Lame In Exotic Ways @yourgreatestsin - Tumblr Blog

for anyone in or out of minneapolis, here’s a list of organizations on the ground out here daily helping people i haven’t seen mentioned by other posts sharing resources. most of these are south minneapolis located and/or focused because that’s where i’m located and i’m beyond caring about doxxing myself at this point

joyce uptown food shelf - no questions asked food pantry, in need of financial donations, at capacity for material ones

longfellow neighbors - community fund assisting with rent/utilities, healthcare, legal help and transport access, in need of financial donations

smitten kitten, wrecktangle pizza, and twin cities leather - accepting cash to be handed directly to people seeking refuge and assistance + material donations (specifically requesting menstrual products, baby products, and tobacco), if you are in person they are being physically targeted and stalked by ice agents trying to follow them on their distribution routes and have requested anyone able to show up physically and help drive them away

the familia barber studio - accepting material donations (nonperishable foods and toiletries) and financial donations for a food drive from tuesday 1/13 through saturday 1/17

LSFDistro and north country food alliance - lsfdistro is associated with ncfa as an anti food waste and food delivery service focused on the lake street area which has been targeted by ice agents since mid last year, both are accepting monetary donations, and lake street food distro is accepting material food donations (specifically requesting oil, butter, rice, flour, formula, and toiletries)

here is a mutual aid “clearinghouse” for additional organizations on the ground and direct assistance to families affected by the raids - when i can, i’ve just been scrolling through the list of gfm links at the bottom and donating to one at random

just wanted to reblog this with some quick updates and additions as of 1/20/26

updates:

joyce uptown food shelf - officially will be back open for food donations on friday, 1/30/26. in the meantime, please continue with donating money if possible!

longfellow neighbors - they exceeded their goal of $50k for rent, legal, transportation, and healthcare assistance!

smitten kitten - still accepting cash donations and amplifying mutual aid funds and causes daily on their instagram. they are no longer accepting material donations on site, but if you go they will redirect you to places that are!

wrecktangle pizza - at capacity for donations and closed for the foreseeable future!

twin cities leather - still accepting both cash and material donations on site, they have also asked for donations be made directly towards the purpose of keeping their doors open while they provide for the community. as things stand now they only have the funds to stay open for another two months. they have been hosting free 🖕🧊 t shirt printing in collaboration with a local artist - kurt and karri are gems and have been a massive safe space for community members during the past couple of weeks and it would be such a shame to see them close their doors.

the familia barber studio - closed donations as of 1/19 as they fulfill the needs of everyone that reached out to them for assistance!

LSFD & north country food alliance - still accepting both material and financial donations, specifically requesting money, butter, canned veggies and meat, dried beans, peanut butter, snacks, sugar, oil, and baby diapers

the same clearinghouse is still updating with local immigrant defense organizations and mutual aid funds

additions:

powwow grounds coffee - indigenous owned coffee shop, accepting money and a list of materials for both vulnerable people in minneapolis and rapid response/defenders, shown on their instagram (linked), definitely recommend supporting this one as a patron as well if you’re local!

whittier alliance - after conducting a training of over 800 people on rapid response and community defense against ICE, they are now accepting material donations to support their team of responders listed on their instagram, and have a page dedicated to mutual aid and organizations in need of support in the whittier neighborhood. if you are on the ground in minneapolis, you can stop by and pick up safety gear for protesting and observing.

again, these are places i’m familiar with who i don’t see getting mentioned on other mutual aid/fundraising posts and resources, and definitely not an exhaustive list of vetted and valuable sources of aid and protection for people of color in the twin cities! i encourage anyone local to add additional resources, though i do request that we focus on places prioritizing aid to non-white residents of the twin cities for obvious reasons

starkiddreamcasting

Alright, so in the previous few days I got several messages (some constructive, some not) taking me to task over my previous dreamcast of Evita. So I think I should talk about race when it comes to my Starkid dreamcasts.

My philosophy when making these dreamcasts with the idea that the best actor should be cast in the part that suits them the most, regardless of race (e.i James Tolbert as Jack Kelly in Newsies) but for several shows the race of the actors is extremely important to the casting. There are several shows I really want to create dreamcasts for (Ragtime, Dreamgirls, Hairspray, etc.) but I won’t until there are enough poc actors to fill those roles. Evita was a show I went back and forth on whether to do because of this, hence why I sat on the idea for awhile.

I ended up creating the Evita dreamcast however, after doing research and finding out that Eva Peron, most of people presented in the show, and most of the population of Argentina at the time, were not poc. With that in mind I thought I’d do this dreamcast as I usually do them and release it as a fun thing for Eva Peron’s birthday.

I’m sorry to the people who found the Evita dreamcast as whitewashing (A position I understand considering the score is very Latin inspired even if the characters in real life were white, and I don’t mean to say having white people play the roles is more correct than having poc actors play them). Thank you the people that were constructive in their criticisms, I have tried to do my best to not whitewash these shows and cast poc roles correctly but understand that I can do better and am open to ways I can improve. But to the people that chose to curse me out for this, please don’t as that doesn’t help anyone.

a list of [just a few] different types of astrology

Astrocartography – The astrology of place. It examines how people respond to the various energies available to them across the globe. Astrologers that practice this type of astrology help others find spots where they can better engage with specific themes in their lives by examining a special type of astrological map.

