I'm not saying anything new here but Signal really is one of the safest and most secure ways to communicate. You just have to make sure you're sure the person you're adding to a group chat is who they say they are. You can also set up your chats so they disappear/content deletes automatically.

You know... that makes a lot of sense. I turned 30 in January 2020 and it still doesn't feel quite right that I'm now 36 already somehow because yeah, that does feel old.
reminds me of a friend who explained why recent years have felt so weird to so many millennials here and it’s because “we went into the pandemic young people and came out of it old”
I spoke to a woman at the protest in minneapolis and she explained she wanted to be there in part because "i was a kid when george floyd got killed" and i nearly dropped my recorder

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

It's still so cold here that between the temperatures and the sleet we got on top of all the snow turning into ice, I basically just Legolas-walked on top of most of the non-plowed snow while taking a super brief walk around my neighborhood to check on the state of the roads. 🥶

I'm about 80% of the way done with my Dancer Petra costume and been stuck waiting for a zipper to really finish fitting it and while I think it's looking good so far.... if it gets on my body and turns out looking garbage, I may cry.

My dice have rolled like such garbage this week that I'm thinking about taking them outside and setting them in the snow for a bit to try and teach them a lesson.

I am trying so hard to hope that it being so cold now means we'll have a comfortably warm Katsucon but I'm sure it'll be frigid too knowing how this year is going.

I know I probably wouldn't exist if she hadn't but snow storms like this one make me deeply regret that my grandmother left Hawai'i and therefore I didn't grow up there. I am a hot house orchid and not made for this weather.

When I got top surgery and didn't have supportive family to help me, it was a house in the Phillips neighborhood that took me in and cared for me during recovery. This was the neighborhood that made me fall in love with Minneapolis.
Please help if you can!
Please help if you can!
The Phillips neighborhoods are being targeted because it has the highest percent of residents who are not US Citizens. This fund will help feed, provide basic necessities and allow our immigrant neighbors to stay housed for 65+ families (and counting).

Shout out to my fabric stash for coming in clutch yet again. The extra fabric I bought for to make Winter Retrac Celchu dress already contributed to my fancy Tifa Lockhart costume last year and has now saved the day for my Dancer Petra costume. It's nice to use materials I already have on hand.

Does anyone know if there's any good reference for Bellara's scarf that gives an idea of the full embroidery pattern on it? I've obviously got the BW released cosplay starter pack images and I've taken a lot of screenshots of the Arlathan's Splendor cloak but wasn't sure if there was more/better.

I'm sure you've heard this before and I don't want to sound like a scratched record but if you're someplace that doesn't usually get storms and cold like this one, or you've only recently moved to someplace that does, treat this fucker with the respect you would give a kaiju.
