No one prepares you for those parenting moments when your kid is devastated after a tough game and you hug them tight and they just reek so so bad

I started Bricking my phone on weekend afternoons. Today my son and I sorted the flags of the world into design categories, so that rules.

Today is St. Louis Park’s Buy Nothing Curbtacular! Come through and take home some treasures! sites.google.com/view/slp-buy...

Please join me in giving John Moe money so we can all enjoy Your Best Life in Hell

No one has ever checked in on me the way that Orange Theory is checking in on me while I put my membership on a one-month pause due to tennis elbow

Cub heard people saying that Midwestern tacos were bland and they said "hold my cream of mushroom"

Hey Twin Cities, extremely good job showing up for #indiebookstoreday

Keeping select sweatshirts out during the seasonal clothing switch because they’d be “good for the cabin” even though our friend with the cabin moved away like 5 years ago 😭😭😭

Another day, another round of "Am I filled with incandescent rage because of perimenopause or because of the increasing inequity and inhumanity of society"

Would this fix me. The glass/plate thingy I mean. The pool would fix me no question.

JD playing the long game and trying to win MN in 2028 by soft-launching a Lutheran conversion. He will 110% fuck it up and join Wisconsin Synod instead of ELCA.

We do not need ways to make writing easier so there's more of it. We need ways to make writing harder so there's less of it.

Every wish that comes true in your 40s is some monkey’s paw bullshit

It's spring break but I'm working; I told my son when I left this morning, "Don't have too much fun without me," and he said, "We're going to a dahlia farm and then a very quiet place."

I took a pic with that guy when I went to small claims court in 2013, wearing my most responsible outfit

My kid asked what Palm Sunday is and I couldn’t remember so I googled it, and this is one of those “at no point can you predict what’s coming next” sentences

I’m not a mom, but I’ve noticed that “wine mom” and “Patagonia wearing mom” and “moms pushing strollers” are cited as people who aren’t expected to take political action, or even to hold strong opinions. You all had moms, why do you think so little of her? Because she made you eat veggies? Grow up.

Third-grader reports that some chump boy in her class didn’t know the word sexism and tried to tell her that her project was inappropriate for school. The irony is THICK.

Coach Jackie better not make a Tiktok about this scored with that Phoebe Bridgers song; I may not survive

I guess we’re not calling them bills anymore; we’re calling them “balances available.”

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended

Blue Man Group had a residency in Boston when I was in college and I liked to take visiting friends and family. They just toured through Minneapolis and I took my kids and it was delightful (except for how it made me contemplate TIME 😭)

Showing the TSA line pics to my kids and telling them actually it’s a blessing we’re too broke to go anywhere this year

Can confirm: in a state of bonkers hockey parents, girls' hockey parents, specifically, are a different breed

I can’t think of a big tagline rollout where the CCO isn’t happily out there cheesing it up in the trades and local press. “Rise and Shine and Partners said it could not comment on active work” is… odd. It’s not a crime investigation.

January: me yelling the most depraved psychosexual taunts I can conjure at ICE agents outside of Cub Foods March: PROFILE IN COURAGE

"i'm on the struggle bus today" bro i am driving the struggle bus. and if it goes slower than 55 mph it's going to explode

the Norwegian campaign against enshittification is pretty great tbf vimeo.com/1168468796

If either my husband or I suggested going on a hike with any element of actual danger the other party would immediately suspect they'd been possessed

I lived in Loring Park from 2007 - 2009 and at the time the city had this little nugget published on the depths of its website that Loring Park residents could park in the Hyatt ramp for $1 when there was a snow emergency…

Maggie Rogers, NO!

I had to get an ergonomic keyboard and it has come to my attention I’ve been using the wrong hand for B the whole time. Are righties typing B with their left??? I can’t believe the kitty cat software that taught me to type on a monochrome Macintosh did this to me

There’s a Twin Cities social media thought leader who thinks everyone is being too mean to the McDonald’s CEO 🙄

In 2018 I took my friend Hayley to see Cole Escola at the Cedar Cultural Center and like a year later she took me there to see Chris Fleming so I just wanted to publicly brag about our impeccable taste

Sometimes I look at the subject line of my easy French newsletter and decide I’d rather stay dumb

I put a post-it on my monitor that says "Avoidance is prolonged suffering disguised as safety" and then I wrote like 250 words and then got sidetracked and then the post-it fell off so I think I've gotten all the mileage out of that I'm gonna get

"Tennis elbow" sounds kind of chic, and I'm glad, because it papers over that I'm fairly certain I did this to myself via years and years of troglodyte revenge time horizontal scrolling

I don't have a horse in the St.Paul jacket/Mpls lack of jacket race but if someone designed a St. Louis Park wearable and made the O a Bundt pan I would probably buy that.

This looks like the lobby of my mother-in-law’s senior living facility

Have you ever cashed in a 30-year-old paper savings bond because I am learning it is not the speediest process

I have never had to share Caramel deLites with anyone else in this house. Suddenly out of nowhere my 11-year-old declares them “bussin’” and a box I bought at 1 p.m. is now gone.

Heading into triple overtime in Peewee districts and we have double Zambonis; repeat, double Zambonis

crying in MN hockey mom

some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing

Doug briefly gave it a try on the deck

I am feeling myself change in this moment. True: let this radicalize you, type shit, I’ll tell you what. A question I keep returning to: what must remain. For me: -knocking on my neighbors doors -spotting a little cash -radical bravery -doing it afraid -going at the pace to include the most

The Pre-Raphaelites were just world-class fuckin’ trolls because here I am 260 years later looking at objectively fine art by Sir Joshua Reynolds and the first thought that pops in my head upon seeing his name is “Sir Sloshua”
