Drinking a cup of Up Coffee’s Sumatra brewed in an Aeropress using James Hoffmann’s Aeropress brew recipe, then taking a coffee nap is my new weekend afternoon happy place.

Gas prices and inflation rates won’t be dropping anytime soon, so instead of buying that minivan we’ve been eyeing our family added a second electric cargo bike to our home this weekend.

Love this for my potty-training toddler when we visit our local park on a Sunday morning

It’s disappointing to see @minneapolismn.gov public works vehicles parked in the 29th St NE “AAA” bike lane a block from the middle school 15-30 minutes before school starts.

Stephon Castle!

Every time people cite construction as a reason for small businesses closing in Uptown, I think about how the Minneapolis City Council funded a $900,000 construction hardship program that Mayor Frey did not implement.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ This would have been support for small businesses in Uptown.

I heard/heard of Kiernan for the first time last night, when they opened for Brown Horses at the 7th Street Entry and they are amazing! music.apple.com/us/artist/ki...

I know I’m in the minority here, but I miss those past couple of years when we didn’t have much of a spring season. These MN springs wear me down—I’m ready for it to be hot outside!

DFL leadership’s end-around to make her our next nominee for governor is going to hold MN back from reaching our potential for decades 😢

Near side stoplight! Also, the beautiful Capela de Santa Catarina 😀

Happy bike lane closed season to all who celebrate 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don’t know where my career will take me long-term, but I hope it’s never far from being able to see the delight on a child’s face when they learn how to ride a bicycle. Today was a good day to be a bike educator. #SRTS

😳

After riding on the A-line yesterday, our 2.5 year old told us she wants to move to Portland so she can ride the green buses (FX-Line). 🤣

As we were pulling away from our house on the way to see the MNUFC match this afternoon our 2.5 year old shouted from the backseat “play the Ramones!” I think we are doing ok as parents.

So context specific—for instance, we didn’t check a bag when we traveled to Portugal with an 18-month-old for 8 days, but we checked a bad for our now 30-month-old when we went to Oregon last month.

Sad news. He wrote so many of the country hits I grew up on in the 80’s/90’s.

My 2-year-old is obsessed with this new Kevin Morby track

Call to Action: Stop the H Line from precluding future bikeway in Saint Anthony Park! : https://streets.mn/2026/04/16/h-line-bikeway-saint-anthony-park/ Advocates from Saint Paul and Minneapolis are concerned that the proposed H Line station locations will inhibit better bike infrastructure thro...

Kevin Morby's great new single "Badlands" features vocals from Sylvan Esso's Amelia Meath and casts Justin Vernon in the role of tornado siren

Minneapolis Public Schools is looking for volunteers for its Let's Roll ride on May 6 on the Northside. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Long overdue and definitely deserved.

Solo parenting this morning for the toddler’s first trip to the Children’s Museum wearing underpants instead of diapers. Tees and Pees please. 🙏🤞🏻

I’ve been in Portland for 72 hours now and I’m starting to crush hard. What a fantastic city 😍

Field of Dreams/National Farm Toy Museum

Our 2.5 year old is in the midst of an exponential leap in independent/imaginative play and, while this is not without some challenges, it is amazing to watch her little brain start to understand the world around her in new ways.

The IG reels algorithm took me on a wild ride last night and I didn’t get to bed until 1am. I still made it up to shovel the first pass at 5:30, but this is going to be a long morning. The toddlers nap time can’t come soon enough.

Telling the 2.5 year old next time her daycare teacher uses painters tape to make a fake road on the floor so the kids can play with toy cars and trucks that she should demand the teacher add a bike lane

Hard to believe it’s been five years since I wrote about these for streets.mn streets.mn/2021/03/08/a...

My recovery from hernia/hernia repair surgery is going well as I continue to ramp up my exercise. Today I commuted via bicycle for the first time since late-October. Crushingly, bicycling caused the most discomfort before I had the hernia repaired, so it’s good to be back in the saddle 😀 pain-free.

Interesting that neither this reporter or Target’s CEO mention sales lost because of their DEI rollbacks in this article | Target to Spend Billions to Refresh Stores, and Hire More Workers www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/b...

😍😍😍

Was just reading an article about Persona’s role in LinkedIn verification and it appears Persona is very bad.

Wordle doesn’t enable fascism (at least I hope it doesn’t), so maybe transfer this lesson to the news division?

NEW: Minnesota United CSO Khaled El-Ahmad on adding James Rodriguez to “evolve the culture,” a late-winter surprise in a “mentally tough” moment amidst Metro Surge. “This is the right place for him because of the community, how we stand up for each other.” www.theguardian.com/football/202...

While many of you are likely yelling “GO PATRIOTS” or “GO SEAHAWKS” I’m yelling “GO HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE” and “The rule of law!”

Oh no!

"The Democrats are pushing reforms that they know won’t work because they are doing performative, perfunctory opposition to try to quiet their base, instead of real legislating and fighting to dismantle Trump’s ICE and CBP." newrepublic.com/article/2059...

Does Kevin Love ever go into the Target Center rafters?

😢

A Iot of people have a lot of problems right now so I know this is somewhat trivial, but I haven’t been able to ride a bicycle since Nov. 4th and as of midnight tonight I will finally be medically cleared to ride a bicycle again.

I can’t boycott what I don’t use, but if you are using OpenAI maybe stopping for a while could make an impact.

Lot of conservative dudes out there telling on themselves by being astounded by a level of ”logistics” that the average mom has to manage every fucking day

I don’t know about you, but my family isn’t spending another dime at any of these companies until they stop supporting fascism and demand the fascist they have been supporting abolish ice.

Not so much each other as non-whites. MAGA can’t imagine white people caring for non-white people.

Shut it all down until ICE is abolished
