Where's the "Mission accomplished" banner?

quick, someone help, we've got a vegetable situation

Mpls will not be awooing according to Hennepin county alert.

No awoo in Standish??

Tears for Fears, in, um, Spring 1996, maybe? wow I'm old

What is happening in Minnesota should terrify you. And I mean terrify you to the bone. The federal government is actively lying about things we can see with our own eyes. They are murdering people in the street, blatantly lying about it, and blocking the state from investigating.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

”rumpled library detective“ is a pretty good description of my actual profession, tbh.

Now we go live to antifa headquarters in Minnesota

This wasn’t exactly normal times (January 2021), but it was a gorgeous winter Sunday in the park and the whole neighborhood was out enjoying it.

Irate middle-aged midwesterner here. Yup.

This thread 😂😆🥹🥹

Canada, Canada, take us in.

I am deeply frustrated with our electeds’ response, but legit question for those who’ve thought about this harder than I have: what should they be doing if their response was ideal? I hate what’s happening here, but I sure don’t them want to give the govt any excuse to come down even harder.

The U of MN, including libraries, is moving to U card-only access to buildings. Non U affiliates will not be able to freely enter. The statements from U admin are pretty mealy-mouthed, but this is a concrete (if unfortunately necessary) move.

Very very minor all things considered, but WTF is the deal with Noem’s comically large cowboy hat? She looks like Yosemite Sam.

Just like every January in Minnesota, I’m eagerly looking forward to ice out.

This is just a note to say that I have eaten the falcon in a widening gyre and that you were probably saving for anarchy Forgive me it was delicious so rough and full of passionate intensity

A movie that takes place where you’re from.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.

Here we see the Pope giving new meaning to Abbot Suger's "architecture of light"—a metaphysical theology that informed the design of Gothic cathedrals—through the medium of sound, establishing once and for all that the sonic impact of angel song is best represented by dubstep. In this essay I will

If a man calls a woman “crazy” please know that it’s actually code for “she is reasonably upset by the compounded experiences of injustice that her mere existence has subjected her to and I don’t want to acknowledge it or I fear I will realize I’ve benefited from the culture of it.” Hope that helps!

sure why not

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

That was a rather brief awoo, what gives?

Number 703 in Ward 12 Precinct 3 at just about 5 PM on the dot.

The world is a dumpster fire of the most epic proportions, but nothing can take away the simple pleasure of MSP Bluesky #sirenposting.

awooooo

When you wish upon a star…

Cities! And libraries! (I'll even overlook the whole Wisconsin thing for this)

WTF Bach

Oh. @angaeilgeoir.bsky.social …

Spouse works in public media. I work in higher ed. The other shoes are starting to drop, but oh so slowly. We (specifically) are fine right now. But we're both feeling it tonight.

Having a Dark ‘n Stormy. Because it’s…well.

Rain, thunder, and lightning in the 55407 but nothing too extreme. This has been your obligatory MSP bsky weather update.

So, if humanities produce good job outcomes, humanities have a secure ROI that bring in more than they cost, and STEM now has an even lower ROI due to grant cuts…. shouldn’t we invest more in humanities where less $$ goes a longer way? Apparently not. We should ask why not. /9

When you know you have the prettiest paws on the block.

This is the truest thing I have ever seen. You cannot imagine how much the Romans would have lost their minds for excel. They literally already started writing our historical chronicles in synchronized columns *by hand*

Can’t pick just one favorite, but I do like this shot a lot (taken on the North Shore near Lutsen).

Thanks to all of the Minneapolis folks who spent a nice summer Saturday at the DFL convention and got us a much better outcome than an endorsement of the current mayor — and documented the day on Bluesky. I appreciate you.

Truly we are living in a golden age.

Why yes I am doomscrolling at 4:45 am, why do you ask?

Good…morning?

Post an unusual sign if you feel like it

What’s a poster you had up in your room growing up? This one. And many cats.

This neighborhood stop sign has an important message that all cocktail lovers can get behind.

Twin Cities: I strongly recommend the new production of Cabaret at the Guthrie. Funny, sexy, moving — and anchored with a stunning performance by Jo Lampert as The Emcee. I loved it. It’s not a feel-good kind of show, but it’s timely and affirming. Go, if musicals are a thing you enjoy at all.

Can’t believe how relieved I am that we don’t have to start the week with this piece of shit still at large.
