Aaah yes, Anoka County is suing the City of Anoka because the County put in a permit to build a parking RAMP, and "The city argued that zoning rules list “parking garages or lots” as permitted structures, but not “ramps.” I feel like I'm back in Saint Paul 😍

My leaders: Let's have discussion sessions on this topic that's broad but relevant to our business! Me: okay! (Plans, schedules, sends out invites) Someone else high up but not involved: WAIT NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING STOP RIGHT NOW

Remember 5 years ago when people thought there were coded messages in the Wayfair catalogue so elites could traffick children in giant cabinets? Anyway it turns out they just send emails like "hey it's me, your best buddy Pedophile Jeff, come do sex crimes at my house"

I can't see them 😞 I think my eyes are broken?

DONT FORGET

One thing I've done now that it's dark so early is I've switched up my routine. Instead of taking a shower in the morning, I take it in the evening and make a big deal about it: light candles, play special music, use special soap. It's helping a lot.

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.

My brother is a high school band director in Indiana and he is taking his band from a tiny rural school district to the State Finals today. Wish I could be there in person, but we are all in on this $30 live stream.

Post a pic of you from a different era.... summer 2000, the first time I got myself and my newborn dressed and left the house

Going grocery shopping and delivering it to someone in my community who needs food today and whose car isn't working is extremely my jam (yes, I also give cash directly to my local food shelf with an employer match)

posted this four months ago but tonight as buckaroos like mamdani sweep elections i will post again. hope this is sign to all establishment goofs that trotting to the center is not the move. protect the buckaroos who are in perilous circumstances and do not give an inch

I still can't believe I don't get to vote for anyone or anything tomorrow 😞

"I found the clitoris!"

My congratulations to all Baseball Perverts. It was their "super bowl" last night and it seems they all had a very bad time (in their culture that's how you have a good time)

During a local news segment last night the anchor reminded us to turn our clocks back and noted "we'll have extra light at in the evening but it will be darker in the morning" and I'm like...am I going crazy? Do they not have editors anymore? Did AI write their script?

We had three trick or treaters: our adorable two year old neighbor dressed as Mike Wazowski and two teenagers who, when I gave them half our bowl of full size candy bars because we don't get many kids, said "yeah, that's why we come here" 🤣

Every train that came through last night blew its horn repeatedly 😭 I genuinely don't mind living within spitting distance of a busy freight railway (it's better than my previous house near a freeway) but horns all night long are the worst.

There's something happening on or near the tracks that is causing every train to blow its horn repeatedly. Glad it's normally a "no horn" zone cause I don't think I could live here otherwise.

Amazing.

The original social media.

If I taught creative writing I would give this post to my students as a prompt

Snowball is enjoying Black Cat Day

Now that the leaves are falling I can (sorta) see the trains again. The eastbound Empire Builder just went by, it's very late today!

Today is Anoka Halloween Parade day! The local Facebook posts about it are already epic (we celebrate by staying home and doing dramatic readings)

Having trouble with my eyes and my hands. I think it's the universe's way of saying "so all those counted thread needlework projects you want to do? Better do them now"

This is dedicated to my beautiful wife who sometimes makes indecipherable sounds out of her mouth while I'm thinking about important things like doric columns and the Swiss guard and dovetail joints (joinery in general,) and Hadrian's wall, and cool guitars, and sporting, and so on.

An accessible article on the complexities around health care prices, billing, and payments. I see lots of talk around WHO should pay for healthcare, but not as much discussion around HOW MUCH should be paid (and who gets to decide that). www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/f...

Today I learned you can get shingles on your eyeballs!

Out in rush hour traffic this AM for a doctor's appointment and it's absolutely wild that we've structured our entire society so that this is a normal, expected thing for humans to do every day

The cats are very unsettled this morning.

Oh heck yeah, Minneapolis is getting a folk school in Loring Park! www.peopleandcraft.org

Still very bothered by this.

Follow me to the catacombs.

When you think of a bird associated with Minnesota, do you think of...a pelican?

There are two big outdoor events in Anoka this weekend that were banking on seasonably appropriate weather and they are going to be so hot 🥵

Janet did it best, though www.wired.com/story/chatbo...

Lure your enemies into the catacombs and wall them in

I donated, you should too!

I wish people understood that the state of national politics might be bad, but posting from a place of pure anxiety about the worst things you can imagine happening is not doing any of your friends any favors. None of those things are the truth or what will absolutely happen.
