I’ll post a picture of mitten #2 as soon as it’s done. Probably a ❤️MN or something on it. I’ll open to suggestions.

Yeah, we’re raffling.

You donate to help keep MN neighbors housed.

You email me your receipt pic at

gtfoMNmittens@proton.me

I enter you to win these. Every $5 is an entry.

This is mitten pair #4. #2 and #3 got more than $4k and less than $5.

Let’s break $5000 donated, shall we?

They are still kidnapping our neighbors.

Abolish ICE.

On Thursdays we get video of our kids doing yoga at daycare and I regret all of my life choices that led me to where I am and not to where that yoga instructors choices led them.

A bright green and dark blue mitten. Thumb is solid blue, and rest of the mitten is a tessellated diamond pattern with a striped cuff.

I don’t know what the dollhouse is but yes, you absolutely do that.

If I let in all the grief at once, I’d be completely incapacitated.

I tried not letting in any of it so I can “keep going” but then I found myself crying at arbitrary times throughout my days.

Shower sobs it is. Not to be mopey, but to stay human.

You can't possibly make it up, but you sure as heck can believe it once you've lived with a 3 yo.

This is for MN people who need giggles.

Sounds from downstairs
[toddler crying]
Spouse: I know it's hard
3yo: I am not going to drink the bath water again
S: I don't think you can stop
3yo: I can stop

*pause*

S: See, you didn't stop.
3yo: This time, I won't drink the bath water!

Yeah, dunking on strangers on the internet is fun, but have you tried meeting people in your actual community and showing up to organize and make your communities better?

I believe Nathan Fillion would mess with me. But Gina Torres wouldn’t play with me for nothing, right? Morena Baccarin wouldn’t hurt me on purpose, right? Not in 2026. Not when things are already so bleak.

If you stop caring about the lives of children, start thinking of children as expendable in your war, you are in moral freefall.

I know it’s not the first time. Gaza wasn’t the first either but it is where they most recently normalized it.

But you should still be horrified.
You should still be able to grieve this.
We must.

‘The most bitter news’: Iran reels as more than 100 children reportedly killed in school bombing The building appears to be among many devastated in Trump’s ‘major combat operations’ as long expected attacks arrive

I get that the politics matter, but try to recall that they matter because of this. Our government killed dozens of CHILDREN IN A SCHOOL today.

Gentle reminder that social media is often the worst place to hang out when really bad things happen.

Minnesota folk, you have a whole lot of new local friends. I humbly suggest you go make plans with them to do something to make something better today, instead of doom scrolling for hours.

I went through it, so I don’t want anyone else to ever have to go through what I did.

I try to be the person I needed. Always.