Chinese Astrology – A group of traditions that arose independent of those in the west with their own mythos, techniques, and philosophy that bloomed throughout the long history of Chinese cultures.

Cosmobiology – A school of astrology credited with popularization by German astrologer Reinhold Ebertin that is related to the Hamburg School of Astrology. There is a primary emphasis on mid-points and 8th Harmonic aspects, and the significant expansion of medical astrological principals.

Egyptian Astrology – A retrospective school of astrology that uses the rich Egyptian mythos to examine Zodiacal relationships. This should not be confused with the type of astrology practiced in ancient Egypt from roughly 2000BC-100BC that served as a foundational precursor to the Hellenistic tradition, since the concept of the Zodiac was developed elsewhere.

Electional Astrology – Also known as Inceptional Astrology, this branch of the tradition is focused on finding the best time to start new projects so that they meet with the greatest success and abundance.

Esoteric Astrology – The types of astrology that examine spiritual principals and seek to build corpus knowledge of esoteric ideologies by examining the mundane motion of the planets and stars as well as their hidden relationships.

Evolutionary Astrology – Astrology that focuses on the supposed evolutionary path of the soul. It is used to foster individual growth and spiritual expansion in accordance with many new age principals.

Financial Astrology – Astrology that examines financial markets and their timing according to transits in order to forecast market changes. This branch of astrology also examines natal potential for money making, as well as uses astrology as a tool for discourse about global economic trends.

Hellenistic Astrology – The type of astrology practiced in the Mediterranean from roughly 100BC to 600BC that reached its height during the Roman Empire. It is the first western system to incorporate the 4 fold system of astrology that became the foundation of all later practices.

Horary Astrology – Divinatory astrology that examines the moment in which a question is understood by an astrologer in order to find an answer for the querent.

Jyotish – Commonly conflated with Vedic Astrology, Jyotish is the main form of astrology practiced in the Indian subcontinent in the modern era. It represents a hybrid of indigenous Indian astrology with Hellenistic techniques. This type of astrology is sidereal, or constellation based.

Magi Astrology – A secretive form of astrology that examines relationships and their timing according to a different set of astrological standards.

Mayan Astrology – The tradition of astrology practiced in the Mayan culture that arose independently of western influence and ideology.

Medical Astrology – Astrology that examines the relationship of the human body with the alignment of the cosmos. Used to forecast and diagnose predispositions to certain health issues, as well as provide recommendations for greater over all health and wellness according to the natal potential.

Modern Astrology – The various forms of astrology that have been practiced since its revival in the late 1800’s. There has been a marked increase in the importance placed on the Sun sign, and a focus on the psychological potentials indicated by the natal chart.

Mundane Astrology – The astrology of large groups of people and their interactions. Transits are examined in order to explain and forecast global trends and events.

Natal Astrology – Astrology centered on the natal chart of individuals. In the modern era this is the most widely used form of astrology.

Psychological Astrology – The examination of the natal chart as a set of psychological predispositions. Based on this foundational premise the astrologer can help guide and counsel the native with traditional psychological techniques.

Rectification – An extraordinarily advanced astrological technique that examines the events of a native’s life and works backward in order to produce a time of birth for those that do not possess it. A time consuming and expensive process that is a necessary precursor for all advanced forms of astrological work.

Relocational Astrology – The supposition that natal capabilities are amenable to the influences of locality. Examines the shift of potential that a native faces when living in different areas.

Synastry – The astrology of relationships. Two charts are examined concurrently in order to reveal themes and potentials that may be present as the relationship progresses.

Traditional Astrology – The various forms and traditions of astrology that were practiced during the almost 3000 years of its history prior to astrology’s revival in the late 1800’s. There is a marked focus on mundane astrology and examining the lives of natives from a deterministic standpoint.

Transit Astrology – The examination of the current or future positions of the planets in relation to a natal chart order to see the themes that are currently active in a native’s life, as well as forecast future trends and events.

Uranian Astrology – Another branch that is related to the Hamburg School of Astrology that focuses on midpoints and uses theoretical planets as part of it’s arsenal of techniques. It is sometimes said to be the true successor of the Hamburg legacy.

Vedic Astrology – The indigenous forms of astrology of the Indian subcontinent that arose independent of those of the west. There is a distinct lunar focus (as there are with many of the oldest forms of astrology). This system was eventually merged with ancient Hellenistic techniques in order to form what is now known as Jyotish.

Vocational Astrology – A specialized form of astrology that examines the inherent potential within a natal chart in order to recommend potential career paths for a native and help them navigate their professional life.

Weather Forecasting Astrology – The type of astrology that is most popularly used in almanacs. More advanced techniques and philosophies in use by astrologers range from every day forecasting to major climate prediction.
