We learned this week that Lavender magazine’s leadership decided to end their run after 31 years. We thank those contributors who have done good work through Lavender, but we would be doing our communities a disservice if we didn’t address their ahistorical statements.

This app is illegal in Minnesota. You have to download Gray Duck instead.

I have had *plenty* of criticism of lavender magazine over the years, and it’s still a shame when LGBTQ media shutters

Why can’t the lynx rebound or score a bucket 😭

Strib stays writing strib takes. If you see the new article about how the new MN state flag is “deeply unpopular” it’s actually not.

Oh shit the feds about to drop a list of folks we need to buy beer for! Can’t wait.

ALERT 🚨 Federal agents are being seen across our community as they arrest observers. Let me be clear, alerting our neighbors about ICE activity is not a crime, observing is not a crime, and loving your immigrant neighbors is not a crime. 1/

woke up like

Let’s goooo 🥽🥽🥽

Peggy Flanagan is going to win and Angie Craig could just concede now

Happy 17th anniversary of the onset of my second puberty to me! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

I’m tired 😴. I didn’t want to talk about media literacy, Epstein, & social media at 10:45pm but here we are, I stayed up late to convince my teen Ellen isn’t a cannibal & dying of prion disease even if your young teen isn’t on social media, their friends are and are likely seeing/talking wild shit

She will probably get elected, but I find it helpful to remember that we are not stuck in there with her, she is stuck in here with *us* 😈

The Lynx now have a 3.0 point lead in defensive rating and now have the best net rating and record in the WNBA. It’s 0.7 points better than last years league leading 97.5 They are also 2nd in steals, 1st in D Reb, 5th in blocks, 5th in opponents PITP, 1st in defensive FG%, 1st in defensive 3pt%

Good job Minnesota

I love trans people

I suppose now that my kids are gonna be in high school and middle school it’s time to unsubscribe to the preschool newsletter 😅😂

another way I can tell I am middle aged is that some of the app icons on my phone auto-updated and I Don’t Like It 😅

Mayor Frey's pick for Minneapolis Fire Chief Reggie Freeman was most recently a private contractor for Saudi Arabia's NEOM, that massive boondoggly mega project which has been criticized for human rights violations and environmental degradation. www.firerescue1.com/dr-reginald-...

Some background on Agape, which lacks community buy-in and has a history of being homophobic + hostile to unhoused people

The Lynx play basketball tonight 🎉😎 Strategically timing my afternoon coffee to not be too sleeping for a 9pm tip off but also recognizing that even watching on tv gets me hyped up and sometimes unable to settle down and sleep 😅

We went to the Kalahari in Wisconsin Dells this past weekend to celebrate my mother in laws 70th birthday (her choice!) and my report is I had more fun than I expected 😅😂

Hiiii Minneapolis how do you feel about the cops? The independent monitor for the settlement agreement wants to know

I sold my cargo bike yesterday. I bought this bike 11 years ago when my 2nd kid was a baby. We put 100s of miles on it. We biked to preschool, the park, the library, camping trips,, the beach, the coop, restaurants, to visit friends, day camp.

While negotiating the retired player recognition payments for the new CBA, Tina Charles brought up the idea that, if a retired player is deceased, their beneficiary should receive the payment. That made it into the final agreement. Just one aspect of the rich legacy she left off the court

Me, explaining that the Lynx are missing 4 of their returning vets and that today was rookies, Nia Coffey, and Court. The final roster will not play like this 😂🫠🫠

when you are a queer person raising kids sometimes it might be 10 pm on a Friday and you’ll be wiped but your 11 and 14 year old will convince you to delay bedtime because they *need* to learn “dancing queen” together on piano

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

Does not sit right with me at all

I’m so happy we reached the first day of WNBA training camp, even if I’ve had to mute the Dallas Wings because I’m too sad to see Lan

😂🏀🪣

I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of The Point God than live in the tents of wickedness. -Cathy Deloitte’s kids on why they moved out, reiterated on #WNBA draft night to Holly Rowe after she ambushed them about their trauma + resilience as self-emancipated minors, quoted in Psalm 84:10

Draft picks aside, I got swag at the draft party! A piece of the lynx game used floor from the 2013, 2015, and 2017 championship seasons

Is the Minneapolis/St. Paul feed down for anyone else?

I’ve moved through my surprise and I’m hyped about Miles. Championship teams have elite point guards. Sue Bird, Chelsea Gray, Lindsey Whalen all with four each between 2011-2025. Slide Court back to shooting guard and let Kmac rain 3s from the wing. Let’s ride!

The Lynx did their due diligence in scouting Miles. Per Reeve, they had a staff retreat in Fort Worth earlier this year for four days and got the chance to scout and meet in person with Miles extensively...

More women’s sports on the top of the front page of the sports section plz and thank you 🫡

Every single lynx starter from last year’s pink pony club roster on a max salary somewhere? 🥹🥲🥹😻

Jim Pete was very bullish on Howard and he worked with her a ton. We picked her up after two years in Indy, she went to the finals with the Lynx in 2016 and 2017, but she was coming off the bench behind Sylvia Fowles and Rebekkah Brunson. Of course she went somewhere to get minutes.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...

@abbylynx.bsky.social doesn’t miss 😂😂

This doesn’t seem hyperbolic now

Come on then, and remove him.

Great idea to cut transit funding right at the outbreak of a prolonged oil shortage. Minnesota lawmakers should do precisely the opposite of what Walz is proposing. streets.mn/2026/04/07/t...

10 year old very opposed to practicing music out of his piano lesson books, but has spent 45 minutes learning to play cell phone ring tones. I guess that’s a win?

37 points is the 2nd fewest points in a half in the Final Four or later (32 is the record Stanford UConn in 2010).

Both of these games just feel like a slog tonight

it’s spring, the LARPers are back with swords and shields and armor at Brackett Park
