what's happening in Minnesota

I've been trying to find time to write this post for the last three days because I want to use my platform, limited as it is, and have not had time. Even while typing this up, reports are emerging that someone else was shot by ice agents tonight (Wednesday, Jan. 14), so I am trying to keep this as detailed but brief as possible. I mean this with absolutely no exaggeration: the Twin Cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul, are currently under occupation by federal agents.

Deployment of mass military/paramilitary forces to "blue" cities is not new of course (DC, LA, Chicago), but the Twin Cities are a much smaller metro area and have a lot more agents deployed relative to our population size. Mutual aid groups are scrambling because so many people of color are very understandably terrified of leaving home and being snatched off the sidewalks or the bus stop or at school dropoffs. Minneapolis Public Schools is allowing distance learning until mid-February.

I can't stress enough how many other abductions and atrocities I am missing from the following list because it has been nonstop, but a few highlights of the regime's blatant human rights abuses and atrocities are as followed:

again this is just the tip of the iceberg and some incidents that have been spread around more widely. ice agents are going door to door with weapons, they are following people who are organizing aid distribution, they are targeting businesses that have stepped up to help the community. protesters showing up at the whipple building where ice is detaining people know that it is extremely likely they'll be detained or have chemical munitions deployed against them just for gathering outside the building.

pay attention to what's happening in Minnesota, start organizing in your community, and please for the love of god do not give one more ounce of attention to that motherfucker jacob frey as he goes on his podcast tour while allowing MPD to arrest protesters and aid & abet ice operations. pay attention to news and reports from: Georgia Fort, On Site Public Media and Toussaint Morrison, Sahan Journal, social accounts of Minneapolis Council member Jason Chavez, Unicorn Riot, and MN ICE Watch.

Editing to add because I included this later in the reblog chain: if you're able to donate, you can find a list of vetted Minnesota mutual aid organizations as well as fundraisers for individuals/families at Stand With Minnesota.

end of january affirmations

im not doing anything wrong and no one is mad at me

there must be a place for me in this world because here i am

my art doesnt suck

instagram is nothing to me

“no one’s ever mad at me unless they tell me so” is the best assumption i’ve ever made

sorry for tagwatching but you still have to act like they aren’t mad at you imo! bc it’s the mad person’s duty to make it known if they want anything changed. it is never anyone’s duty to be a mind reader.

If I am mad at someone and am remaining Quiet about it, it is because I Do Not Want them to know that I’m mad.

Please respect my boundaries and assume that I am Not mad.

If you’re worried that I am mad, consider the possibility that I am mad for reasons I know are stupid and do not want to make it your problem.

Ohhh that last addition opens my eyes in a big way, thank you.

every single school teacher should get paid $300,000 a year minimum and ICE agents should all die simultaneously in agony. this is my congressional budget plan

It’s ok to post this

GO MY GERM 🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠

I had the idea to do a cell model cosplay beamed into my forebrain like visions from an angry god a few weeks ago and started working on this immediately. and good lord this was the most fun ive had on a project in a long time. like seriously it was so fun getting creative with these materials and thinking about fun ways to do all the organelles. while working on this i probably went "hehehehohohe" at least once an hour.

I think i'm going to name this guy Prota Z. Bacilli. If you look closely I do have every basic organelle that you'd expect from a cell model. (and thats a flu shot lol.)

also please appreciate this costume iteration because. i had to get my mail in this and freaked out my mailman.
