Once inspired the NYT Science Times to "try harder.” Now I post about my cats from my perch in the Witch District of Minneapolis. she/her

it’s continuously embarrassing how the Dems have completely given up on oppo research

B.C. adopts permanent daylight saving time. What that means for WA This "spring forward" will be British Columbia's last. The Canadian province is adopting permanent daylight saving time.

another reason moving to Vancouver sounds so appealing

have you called Jacob Frey today?

Don’t worry, you won’t have to talk to anyone. Just leave a message.

This was his actual response to the question “Why hasn’t Target taken a stronger stand against ICE?” (Source: AP; link in quoted post)

This.

Why protect the landed class when the balance is someone losing their home?

Can we please bring back “rentier” as a dirty word?

Ooh, since you know someone who actually delivers the Strib: can you ask them how I can tip the NYT delivery folks? The same person brings both papers, but there’s no tip option in the NYT online payment form (the Strib has a line for delivery tips). Do I have to be up at 5 am and hand it to them?

Gone to Stay
Gone to Stay YouTube video by Freakwater - Topic

As someone raised atheist, have never ever grasped why anyone thinks religious belief is necessary to live and act morally.

Or as Freakwater puts it:

There's nothing so pure as the kindness of an atheist

A simple act of unselfishness that never has to be repaid

When and if the paper *is* delivered, the March 6 front page features a story that ran online two days ago, with the words “heated ICE” in the print headline

Well, that answers my question about where the NYT edition that’s distributed in Mpls is printed.

We cancelled our Strib a few weeks ago but kept the Times so we could taper off our print habit, and: no NYT today.

I went to a friend’s Methodist church and encountered communion for the first time at a relatively late age (14) and I was MORTIFIED. You want us to eat WHAT? And drink WHAT?! How is this not symbolic cannibalism?! I gagged. When I told my mom she allowed that maybe she should have warned me.

A more formal religious background would’ve helped in some instances (a fuller understanding of art & literature, for example), but otherwise I’ve always appreciated the lifelong remove. Not that I inherited the rigid posture of rejection that my mom possessed. Though I do recall one time when

My parents were devout atheists, and my brother and I would occasionally attend services with grandparents or friends whose families were aghast at the heathens in their midst and insisted on it after a sleepover. Like going to a museum, but with less context provided.

@ilhanmn.bsky.social doing the right thing, as usual. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with the rest of these Dem fools.

“Your anger, and for some of you boycotts, did not come up at Tuesday’s meeting. And that’s because your issues are not the toughest Target faces.”

Translation: Target says, “Go fuck yourselves, libs.”

Doctors sound alarm as ICE presence delays pregnancy care Many pregnant immigrants have faced difficult decisions in recent weeks as they balanced having a safe birth and the risk being detained by ICE, Twin Cities health providers say.

We should be so lucky as to have a corps of NHS midwives on bicycles à la Call the Midwife.

But what do you do when your patient needs a transfusion or complicated surgery and ICE is the wolf at the door?!

A good day to remember that multiple local law enforcement chiefs and Our Mayor have made public statements this year trying to normalize and defend pre-surge DHS/ICE. They hunger to return to the old arrangement, not to dismantle the post-19/11, anti-immigrant machinery that made this possible
