ICE agents forced to flee Minnesota neighborhood due to car alarm alert system

Frustrated Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers fled a Minnesota neighborhood after residents alerted each other by triggering car a

Basically, people are using their key fobs to set off their car alarms when they see ICE.

This is effective for several reasons:

Obviously, it alerts everyone that something is wrong. Given ICE has been terrorizing Minnesota, people are likely to immediately know it is ICE. This gives people time to flee or barricade themselves in their homes.

ICE loses the element of surprise.

If one person hears a car alarm go off, they can trigger their own alarm, alerting even more people, but also making it really annoying for ICE. Annoying sounds petty, but it can be effective. Have you ever been in a building when a super loud fire alarm went off? It's very hard to concentrate. You can't hear much else. You just want to leave. ICE experiences this when a whole street if car alarms go off. Which means they make mistakes.

This was how we were alerted to ICE attempting to gain access to our apartment building. This 100% works.

for pride month I'm wearing a gay-ass shirt every day of the month

day one! (shirt from NerdyKeppie)

[covington-shenanigans]

day two! yes, obviously I have both "Mr. Faggot" and "Mr. Dyke" versions of this shirt. it's like you don't know me at all

(shirt is also from NerdyKeppie. a lot of them will be)

[covington-shenanigans]

day three! Middle-Aged Queers is a band out of Oakland and they are my favorite queercore punk band. go listen to their music. you're welcome.

[covington-shenanigans]

day four! during the early pandemic the New York City Gay Men's Chorus ran a couple of virtual seasons, which were open to anyone. I started one of the virtual seasons before realizing I could not do another zoom meeting regularly, even for singing. they sent me the t-shirt anyway, which was nice of them.

[covington-shenanigans]

day five! this shirt is also from NerdyKeppie and it rules

[covington-shenanigans]

day seven six! we've already covered Middle-Aged Queers, so let's talk The Homobiles. The Homobiles is a peer-to-peer ride share service that precedes both Uber and Lyft and serves the queer community of the Bay Area, regardless of the rider's ability to pay. it is also "the bay's mainstay queer punk supergroup", according to the pull quote on their bandcamp site, and I believe it. The Homobiles features, among others, my beloved faggot dyke Unka Lynee and role model Lynn Breedlove, formerly of dyke punk band Tribe 8, which basically invented punk rock. Lynn founded both the ride share service and the band and is cooler than all of us put together.

a couple of choice quotes from Lynee, my fellow dyke who's also a man:

"I'm a feminist and I'm a dyke and I fucking hate men and I'm a man. I identify as a dyke and as a guy. People are pissed off about that because they want you to pick a side. Really, my choice isn't about you. I don't tell you to lop your tits off, and you don't get to tell me that I can't be a dyke and a guy. That is just as repressive as any of the bullshit that we're rebelling against." [source, 2005]

"I like to wake people up by turning concepts we take for granted on their heads, with goofy takes on what we like to analyze to death. So if people call me a freak, I’ll use it and defuse it just like we do dyke, fag, tranny, queen, queer, cunt, bitch, whore, and other phobic epithets. And then I’ll appropriate and spoof straight white male culture too, like I did in Tribe 8 by getting blow jobs onstage, especially from straight white non-trans men. That’s how I roll. I did have one guy try to console me by telling me I didn’t have to call myself a freak; I don’t need consolation! They can’t laugh at me if I’m not taking myself or them seriously. Camp is an empowering tradition." [source, 2010]

one of the funniest conversations I ever had with my ex was when they were still getting used to Celsius and asked me "what's 20 degrees?" and instead of converting it, I said "it's the highest your dad will ever let you set the thermostat and when you say you're cold he tells you to put on another sweater, we're not made of money" and they went "oh, 68"

the fact that this reference was that fucking precise was something they went on to tell people about for years.

i had a thought of "do people not know what AUs are anymore?" and then i remembered nobody explains fandom stuff to new people anymore so it is entirely plausible people genuinely don't know what AUs are and nobody has explained it to them, so for today's lucky 10,000:

"AU" stands for "Alternate Universe" or "Alternative Universe" (same difference) and is basically any thought scenario for a fandom that isn't canon and can't fit within the canon universe. If it takes place in the canon universe but something is notably different, that is typically what's known as a "Canon divergent AU," because it diverges from canon.

an AU can be absolutely anything. There's a couple of widespread pan-fandom au scenarios that often get thrown around, like coffee shop aus, genderbend aus, hanahaki aus (hanahaki is a whole thing in itself i'd recommend researching on your own), etc. One you might hear sometimes is "crossover AU" which is when you have characters from one fandom interacting with characters from another.

You can have as many aus as you want. They can be whatever you want and you can do whatever you want in them. It's a sandbox for you to play around in and explore how things would be different or how the characters would act in those circumstances or environments. Maybe they have different relationships with each other. Maybe they behave slightly differently. Or you can just say "Okay, [x] is true. How did they get here? How would things have to be different for this to occur?" which can also be fun.

If you are ever confused about why people ship something that seems completely out of the blue or doesn't make sense to you in the canon setting, there's a good chance they like it in an AU setting! Not everything everybody is interacting with is necessarily the canon! Not everybody wants things to exist in canon and just want to explore playing dolls in a different sandbox and that's okay. And their sandbox might look a lot different than yours, and that's also okay. You have the freedom to make your sandbox whatever you please. Do whatever you want forever. Get funky with it. AUs are fun.

Okay that's my schpeal. everybody go have fun and play nice now.

the worst writing crime you can ever commit in my opinion is watering down the dirty talk because you’re self-conscious that it sounds like it’s from a bad porno…..i cannot stress this enough……leave it alone. the moment you tell yourself he would not fucking say that you’re doomed. people will say almost anything if their dick is hard enough
