Hi hello my name is Max and this is my main blog

I am a Minnesota Wild and Twins (primer) fan primarily, though I am a NY (Yankees/Rangers) fan by birth (my Generational Curse) and have a (small) soft spot for Seattle teams (my "local" teams that I'll go see/watch every once in a while) as well as My Guys who are no longer on my teams. Also getting into the Seattle Torrent but might not be able to watch much.

While I'm really excited to move I'm also so fucking stressed and frustrated and I'm not sure what to do. Part of the reason I disappeared is because I know that I'll take it out on people that don't deserve it and it's better to just quietly isolate myself so that doesn't happen but goddamn I'm lonely. I'm still not going to be on here much if all, though I did feel like I needed to explain and give a little update.

[gusbuses]

Hello. So I know I said I was leaving here and blah blah but y'know. The hellsite always pulls you back in even just for a bit

Anyways so one of the main reasons I've been having a borderline mental breakdown and left here is because I'm in the process of moving. And it's not just a short move back over to Oregon like originally planned, but instead halfway across the US to Minnesota

So uh. Yeah. Early July. It's happening. Yay

[gusbuses]

soooo.....I've decided that I'm going to be deactivating after doing some crossposting/backlogging on my dreamwidth. which is going to take me a bit cause I've got too much shit on both my blogs lmao

anyways, this'll still be up for a bit cause I haven't even started that yet. idk why I feel like I need to give a heads up honestly, whatever

[gusbuses]

okay I lied. i'm not deleting but I am leaving for good. it's been fun and i've enjoyed meeting, talking, and becoming friends with some of y'all! I will be over on dreamwidth, I also have a guestbook primarily for my (now kinda abandoned Neocities oops) but feel free to drop by if you'd like!

I'm gonna be real, I haven't been on here much of at all in the last month or two and it's been so nice cause I keep getting super pissed off every time I see certain things even when I have them filtered. Which means I'm just gonna. Stay away from here for who knows how long.

Anyways if you need me I'll be on dreamwidth (for fic stuff mostly but I might start craft posting there too idk) and.....yeah that's probably it. Bye

I don't remember who said it but (paraphrased)

Trans men aren't treated like women actually we're treated like trans men and the world fucking hates trans men

Has been on my mind lately because that's a really good way to think about a lot of things generally. I dislike the premise of defining your oppression by saying you're 'treated like' a demographic you aren't part of. Like, I've never liked the idea that intersex people are only marginalized for our proximity to transness. I'm not "treated like a trans person" by society. I'm treated like an intersex person and the world fucking hates intersex people.

This applies to a lot of things. You don't have to compare your experiences to people who aren't you for those experiences to be real and for you to be deserving of support.

Lost another mutual to the hockey show. So few of us remain, and I fear we cannot hold out for much longer. We cannot get out. They have taken the bridge and the second hall. The end comes soon. We cannot get out. We hear drums, drums in the deep. They are coming...

MASTER LIST OF WAYS TO HELP IN MINNEAPOLIS

(this list is mainly ways non-locals can donate but by extension offers a lot of resources and places to volunteer in the Twin Cities + there are specific ways to donate time under the cut which can be adjusted to your local neighborhood)

🩵Mutual aid funds & community support

American Red Cross

🩵Donate food or other goods

Mpls.St.Paul Magazine – see Food Drives and Fundraisers.

Volunteer your time (under the cut)

🩵Mutual aid

Reach out to your neighbors – especially if you know they are staying home right now – and ask if they need groceries or toiletry items. Offer to pick up prescriptions, give rides, or shovel their driveway. If you know them well, bring them a treat that you know they'll enjoy. Or just ask them how they're doing and let them know you are there to support.

Connect with any of the orgs above and see if they are looking for volunteers.

Connect with a church or mosque in your area. From u/MuddieMaeSuggins: "I know a lot of regular Redditors are not religious (myself included) but like it or not this is a where a lot of community organizing happens, especially in immigrant communities."

Connect with your local school's admin office and/or their PTA. It's ok to reach out even if you don't have kids at the school. PTAs are organizing mutual aid for school families, safe rides, school observers.

🩵Activism

Find an official protest or other event via Indivisible, 50501, FREE AMERICA, or MIRAC. Students at many high schools are staging walk-outs; if your local school is doing this, reach out to school leadership or the PTA and ask how you can support as a community member.

Join the effort to stop Hilton from housing ICE by booking hotel rooms and then cancelling at the last minute. This action can be done from home! The effort is being organized by Sunrise Movement, who are telling activists to target specific hotels one-by-one. More info: SHUT DOWN HILTON

Find people in your area who are actively monitoring ICE and/or stationing themselves in high-traffic areas and ask how you can help. Check for local FB events where people are organizing and just show up.

At minimum, read the COPAL Handbook before you go out to observe. The DFL, Monarca, and other orgs have been hosting online trainings for constitutional observers (though these fill up quickly).

When you see ICE in action, start recording. Be as loud and as disruptive as possible: honk your horn, set off your car alarm, blow your whistle. Let people know that ICE is in the area. If you see someone being detained, try to get their name and a phone number to call their emergency contact.

If you do not feel comfortable observing ICE in person, there are ways you can support from home. Just ask the people who are organizing in your area. I have social anxiety, and I had never participated in any kind of political action before this past Saturday. If I can do it, you can!

Local organizers are requesting that people who help monitor ICE DO NOT participate in 1-to-1 mutual aid efforts, as these can put the families you are helping at risk.

If you have friends/acquaintances who are sympathetic but not politically active, reach out to them. Show them that they're not alone in feeling helpless. Pick a few low-commitment actions from this list and do them together.
