A few months ago, I FINALLY read this short fiction from our local SF&F author (among other things) Naomi Kritzer (@naomikritzer.bsky.social). It's a post-disaster story, but in the vein of Hope Punk & Solar Punk.

The ongoing weaponization of the Hortmans' murder by petty DFL apparatchiks is pretty distressing.

To me, Christmas isn't about perfection or consumerism. It's about family togetherness. It's about teaching the yule moose to fly. It's about psychicly connecting with the Peppermint Man and viewing his dreams. It's about directing the cranberry gremlins in a stage production of A Christmas Carol.

Every day I get a couple of dozen demands from Zionists that I debate them. And as my platform has grown across Threads and Bluesky, they've only increased.

I don't debate genocide apologists. It's why I turn down interview requests from shows that platform Alan Dershowitz and Bari Weiss,

There are so many people living lives of quiet dignity despite horrific medical news or poverty or tragedy where every day they still wake up and try to be good people in the world even as the world pushes against them and it makes me even angrier at the absolute shitheads that rule over things

I spent the first 20yrs of my adult life without dental insurance and, therefore, without dental care. I now do my 2x/yr and just got done with my winter cleaning. The mental wellbeing alone is incredible.

We absolutely have to include dental care in Universal Healthcare plans, especially for kids.

ICE is literally camping out in their cars near schools. They are preying on us when we're trying to collect our kiddos from school.

I need you to do whatever you can to fight this fascist shit.

Minneapolis, ICE is fucking your city up, stealing your neighbors. A lot of us are showing up, chasing ICE off, coordinating with business, protecting schools at release. Good on you, and thank you!

There are LOTS of ways to show up! Connecting with your neighbors is step 1.

Love, and solidarity!

Brutal day in Minneapolis, but there were some shining moments of neighbors stopping some abductions, kicking Nazis out of some spaces, chasing them out of others. And there were about 1,000 ppl on an excellent ICE WATCH training zoom led by States At The Center and Protect Rogers Park in Chicago.

So when the gods accept human sacrifice, it's fine, but when they leave and a woman takes matters into her own hands (& knife) to call them back, suddenly it's a problem 🙄

This also means your at-risk neighbors are going to need you, trusted connections, to step up and help with transportation.

#Minneapolis, word is our Somali community - our NEIGHBORS - are getting dogpiled on social media. Stand up and make noise for our neighbors! They need us! Be kind, AND brook no bullshit from bigots. Do not engage, just block. Deprive them of your attention.

If Stranger Things was remade today and set the same number of years ago as S1 it would be in 2003 and instead of a resurgence of a Kate Bush song it would be Hoobastank, the kids would dress up for Halloween like Neo and Trinity. No I can’t prove this is actually correct I am not going to do math.
