Northern lights from the remote locale of my south Minneapolis back yard.

How many Radiohead references can you count?

I’m raising money for Groveland Emergency Food Shelf, a South Minneapolis nonprofit that provides emergency groceries for those in need. They’re currently struggling to keep up with demand, and they’re getting their first $16k in donations matched. I’ve got $50 on it! Can anyone match me?

We have a week, guardians of MPS students. Call/email solidarity with the MFE and tell them to Settle all 3 Contracts. Let’s Avoid a Strike!

@jeffrosenstock.bsky.social @ekkoastral.bsky.social @sladkow.bsky.social St Paul tour kickoff on Wednesday seems like a good time to unveil your ensemble cover of No Doubt’s 1995 masterpiece Excuse Me Mr.

Extremely humbling to see the Minnesota Distance Elite team at Lake Harriet absolutely flying by laughing and having a great time while I’m a disaster barely keeping it together at 10 minute pace.

There is power — and joy — in a union 💪 Congratulations to @spfelocal28.bsky.social on your tentative agreements!

Vouchers are ineffective, unaccountable and siphon funding away from the schools more than 90% of students attend. We don't need them in Minnesota -- or anywhere. #mnleg #edmnvotes

PUP at the Tiny Desk???? Now we’re talking with gas!!!

$65 to $79 million in federal ed funding is frozen across MN, affecting more than 220,000 students. This is a racialized, economic, and linguistic disinvestment that strikes hardest at those already facing the steepest barriers to a just and meaningful education. www.mneep.org/2025/07/17/h...

Happy hour shark quiz

Currently wondering how my wife would play it if I got one of the many Epiphone Sheratons on marketplace and played Oasis songs in the basement for the rest of the summer.

Worked imo: Ok Boomer They’re weird Will you shut up, man There you go again Does not work imo: He’s dangerous He’s a felon Most important election ever Rules don’t apply to him Stop building up fascists into cool strong outlaws for scared idiots to hide behind. Deflate them. It’s not that hard

Anyone else get a survey call about Frey today?

Today we passed teacher retirement reform, a long and hard fought win for teachers in Minnesota that will advance fairness and stabilize our teaching workforce. youtube.com/shorts/9xojX...

I got a Canes gift card good for unlimited $1.49 lemonades for up to 3 months for teacher appreciation week.

There’s Twice As Much About Mary

happy May Day, support unions + independent workers + make some kind of effort today to stop giving money to the ultra rich

Driver in wrap around sunglasses pulled up to South Lyndale Liquors in his trans am blasting Nirvana’s Lounge Act and it was sick af. You touched me sir.

HANDS OFF our public schools! HANDS OFF the unions that protect them! HANDS OFF accessible, welcoming learning spaces for all of our students in MN and nationwide! #handsoff #resist

Post a meme you made

We’re just innocent men

Do we file our taxes now or wait until the system explodes?

Friday 4 X 4

Happy to hear others are doing this too. We shopped for groceries elsewhere for the first time in years this weekend and will continue to so. $200 a week no longer going to Target.

TIME TO FIGHT BACK. Trump has launched a sweeping attack against our public schools and our students. He's testing the waters for even bigger actions. We must resist. EMAIL CONGRESS and tell them to stand up to this illegal overreach: edmn.me/4gta2nK

Forgot how good this is. Just hook after hook.

I am so glad I subscribe to @racketmn.bsky.social Subscription well spent. Support local journalism!

Punk Christmas came early. Thanks @see-saw.fun @ninacorcoran.bsky.social and all the contributors.

"I can’t control what other people think of me. People are calling teachers groomers based on the word of a man who bragged about walking in on beauty pageant contestants undressing, but that doesn’t mean I have to let their words affect me."

18 months until there’s an indie lofi band named muigi langione

Black Friday 3 X 3

Hovercraft, Foo Fighters and Mike Watt May 8th 1995.

This is mine: music.apple.com/us/album/sil... @franziamom.bsky.social I actually think you would like this a lot. 90s power pop Weezer but make it Queen or ABBA. Every hook an earworm.

Friday 3 X 3

Today a student told me she has FOUR TikTok accounts: one for public things where she looks good, one private for semi friends, one private for friends and one private for her 3 best friends. I said it sounded exhausting and she said everyone does it.
