yo, that's me :-)

chatted with my band's director tonight, and she complimented me on my playing and asked me, "why are you so good?" Guessed that I was a music major, said she likes when I play set the most because of my spot-on timing.

$$$ spent to votes, Jazz fucking crushed it.

Prediction that F*** is going to win, F**** supporters will blame J*** and D****** supporters for not ranking F**** enough.

as it is election day, I want to share that my test for park board candidates was asking "what is your favorite piece of playground equipment?"

Knocked 100+ doors this a.m. for @jazzformayor.bsky.social because the grind never stops!

Katie Cashman is such a climate powerhouse that we’ve endorsed her AGAIN! JanePAC backed @katiecashman.bsky.social in her successful 2023 bid for City Council — and now she’s running for reelection and we need to have her back. 🧵1/3

my goal this year is to participate somewhat in nanowrimo. Probably won't actually write a novel but I want to write 50k words by the month's end (posting this publicly so I hold myself accountable)

If I were communist dictator of USA, I would put anyone who puts up Christmas decorations before Halloween straight to gulag. They can die in jail for all I care, I'm not joking. There are two holidays in between, both with decorations. Once again I would like to reiterate that this is NOT a joke.

With the #Minneapolis mayoral election in just four days - I had the chance to interview another candidate this week - my neighbor, @jazzformayor.bsky.social! Link to video interview in comments. Thanks to @jasonbuck.bsky.social for making this happen! angeladenker.substack.com/p/another-ma...

I saw a man at the gym tonight who leaned so far back in his lat pull down he was basically doing face pulls. Perhaps he knew something I don't.

New poll results are out!! Join the momentum, LETS DO THIS!

anyone know anything about the Minneapolis PAC Working Peoples Project? Have gotten 2 mailers in less than a week, FB page is less than a month old w/ zero posts, phone # is a Google voice #. Where's the mailer money coming from?

another PAC has entered the Minneapolis mayoral race, this one backing Fateh.

School children of Scotland protesting to save 'Scooby-Doo' from cancellation by the BBC 1971

going to say this "non-partisan" mayoral forum was totally tarnished by the person near the front wearing an Omar Fateh shirt, who was not corrected after I brought it up to the organizers. if you're going to have a no campaigning rule, you need to enforce it.

at every Minneapolis mayoral event, I am shocked to hear Charlie McCloud's accent, pls is it real?

if I had $5,000 for every time my cat had a medical emergency at the University of Minnesota's small animal hospital, I would have $10,000 (about enough to cover said emergencies)

reading the walking dead for the first time, in the last compendium, got to [major character]'s death and oh boy did I cry!

if the democrats want to build lasting power they gotta put out a big thing of spaghetti while they do speeches and anyone can have. Later, in the booth, voters are like "oh yea...the spaghetti guys..."

tonight I biked with some neighbor friends to the ward 1 LWV and man oh man do I just love SE Como and the folks that show up to things and try to make our little part of the city better.

We’re thrilled to have the endorsement of Council Member @emilykoskimpls.bsky.social! Her leadership on the council has been incredible, and our team was genuinely sad when she stepped out of this race. Emily’s courage, grit, and work ethic are truly inspiring. We’re so grateful she’s ranking us #1!

Omar Fateh came back on the delegation floor even though the floor was frozen. I was told by the sergeant-at-arms that it was okay because "he's going to be your next mayor." Really good, thanks DFL for applying the rules and being fair.

man I wonder whose supporters were yelling at trans people in the bathroom at the DFL convention!

This is a very, very sad man who has just seen something that's made him forget his sadness.

COALITION WARSHIP ARCHER - But as the sun sets, the shadows cast by those columns and arcades weave together to form an intricate umbral lattice. When you see it, you suddenly understand: It was all built for you, for *this very moment*.

I finally started to play the last of us. on the same day I watched the newest hbo episode. I broke my heart into a trillion pieces.

The Supreme Court holds that fascism is bad. Thomas and Alito dissent.

me at a concert now that I know 3 guitar chords: I know what chord that was

Instantly clicked on a forty-two hour long YouTube video by Quinton Reviews, because that's a normal kind of media consumption.

at TSA line. a young girl is panicked. her flight boards in 15 minutes. of course, we let her cut; the next couple does, too. a family with 5 children refuses to let her in front of them. "We have a flight to make too! We aren't concerned." Isn't it just basic decency to let ONE PERSON cut?

partying in my late 20s is putting anti-chafe on my legs and contemplating putting on my ankle brace :/

How to be a philosopher: when someone asks you a question that you can't answer, kindly and patiently explain to them that their question is malformed.

ran my first #DND session today for my friends - Lost Mine of Phandelver. they all had a great time and I loved seeing my prep work pay off!

running my first dungeons & dragons campaign tonight please clap

I never thought I'd say this, but for the country to really come together as one, the Philadelphia Eagles must win the Superbowl.

saw a pit open up at a totally normie concert, absolutely wild stuff.

No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

every time I go out dancing I am envious of the people who dance terribly but with reckless abandon. is that freedom? is that joy?

finished re-watching death note. still one on the best shows ever made.

Still, there's something inherently violent even about dice rolls. It's like every time you cast a die, something disappears. Some alternative ending, or an entirely different world...

The best part that I have discovered about this app, as a newbie, is that I can follow who I want to as a 27 year old without the baggage of who high school me followed.
