Everyone loved the Somali street fries, green apple sucker ice cream, bison meatball sub, and sweet squeakers. No one liked birthday cake cookie dough on a stick, chicken fried bacon fries, cinnasugar crust tidbits, dill pickle iced tea, land of 10,000 cakes, smashadilla, and the uncrustaburger

Hey, an occasional reminder:
Should you be fighting fascism here in the US? Yes, you should!
Are you the one who decides how best you can do that? Yes, you are!
Should the people who decide that you're not doing it right (i.e., the way they want you to) fuck off into the sun? Yes, they should!

How shocking. Who could have seen this coming.
Most recently, Justin Eichorn was one of five MN senators to co-sponsor the bill that would define “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a mental illness:
'Trump Derangement' Bill Co-Author Arrested for Soliciting a Minor - Racket
Plus linking the Grand Rounds, the kids who captured a 'Most Wanted' criminal, and a little arts roundup in today's Flyover news roundup.

NEITHER MINNESOTA SENATOR HAS MADE A STATEMENT ABOUT HOW SHE IS PLANNING TO VOTE.
So they both need to hear from you, if you're a Minnesotan.

It's so funny when a customer says "How do I get your job? I'd love to get paid to knit all day!" This is a shop sample, not a personal project, and it's the last thing I get to do after stocking, cleaning, helping customers, making social media, scheduling classes, & filling orders.

For the record, do I think a one-day boycott is going to make much of an economic impact? No. Do I think that a sort of "Baby's First Boycott," performative though it is, might be useful to make some folks aware of the impact of their economic power, and how it might be wielded politically? Maybe.

It's #wipwednesday so here's how things are going in my world:
- two samples for work, one knit and one crochet. I'm not counting the two sample quilts that need binding.
- two projects for The Snips spring show. I have a third item in mind, but I should probably finish the first two

Biggest Pet Peeve: telling someone that their form of protest doesn’t work or shouldn’t be done like that. THROW EVERYTHING AT THE WALL RIGHT NOW. Do what you want in the way you want. Mind your business about other people’s approaches. #EndScene

The really fun thing about getting involved for the first time is that you don't actually have to do it all from scratch yourself. You can just show up and do tasks assigned to you by people who already know what they're doing. It's much less stressful! And more effective!
If you’re new to organizing and you’ve decided to organize something, please, I beg of you, talk to people with experience in organizing. A logo or a catchy slogan aren’t enough.
