Answer to question of who our host/manager of the MPLS/ST feed is @jaz.sh and it was promptly supplied by @luckymud.myatproto.social *no surprise at how quickly the answer appeared, because that is a regular benefit of the feed and who I follow, longer post about this when painbrain improves

I rarely peek at Main on @bsky.app but when I do it just makes me even more grateful for the founders/managers of the MPLS/STP feed. Honestly, I might have left bsky if not for this feed. Hopefully, the HiveMind or our generous hosts will remind me of their handles b/c pain brain is still an issue.

RIP Dana Carvey’s best impression

This is the most Minnesotan post I may have ever seen!!

just did the fiiiiinal runthrough for the set tomorrow night. As great as the past two years of Ruffians shows have been--and they've been stupendous--my goal is to play the greatest show of my life tomorrow night and I think that looks very achievable

They have hats for Lyndale, Wedge Live, Kingfield, and Bryant. It appears that @wedge.live has decided which side they’re on in the Lyndale v Hennepin debate.

I toured the UMN bee lab yesterday. I even got to hold a drone bee, and taste honey right from the comb (it was warm!)

@jeannelakso.bsky.social weird question: are you related to Jerry Lakso?

Post nerve block hang with Tall One and Short One.

It’s New Foods Day for the Minnesota State Fair and this, to me, is the promise of America www.mnstatefair.org/new/food

And of course, the problem is, society can recognize that victims exist, but refuse to recognize that perpetrators exist.

Apologies to anyone else with medical trauma. But, I’m trying to share more onhere. This morning was the third nerve block in two months. Three blocks,’so far: caudal, ganglion impar, and today was for the pudendal nerve. 🙏🏻 please let this one work better than the previous ones.

And, so it begins.

Ahh, the pure aroma of nostalgia.

A week until we begin reviewing applications for this job!Please share with good candidates! (PhD required at time of application as we need someone to start in August).

It’s been a truly, unbelievably awful week. I was already thinking about fully venting onhere. But, then I had my fifth Uber trip of the week. Because I encounter so few people I take advantage of the drivers. After niceties, I always ask how long they’ve lived here. This gives me a chance…

I prefer this use for golf courses, although I know some of you freaks have other ideas.

So exciting—and is so close to Hayden Heights Library—renovation coming in 2927! Yay Greater East Side!!!

“Why no, hoomin. I am not sitting in the basket of towels you used to clean up my wee accident this morning.”

Avivo Village Central Minnesota - our 48-unit emergency shelter under construction right now - continues to make amazing progress! We're excited to see paint showing up on walls, sidewalks being poured, flooring being constructed, and more! HUGE thanks to Tim, our volunteer photographer.

What's up, docks. #vt

One of the drugs I take to deal with side effects from another drug I take has one hugely annoying side effect: hiccups. Hooboy! There are some weird ways to try to get rid of them. I use a few methods, because what works one time might not work the next. What’s your go-to hiccup cure?

This is a wonderful novella.

I have been trying to be a little more open about my conditions. But, there is a time and a place…this isn’t it. I’ll just leave you with my current status: in tilted bed, bedsore mattress at high, six pillows, two heating pads and one ice pack.

If the crowded meeting of grey haired DFLers is any indication, then their radicalization is proceeding rather quickly.

I find British sitcoms as mixed bag. But, and of course, this is a real banger.

If Elaine Chao is actually a deep cover asset, the Chinese Communist Party just pulled off the most MLG-360-noscope-MOMGETTHECAMERA operation in 21st-century intelligence history

I’ve given up trying not to be so delighted First Born has temporarily moved into my apartment. It’s amazing how much room there is in 800 sf. What’s not amazing? That us chickens, our name for our threesome (family, you freaks) can still spent 24/7 together and not get on anyone’s nerves.

My city is pretty.

You guys go ahead and make the potato salad and hamburgers, I’m going to lay down…

The Washington Monument never looked more like itself. Well done!

This is the way.

Second Born working intake on a psych ward today. What could go wrong?

Watching FOX coverage of the 4th. So far? Saber rattling and jingoism.

It will never achieve the popularity of “spendy.”

Not the first time Argentina has struggled with a small archipelago, let's be honest

Not a soccer fan, but have to watch this game.
