Was finally able to worship at @djgrieser.bsky.social parish in Madison! Love a Rite I while traveling. ♥️📕🕯️⚓ #narthex

Almighty God, whose wisdom and whose love are over all, accept the prayers we offer for our nation. Give integrity to its citizens and wisdom to those in authority, that harmony and justice may be secured in obedience to your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Muni's "We put the Trans in Transportation" banner 🏳️‍⚧️🚌

Rain on Pride is homophobic! (I kid, I kid)

Biked on Hennepin to buy things at the hardware store and Sebastian Joe's.

"I'm not really a runner," okay but are these all his????

We need to discuss why President Trump, Congressman Emmer, and their billionaire pals want you to blame immigrants and trans kids for the problems they are causing.

Sick day so I turned the France v Norway game on in the background. I forgot the simple pleasure of listening to someone with a British accent pronounce French words. 😂

I assimilated all the way to Congress and this idiot still tells me to go back where I came from.

For future use

Went to my first Lynx game in 10+ years on Sunday night and yes, very excited for fellow Hopkins alum Coffey!

TFW you discover your babysitter just finished 10th grade and you have another two years with her.

Target Center seriously needs more bike racks for Lynx games!

Had to detour my bike ride back from church bc of the Stone Arch art festival, Special Olympics, and a World Cup watch party. But no one comes to Minneapolis!!!!!

Stopped at a playground on the bike ride in to church and a guy chatted me up about my shirt. 📕🕯️⚓

According to Wikipedia, it all started in the 80s because Scottish fans, who had previously had a reputation for hooliganism, wanted to change that reputation and also to distance themselves from English fans specifically. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartan_...

At ASI Midsommar and they've hired Sequeerity. Their food service workers ratified a new contract (with their private vendor) yesterday. The vibes are immaculate!

It’s our only information-bringing holiday.

I like Juneteenth as a day of freedom, of law, and of information.

Glad to see this!

What do you call the parent who starts creating the summer 2027 calendar on the third to last day of school in 2026? (me)

It is the end of the school year for Minneapolis Public Schools and it is impossible to adequately express gratitude to the teachers, administrators, volunteers, families, and organizers that made school a safe haven from the onslaught of state violence that tried to consume this place.

We spent the winter defending our way of life and in a single June weekend — with pencil sharpening, Grand Old Day, Tour de Luce, Open Streets, Twins, Lynx, Saints, etc — we are living it.

My employer, in a different department from where I work, is in the news today and man it's taking all my willpower not to post about it. Please clap.

It's barely 12:30 but the picnic game at Minneapolis parks today is already 🔥🔥🔥

Fair play to this (second) trigger warning! 😅

Not shocked he remembers the song, ftr, I mean shocked he remembers the hymnal number and referred to it as such.

My atheist brother texted me when he heard "hymn 599" out in the wild. I am shocked he remembers that! Iykyk ⚓🕯️📕

Out of town so went to the church where our old associate is now rector. It was nice to hear her preach again!

Best sound in an MPRB park: (1) aluminum bat crack, or (2) ice skates on a frozen lake. Who ya got

I'm sure it's SOP and just a symptom of me being old fashioned but it feels weird texting the teenage babysitter! I shouldn't be allowed to text anyone under age 23.

We cracked the network tv code a quarter century ago and yet we just keep making landmans like it shouldn't fill us with shame

People rag on public services, but the DMV regularly gets you your new license earlier than they promise you.

"The evidence provided by the government so far largely consists of interviews with the agents on the scene, who contradict each other on key details."

I am reminded of a friend who bought a house (solo) just before her marriage. She made $40k/yr, he worked seasonally. After their marriage imploded (him: violence) he sued her, claiming she only married him for the labor he performed on the house. She blessedly had a prenup.

Blessed Frances Perkins, pray for us. 📕🕯️⚓️

They will also (rightly) call out our misses!! I'm here for ALL OF IT.

Folks from around the country are about to spend four days biking, walking, and taking transit here. They'll be eating at our fabulous global restaurants, run by immigrants. And they will go home and tell their friends (bosses, electeds) what we do so well.

MSP Bsky is **not prepared** for the amount of reskeeting I'll be doing this week with NACTO in town. ❤️

Nature is healing!

It is wrong and criminal for government agents to kidnap someone, send them to die in a concentration camp, and disappear them, regardless of immigration status. But it's still worth noting she has a green card. The government doesn't even pretend this is about deporting undocumented people.

Happy statehood day! Celebrated by putting out the flag and having my 7 year old watch this. youtu.be/Rk9Lf-VIswU?...

And encourage more gas use which would drive prices up and FFS.

I do this exercise w/ theology students: imagine in an important area of your life, you can only operate on what you understood at 14. Every other area, you grow in understanding, but in e.g. romance or finances? 14. How’s that part of life going to go? Now when do people stop learning re: religion?

As a reward at the end of the week, the City of Minneapolis will be celebrating Bike-to-Work Day from 7-9am on Government Center Plaza. Coffee and donuts while supplies last, and we'll have a short program of elected leaders starting at 8:15 and talking about what bike commuting means to our city!
