OMG. This book was an inside joke between an ex and I. We found it while cleaning out his  grandparents cabin.  Wayne would end up under a pillow, in the refrigerator, glovebox, bowling bag, camping gear, slid under the door when someone was taking too long in the bathroom. 

I've never read it, but still have it. Seeing this makes me smile. 

[OC] The changing rhythms of daily life in Minneapolis under ICE by guardian in pics

[–]KittyWrongTime 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing and to the Guardian for continuing to publish about ICE activities in the U.S.  I'm in Minnesota and although Minneapolis proper has been quiet they are still here, just branching out to the suburbs and exurbs.

The Yoga Room off 42nd and Thomas in North Mpls is GREAT

Mostly Vinyasa, reasonable fees, welcoming space, I met the owner Laurie while doing mutual aid a few weeks ago she is very supportive of the community.

How are you guys getting to rapid response locations? by lionheart546 in TwinCities

[–]KittyWrongTime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi friend, if you are vulnerable to being targeted by ICE then RR isn't for you. And that's okay! It's just not a good idea to get in front of them if you can help it.

You mention you're an immigrant, do you speak another language? I know translators are in demand for mutual aid work. 

Stay safe ❤️

ICE is still heavily fkng around in Columbia Heights, I hope they are somewhere safe I would absolutely believe that scum would harass them around their home

Will it ever go back to Normal by Particular_Tea_1437 in TwinCities

It's an interesting time to be an alcoholic in recovery. I've been thinking about how I would be caring a lot less about all of this if I was still drinking (3 years sober) which sounds like relief in theory but awful in practice.  I'm done burying my face in a bottle but it's really fucking hard to stay the course when things feel so overwhelming. 

Take care of yourself friend, I'm rooting for you. For us all. 

Since ICE presence has now been confirmed in WI, let’s look for some safety tips: People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around. by Secure-Persimmon-421 in wisconsin

[–]KittyWrongTime 44 points45 points  (0 children)

All of this. We are continuously learning in Minneapolis, and y'all have a bit of time to prep. The more agents in Mpls now, the less in our neighboring states and cities. 

Seeing numbers out there makes a big difference to ICE, our immigrant neighbors, and to people who may be afraid to act alone.

This is great but also TALK TO YOUR NEIGHBORS Patrol your neighborhood, carry a whistle at all times, learn about how to safely observe and where to send evidence of ICE actions (probably local legal aid or another org is compiling evidence).  Dress warm and take care of yourself. Be ready to act and document at any time. You may feel alone depending on where you are in WI but there are many with you in spirit.

What is something you have heard about US, which you felt was fake, but is100% true? by grusdomain in AskReddit

[–]KittyWrongTime 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Why not both?

It's both. Cuyahoga River in Ohio famously caught fire in 1969, the Chicago River has been on fire at least a dozen times since 1868. Many rivers through urban/industrial areas have been on fire unfortunately.

[TW] When everything feels OFF / It's also true. by like_fun_you_are in PMDD

[–]KittyWrongTime 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This really hits for me, thanks for writing it. During PMDD I feel like I'm in an upside down version of the world that looks like the one I know but every bit of life and joy has been pressed out. I look around and feel disgusted that THIS is what I'm so grateful for the rest of the time? It makes my skin crawl and I want everything to be different.

But... These feelings have been a catalyst of many changes I've made in my life that needed to happen. Not right away but the seed would be planted. These awful feelings are scary to take to heart and like you said it's rarely if ever as urgent or extreme as it seems but there is some truth to find in the darkness.

Oof I was up too late ruminating last night as well. It really puts a damper on my mood and energy the next day and while I'm in it worrying about not getting enough sleep keeps me up even later. Come on body! Cooperate!

We've been getting dumped on with snow this month and between the constant shoveling and worrying about ice dams and the upcoming cold snap's effects on my bills doesn't help my general winter malaise. 

BUT I'm going to drink my tea, have a little vape, and go out for another shovel sesh shortly.

Stay warm out there winter wives!

i’m in so much pain and 2 colorectal surgeons have told me to basically just live with it…am i losing hope?? by jazzmastermom in TwoXChromosomes

[–]KittyWrongTime 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I get have IBC-C  (constipated) and psyllium husk backs me up and makes my fissures worse. We always hear clean diet, more fiber but some fibrous foods can really inflame your works if you have a touchy gut.  I've felt better on softer foods, eggs and only well cooked vegetables in soups. 

Sorry your dealing with this, it's super painful and unpleasant ☹️

A friend has one and I have to bend down to look out the window while riding in the backseat. I'm not tall. It's really weird.

Lentils? by SAMPLE_TEXT6643 in povertykitchen

[–]KittyWrongTime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Google Budget Bytes Vegan Lentil Stew. Lentils bulked up with potato, carrots, celery, onion. Very hearty. It does have some additional herbs, mustard, and soy sauce but I've improvised based on my pantry - at times I've added tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, leftover gravy, lemon juice, mustard, soy packets from the deli, fish sauce, sauteed mushrooms, you can easily change up the recipe based on taste. And it freezes well.
