The Minish Cap: A token of your sacrifice

 A token of your sacrifice

Nayru’s Charm: Nayru, one of three traveling oracles, is looking for a home in Hyrule Town. If Link ensures Nayru is given one of the two new homes built in the town, he is rewarded with Nayru’s charm. This charm significantly improves defense for a short time after consumption and if Link ever needs a new dose, he need only bring an empty bottle to Nayru in her new home. 

Odin sacrificed himself to himself, hanging by the neck from a great branch of the world tree for nine days, his side pierced by his own spear, so that he could gain great wisdom. You sacrificed yourself to your corporate self, hanging a little noose around your neck for nine years, your soul pierced by the hollowness of your work, all so that you could gain great wealth. On this first day of your tenth year, you aren’t rich enough to feel whole, but you gained the wisdom to know this is not the path you should be walking, but what are you willing to sacrifice to find the right path?

----------

I struggled to feel at home in corporate or office jobs. I still struggle feeling at home in my work, but that probably comes from always having felt like I am a bit different than everyone else. Not better or worse, just different in an isolating way.

Another isolating experience has been living in Minnesota during the continuing ICE surge. ICE is still snatching people and causing fear. Don’t look away and please demand the US government stop its attack on those arbitrarily deemed undesirable.

Zine: How has ICE helped me as a white man in Minneapolis?

How has ICE helped me as a white man in Minneapolis?




Here is another zine I made to process my feelings as Minneapolis resists the federal forces prosecuting a racist campaign of terror that has begun to kill innocent victims.

If you want to help combat human rights violations, totalitarianism, and ICE, you can donate to the Immigrant Defense Project or the ACLU, but if you want to, you can also buy my zine to print it out and share and all proceeds will be donated to those projects and other anti-ICE projects.


Be excellent to everyone, except fascists.

The Minish Cap: A token from an important day

 A token from an important day

Farore’s Charm: This boon is given to Link if he can secure a home for the oracle Farore, one of three visiting oracles interested in settling in Hyrule Town. This charm moderately increases Link’s attack and defense when consumed. Once Link helps Farore move into her new home, he can visit her with an empty bottle whenever he needs a new dose of her charm.

You don’t really wear bowties, but you keep this one because it was from the day you said, “I do”. Everyone said you all were crazy for having lime green for your colors, but it suited you just fine. It will probably never get worn again, but every time you bump into looking through your closet for something else, it reminds you of that day and all the days that came after.

----------

If you aren’t a fascist, things are pretty heavy here in Minnesota. If you are a fascist, Minnesotans are doing a great job you know you aren’t welcome. Please don’t look away and ignore what is happening here in Minnesota. Face the history we are living through directly.

The Minish Cap: A token to remember the journey.

 A token to remember the journey.

Din’s Charm: This charm is given to Link after he helps Din, one of three visiting oracles, find a home in Hyrule Town. The charm is a consumable drop of power that temporarily turns Link red and increases his attack power. Once Link secures Din a home, he can always return to her with an empty bottle to receive a new charm to use in his adventures.

These simple red bracelets are tied to the wrists of pilgrims arriving at their destination. While these charms commemorate completing a life changing journey, no one would think of the charm as precious or worth preserving. The charm is worn until, threadbare, it falls off when it is supposed to, leaving you with the final reminder that we never truly arrive where we are going and we always have somewhere to travel to next.

-----------

Whenever I get these tied on my wrists at temples during Songkran, I inevitably end up a little sad when it falls off sooner than I expected.

I live in Minnesota in the US and the federal government is still operating a racist terror campaign under the guise of enforcing immigration law. The citizens of Minnesota are banding together to show love and support to their immigrant neighbors and to tell the unwelcome ICE agents to fuck right off.
