The E Hennepin Auto Services snow pile is the sidewalk clearing final boss.

been working really hard the past few weeks on submitting my first first-author manuscript. did I miss anything while I was away, Minneapolis?

Bike lanes coming to E Hennepin this week. (🥳) That’s an extra few feet between this bus stop bench and literal semi trucks.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Waste, fraud, and abuse is the U refusing to bargain in good faith with the Teamsters who take care of our research animals! Animal ordering has been paused for nearly a month. Experiments (on grants that are time-limited) have been delayed. The value of animal care workers is beyond obvious.

using the concept of intelligence to distance oneself from others is a eugenics framework. it also just makes more sense to be specific in stating the root of someone’s actions (i.e racism, homophobia, selfishness, under-education, etc.).

"Claire Thefaine agreed about feeling unsafe on a bike... “I have not had a single day without an incident that has left me shaken up. It can be grating to hear the people around me discussing standstill traffic on their commute when I fear for my safety and life every day on mine.”

“Firefly populations are declining” ok then explain this

Also, if you're able to handle potential medical expenses sooner (because you do have to take care of your cat), senior cats can be very good, calm companions and you can give them a loving, happy home for their final years. Seniors are frequently much calmer and tend to just chill out, too.

Nothing wrong with adopting a kitten, but adult cats are great and usually less of a handful! And if you can only take on one cat (for enrichment/social reasons you should have two), you can often find an adult that doesn’t get along with other cats.

re: becka thompson || it is so hard to see everyone making armchair diagnoses to explain her behavior. Idiosyncratic belief systems do not a psychiatric condition make, and using this language further stigmatizes already highly stigmatized disorders. ~your friendly neighborhood bipolar~

I know that construction projects take awhile to complete, but is it too much to ask for adequate signage while they’re completed? Had a semi-truck come at me head on for the 2nd time today while traveling down the two-way bike path on Rollins Ave SE. @ward2.minneapolismn.gov
