Summer in St Paul. the ale and the anticipation of Eggroll Queen food keeps me focused in the beer garden of @summitbrewing.bsky.social.

Huh. Post-Convergence social media wash from my devices is kinda great. Bluesky, Discord, and private forums are WAY better for my brain right now.

Tim Walz made sure to take the garbage to the curb before the hubbub got started.

Kid is in hour X + 4 of Minecraft Dungeon crawling with her pal in the last hours of a sleepover, where X is a level consistent with moderate enjoyment and a minor lack of sleep. No notes, but now I have to get her to CLEAN.
