       I really enjoy taking myself out to eat at places outside of my (fairly white) neighborhood. I'm across the river this evening (providing transportation for someone) and I am thoroughly appreciating the fact that Minneapolis -St. Paul and inner-ring suburbs are *nothing* like the extremely WHITE place I moved to 33 years ago. Cities change. Minnesota and the Twin Cities are NOT perfect. (Thank you, DOJ report!) But we are more inviting, more expansive, more accepting, than we used to be.

       Yes, I KNOW this is a fairly racially sheltered view. I am a white woman, I have spent my life in white spaces, by which I also include spaces where POC are welcome as long as they code-switch to be "acceptable." I am speaking as an outsider to BIPOC, AAPI, and other POC experiences. I know the Twin Cities have a LOT of fucking need for improvement. But, still. It's better than it used to be.

       And, YES, this a companion post to my earlier encounter with an openly-tattooed white supremacist in the pharmacy.He's a fucking dinosaur. They ALL are. Christian Dominionism is a pathetic minority of people in the U.S. All those fucking buffoons, they are loud and they are frightening (and they are more frightening when they are NOT loud) and they have money and they are trying to DRAG the U.S. into this apocalyptic power fantasy ---But they do it because they are scared.

       Never forget.Never, ever, forget.We fucking *terrify* those buffoons.The future belongs to the youth, to immigrants, to people of color, to queers, to neurodivergent folks, to ESL speakers, to furries, to sex workers, to single parents, to socialists --The future is not and will not be what racist misogynist transphobic forced-birth kleptocratic autocrats want.Stretch out your timeline. The next 5-30 years may SUCK. But those buffoons have lost the rest of the future and they know it.
