Adopt A Rent — Stand With Minnesota Adopt the rent of a family impacted by the ICE occupation in Minneapolis

Stand With Minnesota is out of donors for Adopt A Rent, and we currently have way more rent needs than we can cover!

Want to directly support a MN immigrant family in urgent need to help keep them safe and housed?

Fill out our form here: standwithminnesota.com/adoptarent

Thank you! 💐

Some results from last night:

-A pro-ICE NC Dem lawmaker lost her primary by nearly 50 points
-Dems flipped a GOP-held state House seat in Arkansas
-Dem turnout eclipsed GOP turnout in four newly-gerrymandered TX House seats

Trump's midterm reckoning has begun.

A Summer with the Immortal, my sapphic autistic sci-fantasy ecofiction novel, is part of an Itch bundle with 62 other queer books! 😁 Will you help us out?

The Whimsical Wizard is FINALLY DONE!

It's a solo doodling/journaling game meant to introduce people to TTRPGs, and we had a blast playing it ourselves as experienced gamers, too. My end-game sheet is below 😅🤣

Angel and I made this together, and we're super proud of it 🧡 It's a game about being stranded on an island. Your actions cause a rippling effect of destruction.

To build your raft, you can be cautious and care for the island, or rip away its resources and run from your destruction
