Most non-Minnesotans have no idea what this means, but to put it plainly: we're raised with not just the expectation but essentially -programming- to assist others who get stuck during the winter. We'll help people we'd otherwise punch on sight if they're stuck in the snow and ice, for zero reward.

This is the level of rage we're at with ICE. I'm not joking to say it's almost physically painful to not help someone stuck like that, and it's worth it because the people stuck are ICE.

The only way we have to express how mad we are above this is channeling the First Minnesota all over again.

The Scandinavians who settled in Minnesota brought with them their Norse understanding of the laws of hospitality: you do not fuck around with winter, that if someone needs help in the winter, you help them as long as they don't actively try to hurt you or your neighbors. Food, shelter, labour, whatever, if you can help in winter, you do.

ICE has violated the "actively try to hurt you or your neighbors" bit of the laws of hospitality, and thus the hospitality has been revoked. They are free to feel winter's wrath against those who would bring harm to the community.

I like to think that Lady Skaði would be proud of her distant children.

this reminds me of the mud wizard who walked through everything without any problems while the police officers kept sliding and falling and getting stuck, you can watch it right here.

for context, this was during anti-coal protests in lützerath which went on for days and included people being forcibly removed, injured, or otherwise violated by the police. they showed up in riot gear against people simply sitting and camping and wanting to protect their forests. it was a really big deal here.

Would you be willing to post the files for these so we can have the best quality copy for printing purposes?

Here's a folder with the files! I couldn't get the last one to PDF correctly with the image, so it's still text.

Chain ply not fly play no ply . Done. Send post finished. Stop typing! Oh Jesus Christ don't capitalize Jesus Christ. This is this is Tumblr don't do. Don't do that. Don't capitalize Tumblr this is the worst drop stop

aw prev your tags made me smile so big!! Thank you and I'm really glad that my little criminal causing chaos made you laugh :) and I WAS able to finish plying my yarn, we reached a "look but don't touch" cold war agreement and were both equally annoyed at each other the whole time 😌
