Something I love unconditionally is when someone says "Stay warm out there!" and the other person chuckles and says "I'll try!"

i stand by this statement every year

lol thank goodness dems caved on the gov shutdown because "now we can blame republicans for health care costs rising" as Schumer put it it wd've been nice to just... have lower healthcare costs instead but sure let's try to use this moment to get people mad at repubs. an entire year before midterms

I think i need to stop checking out the What To Expect pregnancy forum because the amount of anti-vaxxer pregnant people posting on there is making me depressed

My daughter’s school bus was delayed this morning because armed ICE agents, some masked, were in the middle of 15th Ave in Cedar Riverside. So why wouldn’t ICE just get out of the way when the bus came? Perhaps they were busy harassing Somali-Americans, who are overwhelmingly citizens. But... (1/4)

This was a choice, not by the person walking but by the decision makers who refuse to prioritize them. Photo Credit: D_S_J_

This is Uni. She has ridden to work with her human every day in their bike basket for the last seven years. Has been offered many other forms of transportation, but refuses them all in favor of the Honey Baked Ham Express. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: unihalo)

did… did the dog write this recipe

one of the hard things about having a difficult pregnancy symptom-wise is my brain apparently interprets any tummy troubles as anxiety/stress so on top of not feeling well physically, I've been a bit mentally in the dumps too 😩

Sign up to be an organ donor. You will save lives. Also your spirit will have a portal through to possess their bodies, allowing you to continue your murderous rampage from beyond the grave. (No but seriously, you can't take it with you- be an organ donor and save lives)

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

was behind someone in line at a food truck last night and when they ordered they gave their name as Tav and I felt like I was in the presence of a celebrity.

There are no clothing machines. All garments are handmade. ALL of them. There is no T-shirt machine. Every $5 shirt I’ve ever purchased was sewn together by a human being who is an expert sewist. Just thought I’d mention that before tomorrow.

KSTP meteorologist posting AI videos on Twitter of what he says is what Minneapolis will look like if his forecast is correct is really something… not a valid weather news source going forward imo

My husband graciously agreed to drive 30 min to satisfy a pregnancy craving. it was so worth it 🤤

on my (delayed b/c covid wedding) honeymoon in cancun and I was pregnant. we were on our way to a beautiful brunch spot by the beach. I accidentally chased an agouti running to the nearest bathroom. I remember being really excited because I thought it was a capybara then feeling bad I scared it.

I haven't biked for a while because first trimester kicked my ass but I think imma pick up the little one on the bike today and I'm trying to muster up the courage to get in the cold. last winter i did just fine with this I'm just not used to it yet!

Dear motherfucking democrats: when the president calls for a member of congress to be executed, I expect you to bring articles of impeachment, not send a fundraising email.

Friendly reminder to anyone who is gonna be around babies this holiday season to please make sure your TDAP is up to date!

I blame this thread. it turned out great tho.

Cw: suicide This article is devastating. Earlier this month, a 15-year-old died by suicide the day after posting about a substitute teacher insisting on misgendering him. Suicide can have many contributing factors. His family is speaking out about bullying and misgendering as two.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Extremely upset that a throw-away XKCD joke somehow became the organizing principle for the Internet.

I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

This is a real image of a real thing that exists in the universe! And because a bunch of humans decided to get together and build a space telescope, we get to see it! 🤯

Happy international men’s day! Dudes, text a male friend and ask a male friend and ask how he’s really doing. Men also deserve deep and meaningful connections.

as a pregnant person who just hit 2nd trimester omg i need to try all these

Plus a new immigrant tracking app from Thomson Reuters, food insecurity continues, and Crooked Beverage Company turns out to be crooked in today's Flyover news roundup.

Every day I work at Big Tech I understand this guy more and more

For my newsletter, I wrote a little about how there seems to be a recent rash of trans people taking their own lives. Please take care of yourselves this holiday season, I promise you that there are people who want to help you if you're struggling. www.burnsnotice.com/if-youre-tra...

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Seeing some beautiful photos of aurorae tonight, so here's a reminder that other planets get them, too! This is Saturn, with aurorae visible at both poles in this UV image from Hubble's Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, taken in October 1997 when the planet was 1.3 billion km away.

ahhh first time seeing the red and pink aurora tonight!!

I love that we’re all sky posting. Easily the most vivid red I’ve ever seen 📍Central MN

Hi Minnesotan Bluesky: The DFL has a well-known transphobia problem. I'm organizing to change the party platform in 2026 to be explicitly supportive of trans people in Minnesota. This will provide a basis for expelling transphobia from our party. Join me: abetterdfl.org.
