MN State Fair Crop Art Rules are up! And there are some changes, some even shocking assets.mnstatefair.org/pdf/competit...?

you post for numbers, i post so my friends with adhd remember i exist, we are not the same

I want to see the bsky site usage statistics for the 2 weeks before, during, and the 2 weeks after the MSP Feed is down. I have a theory.

Cleaning out a folder this morning and found this delightful item for my wishlist (ha)

was once New Amsterdam.

four non person things that make my life livable 1. Medication and modern medicine (the only reason I'm even alive is bc of daily meds I take) (this is also the most literal thing) 2. my crafts and art projects 3. Fancy beverages (fanciness is in the eye of the drinker) 4. the calm of dawn

Learned a new tip for stuff I make and now "buy a blow torch" is on my to do list this weekend. 🔥 (I promise it is for art!)

I did not know this was a job option and now this is my destiny (Direct link: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8gY1FMk/)

omg

After three days, the most striking takeaway from talking with people here is how *angry* everyone is. Heartbroken, weary, yes, those things too. But above all else, they are furious, and not shy about it. When Minnesotans are volunteering their feelings to a stranger, you know it’s bad.

I better start doing stretches to prepare for my knowledge dump on this topic.

This is also what I think every time I hear an American who is doing nothing huff about "so much for the 'home of the brave,' huh?" as if everyone else is also doing nothing. There is bravery all around if you look. And maybe you could even help.

i feel like you all need this

Tribble.

Somehow my therapist did help me out of the pit of despair today. We ended up in a trench so it's still bad, but at least I can see the sky.

People do not owe anyone else performative outrage ffs

A neighbor stopped by for a visit.

What happened to jolly ranchers?

The tulips are finally starting to burst through the mulch

ICE moved into western Wisconsin from their “work” in the Twin Cities 😡 www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

omg yes 100% very much this (No offense. Your reposts are always a delight and of course I don't mean you if you are reading this.)

My ears will be festive this weekend.

😭😭😭

Every time I drive by the local hot dog restaurant/gun shop/dispensary (conveniently all in one building) I sing "wieners, guns, and weed" to the tune of Cher's Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves and then it is stuck in my head all day.

Would also accept Bring Ya Ass

Holy shit these two photos from Artemis II that were shared just a bit ago.

You know what? I want to hear about what COMPANIES are doing to reduce their effects on pollution and waste. I don't care about saving twelve cents. Reusing a jar isn't going to save the world. Quit putting it all on consumers.

Folks in Minnesota are starting to get these. If the Feds are issuing you a citation for your work protecting our neighbors, contact our local National Lawyers Guild. They're working to coordinate legal defense of these petty offenses. nlgmn.org/contact/

The Daleks were right.

I have no interest in this man’s problems

Our Lady of Perpetually Online

I wish it was easier to tell people how important they are to us while we have them Our culture doesn’t give us room for that I wish it did

I will never get used to a Reynauds flare. Bodies are a scam.

BREAKING: I'm suing the federal government for access to evidence in the shootings of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and Julio Sosa-Celis. It's astonishing this lawsuit is even necessary, but in Minnesota, nobody is above the law.

This is wild: a company is secretly scanning the internet for Zoom meeting links and turning them into AI-generated podcasts for $$$. Some meeting participants only found out after we told them. Included meeting on protecting kids from ICE, was supposed to be private www.404media.co/this-company...

here’s the arcane knowledge that many know in their hearts even if they can’t quite say it aloud: grammar is more like art than math

I have cried happy tears over mutual aid work today and parenting things which helps move through all the bad stuff. I am a mess over tremendous acts of love today. Not to get too sappy here but my god there are wonderful people moving mountains and doing it quietly and I'm so grateful to them all.

- Pace yourself - don’t go too crazy - no fedposting - stay on top of regulating your nervous system - act local - find people who’ve been doing the work and ask how you can help - tend to the myriad biological needs we need as confused little apes - give grace to dysregulated people on your side

"Cardinal Health issued a voluntary recall on Thursday for select lots of its Webcol Large Alcohol Prep Pads (70% isopropyl alcohol) as they may be contaminated with a bacteria called Paenibacillus phoenicis." *weary sigh*

78-degree temperature swing since Monday in Minneapolis (-2 then, 76 now)

did you come running into the bedroom bc you heard what sounded like a bag of treats for cats but it was actually a bottle of thyroid medication for humans? you may be eligible for compensation

Ain't that the fuckin' truth. Goddamn.

I heard there was a secret cord that David kept in his cable hoard but he can never find it when he needs it

your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

If a company as large as Microsoft - the only hyperscaler building out AI from cashflow - is having to do token austerity, this shit must cost so much more than we think
