En flambe

no, I do not want you to write for me. I do not want you to summarize. I do not want to ask ChatGPT about my own content. I want you to stop bothering me with popups or I’m going to throw you into the lake

As a radically pro-transgender cis person, you’ll have to get to them through me. And as a Minnesotan I mean that shit.

This shouldn't be the situation any of us are in (Capitalism), but is this not a place where a (reasonable, functioning) Federal Government could purchase the produce, pay the workers to harvest them, and distribute the goods?

Or maybe the workers should hold the means of production 🤷

Made french toast for dinner on Sunday, nearly all the milk was substituted for purposely over-ripened bananas, and I swapped out cinnamon for nutmeg and... 🤤

Get Bubbies, y'all. It's eat-out-of-the-jar good.

An aggressive serving of Sauerkraut counts as a salad, right?

In case it needed to be said: Trans people are just that - people. I stand by my trans brothers and sisters. If you want to get to them, you'll need to go through me. Trans rights now, trans rights forever.

Lots of us used a pronoun labeler on here that has gone away, but there's a new pronoun labeler people are using. Labelers can be confusing if you haven't used them before (& even if you have). They can be used in different ways. This thread shows you how to use the pronoun labeler. 🧵

If you're looking up labels and don't see any pronouns and would like pronouns, this thread tells you how to do that and also at the end there's a list of more labelers you might find useful. Many labels are ones you choose. (And you can't see labels unless you subscribe to labelers.)

After Josh Martin's big win over the weekend, more and more Minnesota cities are refusing to fly the new state flag.

THREAD. A while ago my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the worrying weeks dragged on my dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time & inhabiting art's most iconic scenes. What he produced (& how quickly) was phenomenal...

My friend is learning about human composting. My friend saved someone's life. My friend started a bike lending library. My friend performs lyra. My friend takes public transit always. My friend has the cutest dog. My friend raised money for families. My friend is grieving. I admire you all. 💛💛💛

Oh c'mon now. The left shouted at one another and got ignored on Twitter, even before Elon bought it. The left have been ignored most of my life, both online and offline, because a lot of the spaces they can speak are owned and run by conservatives.

"And in 1920, they had twice the sperm of THAT. And in the 1850s, men? HEAD TO TOE SPERM. THE CIVIL WAR WAS FOUGHT BETWEEN SPERM. What were we talking about?"

Ok, folks. This is Ferninand.

To this end, that you respond to this inquiry by positioning it as an evasion of accountability is troubling and something that you might want to reflect upon, especially if your moderation decisions are grounded in norms that maintain the marginalization of trans people.

Even the accusation that “trans people use their identity as a shield” can only be made from a perspective hostile to the mere existence of trans people. It is a POV that sees us as perpetual bad actors, “trying to get away with something.” It is incapable or unwilling to see us as individuals.

Name a song with "girl" in the title but replace girl with squirrel: Jessie's Squirrel

I just keep thinking about how we’re so car centric that we keep seeing crashes into buildings. “Bikers are so annoying and they break laws and take risks” SIR WE ARE NOT SAFE FROM CARS INSIDE OUR HOUSES

Under Babied.

As the weather gets nicer and we head into summer, I need to remind myself that one of the goals I set for myself during the ICE Occupation is to meet all of the lovely Twin Cities people who only exist in my phone. Folks who never hesitated to help or give me the lay of the land when I needed it.

hey! hi. howdy -- for any of y'all that remember dani (link to their profile won't work as they took their own account down), but even if you don't, i'm posting on their behalf for some mutual aid support if you can swing it. CA: $danirockasota V: Danijamie14 some more context in thread:

Ope, I’m learning what Uptown businesses I don’t want to give money to via replies on Mayor Frey’s announcement of using taxpayer $ to subsidize free car storage on Lake & Lagoon on Fridays. “Free” car parking is not the way to build better neighborhoods or cities.

You know it smells CRAZY in there

Amazing. Bugles and all.

Holy shit. Vintage Apple, Commodore, Atari, and Media/Audio gear in armfuls!

I have done almost no publicity for my own work in a bit on account of *recalls the past few months* BUT I’m gonna pick it back up because they’re pretty good comics, and I hope more people enjoy them!

Join @jchavezmpls.bsky.social and I tonight from 5:30-7:00 PM to learn more and give feedback on our ordinance requiring 30 day notice to evict commercial tenants for non-payment of rent. This change would help businesses by matching commercial eviction requirements with residential requirements.

ONLINE FRIENDS WHO WANT TO BE REAL LIFE FRIENDS! we are having another little get-together. come hang if you can. I am reusing the agenda from last time because we didn't get to ANY of the topics due to too much get-to-know-you. cc @freealonzo.bsky.social @skybluewaters420.bsky.social

Friday. I will have nametags!

hey, who's read Grapes of Wrath?

Also, few things will earn candidates my respect faster than responding, “I don’t know the answer to that.” You don’t need to know everything! No one does! It’s weird if you’re able to rail off an answer to my hyperspecific and/or extremely vague question about a recent event! Just be honest!

Our 7yo insisted on carrying the Mother’s Day gifts for our neighbor moms (including a heavy bag filled with baby formula!). Both moms were happier than I’ve ever seen them, which was so nice to see, given everything they’ve been through/continue to navigate to keep their families safe. 1/2

To be clear since the headline isn't: a study that claimed GenAI was good for learning, actually, turns out to have been bullshit.

Still an issue. Anyone else run into this?

There was some author on a late night show that was a proponent of humans eating insects He said that he was doing this for ecological reasons. He meant environmentalist reasons. Eating insects for ecological reasons would mean that he had evolved a specialized tongue for eating ants

Happy Mothers Day to all moms whose kids are struggling. Who lie awake at night wondering what else they could do or try, who keep a running list of their perceived failures, missteps and mistakes, who would trade everything to ensure their kids' wellbeing and happiness. I see you, darlings.
