I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

It is your patriotic duty to mock these people. Mercilessly.

You do not need to traumatize yourself to be a better person, a better activist, to better oppose the people and forces engaged in this murderous evil. You just need to know it's happening and take action.

Counterpoint: you can and some of you will give yourselves honest to G-d PTSD watching it. Doing that will make you less able to maintain your life, to experience the joy you need to be resilient, to nurture the relationships that will support you, and to be an effective activist.
I understand why some can’t watch the video and absolutely support that choice. But if you can, I think you should. Yes, there have been so many of these over the years; *and* these are escalating times. It’s not more the same, it’s worse, and we need to face that best we can to change it.

All those people downtown yesterday, no ICE involvement, and not one incident. ICE shows up in a neighborhood and now another Minnesotan is dead. It's pretty obvious who the violent outside agitators are.

For all the focus on Rambo cosplay, *this* is what an uprising looks like - masses of ordinary people coming out, seizing space and building barricades out of whatever the fuck they can find.
It is incredibly difficult to subdue a city once ordinary people start doing this shit.

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"

2025 was a weird, liminal time for me, nestled between two major life moves, where it feels like I accomplished nothing yet everything has been set in motion for a huge adventure next year. Good or bad, 2026 is definitely going to be *interesting*!

Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.
Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

The next time someone tells you Coca-Cola invented modern Santa, you can lay one helluva WELL ACTUALLY on them.
One of the earliest-ever modern portrayals of Santa Claus features him gifting Union soldiers with a jumping-jack doll of Jefferson Davis dangling from a noose - as drawn by political cartoonist Thomas Nast.

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"
