some more good news from Minneapolis

[mellowtigger]

I was following the news on Mastodon yesterday as it was posted, even late at night. The city failed to evict another homeless encampment, although they may simply choose another day when fewer than 100 people show up to defend it. Crowds are much more effective than just one old greybeard ("Hello." *waves hello*) standing alone in front of the SWAT tank. Yesterday was also notable for the manufactured drama, trying to produce reasons to evict these people.

"The city said the eviction was put on hold due to the large activist presence."

And, for a visual mind cleanser, here's a photo of Hope sitting on her bed on the bookshelf amongst the foliage at my living room window yesterday afternoon. Never underestimate the value of nature indoors on mental health.
