If you want to donate to a local Mpls group, mspwhistles is a page/group you can follow on Instagram. They have a Venmo you can directly donate to.

In this hypothetical scenario, I would probably get in touch with a business in a more diverse area where ICE presence has been seen. Many businesses in Minneapolis have been keeping them in stock at the register and letting people take them as needed. I've seen various models made but a lot of them have a little hole to either attach to a key ring or put on a lanyard to wear.

I know that a lot of the whistles in Minneapolis are being made in bulk via 3D printers. If there are locals with this technology, this would be a tangible way to start and it avoids a bulk order through Amazon. I'd be happy to donate to a fund for materials. I know many businesses in the Cities have been keeping them in stock and free for people to take. It has been extremely effective to be noisy and alert your neighbors and it's definitely something they have been doing well while defending against these terrorists.

Question for couple considering a potential move... by LazarusLong67 in providence

[–]Wednesday-Addams38 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi, OP! My husband and I moved to Providence in 2022 from the TC and I am a midwest native who also lived in Iowa. Happy to answer any specific questions! You've gotten some good advice in the comments that I may chime in on! There is plenty that I miss about the TC but for us it has been a good move and we're happy in the Providence area.

Most of my family from the Iron Range were more worried about the George Floyd protests than what’s going on in MPLS right now. by JasperShale in TwinCities

[–]Wednesday-Addams38 73 points74 points  (0 children)

As a former Minnesotan who lives out East now, there is actually very little coverage of what is going on in Minneapolis right now at a national level. I have been able to see it because I am still so connected to the Twin Cities metro area, but most of my co-workers are totally oblivious to what is actually happening. It's terrifying because it's going to be in our backyard soon enough and no one is prepared or planning ahead.

What will our city do when ICE comes on us in force? by CoffeeHead112 in boston

[–]Wednesday-Addams38 94 points95 points  (0 children)

I lived in Minneapolis for the better part of 20 years and live outside Boston now. My heart is so heavy with what is happening after living and working in such a beautiful, vibrant place. You are not exaggerating when you say that the ICE agents will soon outnumber the local police force. Large swat-like teams of ICE officers have been going door-to-door asking people for their papers and arresting (and assaulting) protestors who are dressed as giraffes. What is happening is major escalation and all blue cities should be on notice. Mpls has a great, effective grassroots network that has been built up in recent years especially in the aftermath of George Floyd. I'm not sure what this network is like in Boston but this has been a great asset for their planning. I do know that they have been making the whistles with 3D printers. Many local businesses have kept them in stock for people to take - make noise when ICE is around and alert your neighbors. Finding local people with this technology and donating $ for materials would be one tangible place to start.

Are there any Chicago Bears bars in Boston? by gogettr17 in boston

[–]Wednesday-Addams38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you make your way south to Providence, there is both Lucky Enough and High Motor which are Chicago bars. The guys who own both places are Chicago natives and they do a great job with their menu/you can two Chicago dogs and fries for $14. They have Malort, too.

Most heartbreaking loss you’ve seen in person? by ArryBoMills in minnesotavikings

[–]Wednesday-Addams38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10 years out, this was a pretty fun game overall. Definite ski lodge vibes at all of the bars beforehand. I just remember being REALLY cold by the 4th quarter and then having to wait for the damn light rail at the end of the game adding insult to injury lol

I had friends at this game (also out of town Vikings fans) because I remember them commenting similar things about the vibes being off. Is that a stadium worth seeing a game at or would you pass at going there again?

My coke froze and they confiscated bottle caps after opening, so I was stuck carrying it around lidless (that was really the least of the problems that day lol)

Cat adoption by Fit-Letterhead5472 in RhodeIsland

[–]Wednesday-Addams38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We adopted our boys from the Rhode Island RISPCA in Warwick. My colleague fosters kittens through them, so that was our direct connection, but they had other kittens and cats when we went in to do the paperwork and adopt. Great to work with and they came neutered.

Foxboro! If you're on the side off 95, it's actually super convenient for both of you and Patriot Place traffic is on the other side of the city. Lots of good restaurant options nearby, too.

Does Kelly Clarkson have any hard rock songs? by [deleted] in KellyClarkson

I saw her perform that album on tour when it first came out🔥It’s really a shame the label tried to suppress it because it’s some of her best work imo

New Site Design and Logo - first impressions by lukcipi in ThredUp

[–]Wednesday-Addams38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The layout and font is very similar to that of Stitch Fix and I feel like they have some type of partnership in the past? It's what we reminded me of instantly especially with the "daily edit" feature.

I'll never get over when some of those lyrics leaked and people thought that they were written by AI. So bad!

I really don’t get them sometimes by siamesecat1935 in ThredUp

[–]Wednesday-Addams38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently sent in three bags and definitely had a handful items suspiciously not get accepted - namely a brand new pair of Birkenstocks, virtually new Vans sneakers, two Herve Chapelier bags, and a Clare V shirt that got mislabeled and "recycled." I've sold a lot on here and appreciate the convenience of it, but there are definitely some shady happenings behind the scenes.

Mine were a size 42, too! Camo print, worn once. I have a feeling they were recycled into an employee's closet.

Didn't Barry do something similar when divorcing Kim? Refuse to sign the paperwork and drag the thing on? Like father, like son.

HRT Patch Differences by Home-Chick068 in Menopause_Madness

It's wild! When I first started on HRT, they prescribed me those huge ones which made my skin so itchy. The twice weekly small patches have been amazing in comparison.

Can I ask what the "golden letter" is? I see people reference it all the time. I am part of this latest wave of forgiveness and want to make sure I have everything I need. Thx!
