Got a brochure asking for our house to vote for the current mayor. It turned into a pretend diaper for the toddler’s stuffed kitty cat. She knows about things that are full of 💩 #Minneapolis

If you're in line to be Raptured, STAY IN LINE.

Old ruins on fire / suspicious.

Ugh. The dumbness of last week means I'm starting off this week with a missed physiology lab work sheet assignment. My inner responsible student is cringing SO HARD. My outward responsible grown up knows all the reasons why, and is still so bummed.

When I say Minneapolis is a small town, this is what I mean. On Friday, another guest at The Bungalow Club snapped a photo, and sent it to the manager, who recognized spouse and little, then forwarded it to me. So now I have this sweet memory, and I’m certain of treasures at the end of rainbows.

A moment for joy tonight, celebrating the 19th birthday of my boy child with a family dinner at The Bungalow Club on East Lake. A riot of volunteer marigolds included just because. #Minneapolis

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

The great thing about ranked choice voting is that you can say “Yes!” to three great candidates and “No, thanks” to the guy who’s already demonstrated he’s not up to the work of being mayor. #RankDavisFatehHampton

18. Lots of Minnesota road tripping in my life.

In this house, we rank Davis, Fateh, & Hampton. #Minneapolis

Sometimes I see cute puppy dogs, and I have to spend the rest of my day reminding myself that potty training a puppy and a toddler is a TERRIBLE life choice.

If you know, you know.

"Have you seen this shit?"

If you have the privilege to speak in times of oppression, be responsible with your words. Call power to account with compassion for the real fears of those oppressed. And if you do not have that privilege, please, choose to survive. We need you.

The Mississippi is a whole Mood this morning. #Minneapolis

Dinner review: The Toddler Critic. “The bacon havarti mac & cheese is worth eating a bite of, so you can gag dramatically and then demand more strawberries and a popsicle to erase the horrifying texture from memory” Anyway- how was your dinner? #HyperlocalNews

One thing the MN GOP does well is oust members of its party from office when criminal activity with probable cause comes to light. The MN DFL could take notes here.

The pedophile protection party at it again.

Parenting win: When your toddler gets mad because you aren't going to the library fast enough.

Thou shalt eat all of the cheese crackers which are shaped as fish and the sauce of apples. If thy stomach doth remain empty, petition thy father for greater blessings of cheese and fruit. If he doth not bless thee, weep until he relenteth. Only then shall you sleep. - Lamentations of a Toddler

Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear

Doctors I trust more than RFK, Jr.

I hate when we have the dumbest president.

I’m so excited about sleeping time.

Hot dish

I'm exhausted by rural folks telling urban folks that they just don't understand the realities of rural life. Y'all - that's a two way street, and many urban folks have rural roots. But I don't see a lot of rural folks spending significant time in cities. #GetOverYourSelfKaren

“Oh! Is WAININ!!” Is the toddler version of “We needed this rain.” #mnwx

On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

I love my neighborhood. #NoKings #GetLoud

BurgerDog is stuck in my head, but I'm supposed to be studying Phsyiology. #ParentStudentProblems.

A major reason Pritzker is superior to Newsom is that Newsom is mainly doing social media trolling while Pritzker is engaging in concrete acts of resistance & actually building institutions (e.g., his Governors Safeguarding Democracy organization).

Spouse and I went out for the evening. Toddler kept telling our friend who was babysitting her about “Dave Night” Gotta remember to schedule Dave Nights more often.

Nightswimming * Me Kitten Superman

We’ve also got CIDRAP and a phenomenal research university.

Worked tonight. One of the patients was trying to convince their mom to smuggle in 9 kittens. I *wish* they'd been successful.

Ideas you can have for free: - Citizens who show up to stand outside 1600 Pennsylvania Ave to take turns holding a sign demanding the resignation of Felon47. Every 30-60 minutes, someone new. - Moms stop providing labor until gun laws change. IDK what day. Soon. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Ic...

Off the top of your head, how many mass shootings can you recall? And how many guns have been taken out of anyone’s hands as a result?

Everyone - more of this.

Every politician should be speaking up like this, not just the ones who are not running for reelection.

I know the news today is heartbreaking. But I rode my bicycle today for the first time in 3 years, and Snow White is at the park we’re playing at this evening. For being a city, at it’s heart, Minneapolis is just another small town. #community

FFS. @wcconews.bsky.social and other local media. Get your camera off the kids.

I loathe this timeline. Attacks in places of worship are evil. Excuse me while I sob for the world.

Went out to the garden for beans, came back inside with a plethora of ripe tomatoes. Late August gardens are my favorite.

Twin Cities Friends - I hope you all get a chance to play outside! Twin Cities Enemies- I hope you can't find your shoes and your mom makes you clean your room until you find them, and then you discover your cousin accidentally brought them home and you don't get to play outside after all.

Here's a thing - poorly explained - about why I choose to love and protect queerness. "Normal" is just what all the unique weirdness of every single human averages out to be. It's a data set that gets us an idea of a human. But "normal" is not the essence of anyone.

Is "protest tourism" a thing? Is anyone offering DC packages that include posters and a charter bus to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave? Asking for a nation.

Until rich white people stop being afraid of sharing power with working class brown and black people, the DFL is NOT a big tent. It's a plantation.
