- Video contains honking and whistles.
- The legion of Twin Cities turkeys causing havoc to normative society continues.
- Totally unprompted, my nephew told me last night he wishes he had a smoke bomb so he could throw one at ICE. And then we could all run away from them.
- For those who ride in the Press Mobile™️, it has been upgraded to include this charging unit, thanks to my dad and his wife. Also on hand: a mobile charging brick. WATCH OUT WORLD. OUR BATTERIES WILL NEVER DIE.
- In Minneapolis, you can still see daylight and it is past 5:30 p.m. It feels good for many reasons. I hope you find your own.
- Banner drop at LynLake.
- Georgia Fort is arrested by assumed federal agents for filming a protest as a member of the press. This is beyond scary.

- Why doom scroll when you can look at this dot-to-dot deer I colored in. My nibs love to do dot-to-dots and then I do the coloring. Saving my booty butt right now, ngl.
- Here is a sneak peek at my latest, unfinished work: Skunk and Mushrooms
