Hey y'all, figured I should introduce myself. I'm a former hospital lab tech, former software tester residing in Minnesota with my husband and two big floofy cats. I am a fur, but a more...mainstream one, I guess? It really is an interest and I'm largely disconnected from the culture. (1/?)

Tiny personal flex: I'm really proud of this present I sent with my last Japanese penpal letter. They got a sticker and a washi tape sampler, including some I got at Pride 💜

見て下さいね~

Depending on the rest of the country to step up for Minnesota right now. Protest like your lives depend on it, cuz as the events of this morning have thoroughly pointed out to me, they just might.

Governor Walz has recommended that we cancel No Kings events across Minnesota because the individual who assassinated a Democratic lawmaker is still at large. For the safety of all involved, we are cancelling events across the state that are not already underway.

Governor Tim Walz @governorwalz.mn.gov · Jun 14

Out of an abundance of caution my Department of Public Safety is recommending that people do not attend any political rallies today in Minnesota until the suspect is apprehended.

Just makes even more of a case, albeit in the most tragic possible way.

After targeted shooting of two state representatives overnight, Indivisible Twin Cities says #NoKings rally will still go on today: “In the face of this horror, we will mourn and mark our determination for a peaceful, just, democratic future”

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government.

That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

When MN Democrats last held the gov trifecta until 2024, they had a narrative that they’d been given a trifecta so they could use it, not waste it. Hortman herself said, "The reason you have political capital is to do something.”

Progressive on a number of social justice issues like Francis, hasn't always handled sex abuse allegations well (but none of them have), more moderate than Francis but definitely more progressive than other frontrunners, first American Pope, which will be...controversial right now.

I have lost faith in the federal government for the umpteenth time in the span of four months.
Thank God we have some semblance of LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent rights here in MN. Never leave, @governorwalz.mn.gov!

This art is a newly created art for the cover of my art book. The size of the original is A4, which is a large size for me.
