The horrors pair well with tea. We're always saying this. 🖤

Send us your art and THEN do your taxes. Time is running out for both, but one is WAY more important (the art)! Actually, don't do your taxes. We've seen where that money goes.

🖤

We're still CRAVING art! Send us some! Or else! 🥰

UPDATE! We still want your art, so we're extending the art submission deadline to April 14th! Show us what you're craving... We wanna see it 🖤

Ugh, spare me with your Reality Competition Shows unless the contestants are actually from alternate realities.

MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @governorwalz.mn.gov fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, this would be the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.
