Ann Friedrich has accidentally misgendered Minneapolis Park Board Commissioner Jason Garcia. I love Ann, and I think she's a great chair, but this kind of thing leads to more and more trans people not feeling welcome at DFL events.

Pride month is coming up and I cannot tell you enough, cis people, that the best thing you can do right now is stand up for trans people financially, publicly, and in any way you can think of so this witch hunt ends, once again, with bigots on the wrong side of history.

Talking with Jess Michaels helped me understand that a traumatic freeze response is just that, a response, not a conscious decision. As she said, it’s like touching a hot stove. Your hand moves away before your mind tells you what just happened. It’s not a choice. It’s not our fault we froze.

This is a very important listen.

Bluesky comes installed in the jacket

hennepin county DFL delegates should be able to trust the party with their personal information, esp in wake of mark & melissa hortman's murder this is a security issue so why did hao nguyen give this individual michael g waring of edina their contact info for delegates to send them mail?

They aren't using "nonce" correctly.

Fewer than 100 of my dumb joke t-shirt that @racketmn.com made better remain for cool cats like you to buy and wear to Taste of Minnesota, Stillwater Lumberjack Days, Wadena County Fair, and the Great Minnesota Get-Together!

AAAAAAAAAAND they’re on sale! Wanna piss off your worst uncle? Grab one of these shirts!

Who would've thought that my dumb two minute in-phone photo edit would become a Real Live Racket Shirt™? (support @racketmn.com during their member drive - racketmn.com/racket-sprin...)

It is so much better than I hoped, @peculiarityshop.bsky.social

And there you have it. The anti trans campaign in Maine was never some "grassroots movement." It was bankrolled by billionaire Richard Uihlein, who poured over $800,000 into targeting trans kids over sports and bathrooms.

Does your otherwise non-asshole company use Uline shipping boxes and packing tape? Find a new supplier, or keep funding this bullshit.

I specifically am targeted by these designs.

"too little, too late" perfectly describes angie craig only expressing regret - and not even APOLOGIZING - for voting for the laken riley act after operation metro surge ended. minnesota voters are clear-eyed after this winter, and we deserve better leadership than craig has shown

the rumors about brian o’hara’s inappropriate conduct with city employees have been an open secret for months now and if rumors continue to be true, it can get worse!

ANOTHER POLICE CHIEF BITES THE DUST JUST AFTER WE REELECT FREY! arradondo resigned in 2022, the year after frey got elected to a second term too

Hi all. Today I am working on a barnraiser for the last rent need on our May list. This MPS family owes 3 months of rent and we've already sent them one month's worth. Today I'd like to to raise at least one more month for them & we're already on the board: $75/$2300 Can you chip in or share? 🌻

BREAKING: brian o'hara has resigned as the chief of the minneapolis police department o'hara was due to face the city council next month for a confirmation hearing to reappoint him, the same process community safety commissioner toddrick barnette has now failed twice

If Boots Riley don’t fuck with you, you’re an opp!!!

blessed by jazz hampton driving by and waving on hennepin ave, who says uptown is dead

Vote early, vote often, vote Mick. I believe Hillary's mother has threatened to disinherit her if you don't.

ending the rise and remember festival marking 6 years since george floyd’s murder by the minneapolis police department with people dancing in the square to brass solidarity band playing “love train”

thank you robin wonsley for saying george floyd was murdered by the minneapolis police department. jacob frey only said "by a former police officer" but derek chauvin is only a NOW former police officer and he was employed when he killed floyd, very slimy to attempt to put this distance

B🌻🌻ST for Ra’il!!

The left: The Homeric epics are really important and we should fund the humanities and everyone should study literature. But hey, did you know other people three thousand years ago also told stories? The right: Black woman movie bad The Atlantic: I can't believe the left did this.

Love to be perceived.

tomorrow night is the culmination of the rise and remember festival marking the 6th anniversary of george floyd's murder by minneapolis police. brass solidarity band leading a processional from the square to the say their names cemetery is always such a wonderful moment

On Thursday, the Minneapolis City Council approved a Joint Powers Agreement with the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office to provide funding for a full-time advocate dedicated to assisting survivors of domestic violence in Minneapolis through the Domestic Abuse Service Center (DASC). 1/

One excellent feature of being Up North is KAXE/KBXE's Green Cheese and the regulars. Plus the medly of birds.

Oh hey we got very basic confined space training in the Navy - some folks got more. One of the things they hammered into us is that if you look down into a void and see someone lying there and you can't tell why, DO NOT GO IN AFTER THEM. Alert the trained people.

hey so I've had sepsis twice and while it's usually treatable and survivable, acting quickly is IMPORTANT. here's the NHS page on symptoms and causes- it's worth taking a moment to familiarise yourself, because usually it's other people who notice the signs. www.nhs.uk/conditions/s...

okay hi Americans I don’t know who else needs to hear this but ‘nonce’ is not a catch all insult for someone you dislike. it does not mean dumbass. it does not mean asshole. it means paedophile. that’s why we call him Prince Nonce. thanks for coming to my ted talk

Per my calculation, I have to sell about 1100 shirts to fund our insect mural series. Which sounds nuts, ok? I know. That sounds nuts. However... We already sold 132 so... I dunno, maybe we CAN make good things happen with silliness joy and art? I kinda think we can.

of all the things Google has done recently, what pisses me off the most is that they’ve removed postcodes when you look a place up in maps

Man, the frogs are LOUD rn. I needed this.

this graphic is brilliant messaging. the iconography of the minneapolis skyline in general is mostly only used by the mayor so progressive council members using it, esp with the mississippi river featured when the moratorium is an environmental win for the entire city is just so good, love to see it

I hate seeing my friends only at funerals (or so it seems)

MISSING CAT IN MINNEAPOLIS! peanut was last seen around the seward co-op on 5/20 at 10am, please keep an eye out

This. God, this. It is such a manufactured panic and it started the moment they lost the fight over gay marriage. Support trans rights because it’s the right thing to do and also because this is all just a fascist push

I couldn't sneeze

Total Federal public lands in the US are 640 million acres. The internet tells me the Germany is ~88 million acres. I think I begin to understand why European tourists die in the desert.

We're seeing a bunch of small fires pop up here in Northern California already, pretty much always attributable to human idiocy. 1) don't use campfires, use a propane stove and keep flammable material clear 2) be sure your tow chains can't drag on the road 3) don't throw lit cigs out the car

I don't think it's a good idea to legally privilege someone else's discomfort over another person's rights.

A California judge has given Kars4Kids 30 days to either take its ads off the air or update them to disclose its affiliations to a Jewish charity based in the Northeast. n.pr/4uGFsip

This weather shift has been hellish on my bad leg.
