If you're looking for a good, centralized collection of fundraisers for people and organizations doing on-the-ground work in Minnesota right now, someone on Bluesky put together a great resource hub for things like food support, rent relief, mutual aid, and immigrants' rights centers that I'd really love to see spread around.

And if you're local to the Twin Cities, there's a "Take Action" section with links to ways to get active, as well as some resource guides for legal observers, etc.

Those of us here in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the metro area appreciate every bit of support we can get right now, especially with the federal government cutting off things like SNAP benefits for Minnesotans and threatening further retaliation. Keep us in your thoughts, and maybe pick a cause to support, if you can.

Reblogging to add that the person who put this together has turned it into a full-fledged website, if that's any easier to spread around!

A directory of places to give to as Minnesota defends itself from ICE occupation

Boosting this again in light of the end of the month drawing near. It's looking like the federal government may at least be forced to issue SNAP benefits to Minnesotans, but there are still so many families struggling with things like rent right now due to the ongoing situation in the Twin Cities, and a number of local businesses in similarly difficult positions -- many of which participated in the general strike last Friday in solidarity.

I know many folks don't have a lot to spare right now, but with February drawing near, there are a lot of people and places here struggling to pay their bills. Please consider helping how you can.

Writing tips:

“You feel the bulge in his pants” - implies that you are feeling some guy’s penis, may be sexy depending on context

“You feel the bugle in his pants” - implies that this guy has a military horn in his pants, invites confusing questions like why does he have that and how big are his pockets

Both options convey that he's horny

I love getting older. I’m hotter, more confident, more intelligent. Ageism is a dirty trap. Don’t get caught in it.

hello a question. what are beginner horse riders tending to sit on if not their butts? why do they need to be so frequently reminded to sit on their butts?

Because they don’t! Most humans have DOGSHIT POSTURE and are EMBARRASSING and GHASTLY TO BEHOLD.

The natural instinct of the Untutored Monkey in Distress is to tip forward shambolically, clinging to the ancestral tree, like a bereft shrimp. This is the unhandsome posture in which people answer emails, sit upon fellow-creatures, and, regrettably, attempt to flirt.

It is clearly mildly frustrating for any horse to tolerate this clinging-to-the-neck behaviour. In addition to the lack of decorum, you’re forcing their neck to hold your bodyweight. They can’t hear your signals and you are constricting their movement, like a child who accepts a piggyback ride, and then throttles you.

Correct posture, I’ll quickly remind us all, is SHOULDERS OVER HIPS. The weight of your upper body should be balanced through the spine which means OVER THE HIPS, you horrid shrimp. 🦐

This posture is so rare, and so alien to basic humans, that it feels like a synthetic adjustment. Many untutored humans genuinely struggle to connect their body with this instruction. A rider in a position of calm connection feels - to a common lay person of poor posture - to be leaning backwards.

So riding instructors say: sit on your sitbones. Lean BACK. Sit on your BUM.

It’s like the common riding instruction to put your heels down. in truth, the correct posture for hunt seat and other active disciplines is flat-footed. You have to scream “heels down” to get the Average Body to assemble their skeleton into a connected, responsive posture that will feel INCREDIBLY artificial to them - but the “correct” pose isn’t “heels down”!

Alright I guess I'd better address this

I was NOT in Dallas, Texas on November 22nd, 1963. I was nowhere near the state of Texas, let alone the city of Dallas, on November 22nd, 1963 and I can produce witnesses to account for my whereabouts. ANYONE who claims to have seen a woman fitting my description fleeing from Dallas, Texas on the day of November 22nd, 1963 like it says in the callout post is LYING.

I know vhat I saw.

You'll never prove I was in Dallas, Texas on November 22nd, 1963. Never!

Nothing, Johnny. Don't even worry about it.

Let me settle the 'is it fetishism and is it bad?' debate once and for all:

Being attracted to any kind of body is normal. Fat bodies. Trans bodies. Disabled bodies. All normal. Being extra attracted to a specific kind of body is normal too. Totally normal to have a type.

Not unlearning the societal stigma attached to those kinds of bodies, the people who inhabit those bodies, and the people who fuck them, to the point where you do any of the following:

Only want to date/fuck the person in secret.

Reduce the person to the feature that you desire and ignore the rest of who they are as a person.

Expect the person to be a walking porn fantasy instead of a real person with their own sexual preferences and boundaries.

Would no longer love the person if the stigmatized aspect of their body changed.

Consider yourself superior to the person, think the person should be 'grateful' that you love their body, etc.

See the person as a temporary adventure while planning to eventually settle down with someone whose body isn't stigmatized.

Is bad and harmful and you shouldn't be dating anyone until you've worked on your shit, because this makes you a very terrible partner. This doesn't mean you are a bad person with bad-fetishist-desires who can only desire people badly, it means you need to unlearn societal stigma so you can be a better partner to the people you desire.

Thank you for coming to me ted talk.
