New block print! Need the perfect card for that special someone? Hit me up.

My face just got a bit shinier. Also, ow.

Accidentally put about double the necessary lime into this morning's avocado toast. @elen-jayne.bsky.social this is why I let you do all the cooking.

What is up with the USPS? Two pieces of local mail with no or hand cancelations, one of which looks stepped on. Is this happening to anyone else?

Ya know, getting a lyft is easier when my phone isn't on airplane mode. 🤷🤦‍♂️

What do you call a capybara with a jaunty hat and a dashing mustache? . . . . . A chappybara 🥁 I'll see myself out.

'Maybe war will fix things *this time*' and other republican fairy tales.

Oooo, taking steroids and muscle relaxers for my back. Today should be fun. 🫠

Looking back through my notes to myself are wild. Why have I not fleshed this dream out into a short story yet!?

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Of course, when the server asked if we wanted tequila shots @elen-jayne.bsky.social said "yes", I said "por tu", and Ele responded "Yup, for two". Grrrrr.

You can put the Mexican restaurant in the redneck town, but you can't take the redneck out of a town. We were just served salsa and *ranch* for our tortilla chips.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Oh joy. The super urgent email i sent late yesterday hit after the person had left, but before their vacation OoO notice kicked in. So it took me 3 hours of wasted time today to realize I needed to email someone else. What are the odds I get a timely response from them? 🙄

Helped @elen-jayne.bsky.social make my favorite comfort food - avgolemono (αυγολέμονο) - Greek egg and lemon soup. I like mine super bright and lemony. 🤤🤤🤤 So satisfied rn.

Really not a fan that now when my hands get the slightest bit cold they turn bright red and feel like they've been hit with a hammer.

The package I mailed to South Dakota last week took 3 days to get from St. Paul (55104) to St. Paul (55131). Needless to say, it did not make its expected delivery date.

Who still needs whistles? Or wants some to ship? After the post office spread the last box all over the Denver shipping center, my brother's girlfriend had time to re print the order.

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

Discovered today that Instagram had turned on (without my opt-in) automatic AUDIO translation of any reel that shows up in my feed not in English USING AI TO MIMIC THE SPEAKER’S VOICE and WOW it was creepy and upsetting. You can turn it off in “Language & Translations” in Settings. 🙅🏻‍♀️

When people's identities are labeled “not match relevant,” we all have to speak up. We’re calling on @stlcitysc.com to do better. Stand with us. #allforcity

Celebrate being the nonbinary chaos gremlin you are with a new sticker! All of my stickers (made by the amazing stickerninja.com and based on my cross stitched art) are available in MSP or by mail - $3 or 2/$5 + shipping

Somehow this girl finds this comfortable.

Last month, when shit blew up, @elen-jayne.bsky.social sent our immigrant neighbors a note, to show support and tell them to let us know if they ever needed anything. Today they stopped by with a thank you note and delicious chocolates from www.sweetchocolat.com 🥹😭 This is Minnesota Nice. ❤️

Watching both men's and women's curling and I have yet to hear them describe any of the men as 'a curler and a father'. Fuck off announcers.

Combination Eye and Rorschach test. "I'm sorry, that's a Q, not an O. You need glasses and to talk about how your mother abandoned you."

Whelp, tried to use a cab company instead of Lyft. I set a pick up time of 11am to get to my 11:15 appointment, called them at 11:05 and they said they would be here in 10 minutes. 😑 Strike Yellow Cab off the list.

Get yourself a person in your life that loves you enough to make you poached eggs. 🤤

Good read, but hard. A failed society doesn't treasure art & skill over $ & connections & holds this duality that suffering is noble & of one's own making. Suffering is not a cause, but a goal of society & the cult of personal responsibility makes people guilty of not making great art regardless.

As Minnesota's senior senator runs to replace Tim Walz as governor, her votes and positions on Trump, ICE, and labor should be disqualifying to progressive voters.

There’s not a way to negotiate with ICE without selling out some of the very neighbors we’re risking our lives to protect. This is a moral issue. Your willingness to negotiate shows you don’t understand the problem at all or our sacrifice, not that you’re somehow smarter or more rational than us.

I love introducing myself in a meeting with my name and pronouns and still having people mispronounce my name and call me 'she'.

Find out more about the halftime show!

Sex toys on a fascist, dildo power!

Getting Peacock for the month of the Olympics means also getting to watch Liverpool play for shit in the comfort of my own home. 🥲

First outing with my hand-knitted Melt the ICE heats and someone recognized them!! Thrilled!

Did some weekly shopping at El Burrito Mercado, threw in a donation to Neighborhood House, and tipped the staff with the money my MAGA aunt sent me for Xmas. 🎉✊️

Finally finished off my last Target gift card. After the card amount I paid $0.19. And that's the last money Target will get out of me.

Re-upping for people that aren't up before the crack of dawn.

A RedGreen episode about the Minnesota occupation. Would that be hilarious or what? - The men's choir practicing for a hotel concert - creative sign making - accidently gassing themselves showing the best technique to put out a tear gas canister -DIY PPE and then testing it out

Look at these snoozy girls.

Super pissed that Cecil's in Saint Paul is actively welcoming ICE customers, putting their workers at risk. Not that it surprises me, giving the complete assholes that own the place. I'd hope that their complicity would lose them customers, but then I remember what their customers look like.

This is the thing. I’m so glad Liam is home but I can’t stop thinking about the other 3800.

Trying really hard not to read anything into it - but the box of whistle I ordered was completed destroyed by USPS and only ~20/800 survived.

With everything going on, stitching helps me unplug from the news and relax. My latest embroideries - the medieval demons that make you gay. 😘

Hi this is a reminder that Mister Rogers was speaking to us as children when he said to look for the helpers and we are actually the helpers that kids should be looking for now okay I love you you're great

In some positive news, we graduated to B1 in today's Spanish lesson. 🎉

Abolish ICE is the floor: Abolish DHS. Bring our neighbors back. Green card for anyone detained by ICE. And their whole family. Cash settlements for everyone detained by ICE. $1000/day plus all related legal & medical bills, and free therapy *for life*. Reimburse all lost wages. That's off the top.

I really hate being on an interview committee. I can not handle that kind of responsibility.
