation point, and papers.

Kurt Vonnegut man
Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope: "Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."

I have made CHEESE BOYS
A photo of a sculpture made of colored Sculpey Clay. The sculpture is based on the Richard Scarry drawing of 6 mice riding in a car made out of a triangle block of yellow Swiss cheese. The little happy mice poke their heads out of the holes in the cheese. It's really cute imo, he popped off when he drew this one. The entire sculpture is about three inches long and fits in the artist's hand. Another angle of the same sculpture. Another angle of the same sculpture. The original drawing by Richard Scarry. It has words under it that read "Have you ever seen a cheese car on the highway?" No Richard, I haven't, but I would cry from joy if I did.
