One of the fun things about job searching is sometimes you come across a job description that is so unhinged that you just have to assume it's performance art. Anyway:

Carin displays the kind of attention to detail that makes me think she's watched the pec bounce tutorial several times. youtu.be/okPv-K_tPQY?...

We ate so much good food here. And then we went grocery shopping!

New bike day. Made it just over 7 miles, plus 30 minutes at the skills course, on its inaugural ride.

Any bike shops with a wide selection of quality kids bikes? Specifically hoping to try a few 20in bikes with gears and hand brakes. Leaning toward a Guardian bike, but hate we can’t try in store.

Gavin Newsom, Kristi Noem Nod Silently To Each Other In Plastic Surgeon’s Office

It is done. Minneapolis Public Schools has confirmed our kid's Kindergarten school for next year. I am so glad she's going to a school that doesn't start until 9:10 because I don't think she would ever be on time for an earlier one.

A right-wing org wrote an article about me. I won't post it here, but you can find it if you want. Let's just say the last 20 hours or so have been surreal.

Seems I made Libs of TikTok. My boss, grand boss, partnering agency commissioner and Governor all got emails about me and my totally radical “abolish ICE” position. Screenshotted some Facebook posts, my LinkedIn profile and an article from when I was named to the TAC. Good times.

Cat's out of the bag: we're broadcasting the Jason Isbell/400 Unit show live from the Armory on Thursday night starting around 8pm CST.

This is what a dictator who isn't planning on free elections would say.

We decided to try a new suburban library today. There are no other children here and hardly any adults. I guess the people of Wayzata are too cool for the library.

Welp, need to make me and my kid’s application for Canadian Citizenship a much higher priority.

In a surprise to no one, not an immigrant.

What's the point of having an entire High School Sports section of your newspaper online and not let people find out what happened at the Girls State Wrestling Tournament today or yesterday? My friend's kid has won both days and no mention of them or their weight class...

Still one of the best videos on Internet

Bowled the best game I’ve bowled in a couple years: a 230. Really happy with that and hope the rest of the season goes as well as tonight did.

I’d love a new house. Below 6% isn’t terrible. But until this administration is ousted from the White House, I can’t make any big financial changes because who knows what fresh hell they are going to concoct to punish Minnesotans.

Parents/caregivers/friends of trans and non-binary kids: there is a one week camp for trans and NB kids this summer in the Twin Cities. They say Minneapolis, but I’m told it is actually in St Paul. Passing along the info. www.thecampindigo.org?fbclid=IwdGR...

Have you ever thought, Why men?

I think almost everyone has a "hockey players are racist assholes" stories. I have many, one being how the hockey players held up signs with KKK and Klan hidden in them for the yearbook Seniors photo. Lots of other racist stuff into the yearbook. Yearbook was recalled. School was ~1/3 kids of color

Another night of drone activity in Standish. It’s been quieter lately, but seems to be busy tonight. Highly recommend a neighborhood drone chat to keep you paranoid.

Ask a mortician how funny it was to help families who had to watch a loved one die from another room, if they could be in the same building at all.

People talking flags which reminds me how mad I am that every day when I walk into my job at the STATE OF MINNESOTA I see the OLD State Seal prominently displayed because someone can't be bothered to remove the racist seal. It doesn't even need to be replaced, just removed.

the hennepin county sheriff's office will reportedly no longer be posted up at the whipple building guarding it from protestors, and the national guard deployment there has also ended

My first meeting of the day, the one that I spent an hour preparing for on Friday and worried about all weekend, went perfectly. It lasted 15 minutes total and everyone agreed with our plan and was all smiles. Real hopeful it sets the tone for the rest of the week. We all could use an easy week.

It’s been a day. To top it off, my kid stole my towel and clothes while I was in the shower. My strong desire for a second bathroom just changed to a second bathroom with a lock on the door.

That was a terrible commute. Left half hour early and couldn’t get home before my husband had to leave for work. So he took the kid to work, I met them here, and now me and the kid are eating burgers and I got a lovely dunkel style beer.

oh fuck. I fucked up. I had summer camp registration on my calendar for tomorrow. It is today. They are all full. We have no backup plan. I'm going to go cry in the bathroom now.

Wasn’t home for the drone show tonight, but saw a few as we left tumbling class at Lake Hiawatha. Tried to intercept two of them by car and got close before they raced off across the golf course.

Maybe unpopular among the urbanists, but I am 100% in favor of pharmacy drive-throughs. I don't want to be in line with contagious people. I especially don't want immune compromised people in line with contagious people. All other drive-throughs can be banned.

I think I just signed up and paid for the last session of expensive swim school for my kid ever. Really looking forward to not having to pay for swim school OR preschool next year.

Just a girl, standing in her front yard, watching the nightly drone show provided by the Federal government. What the fuck are they doing?!?!!

I’m reading a 1970s edition of an art history book. In the first chapter we have “queer” to mean odd, “Negro” and “the Red Indians of North America.” It’s a well respected book and I assume current versions do not use these terms, but reading them is jarring.

Just texted a family we're helping and the grandma is hopeful the kids will be able to go back to school on Monday. I hope she is right, but she's a lot more positive about this than I am.

Who's the most famous alum of your high school? Most famous in the Blusky crowd for the shitty things he did: Tony Zaccardi.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

WE WANT ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORS BACK.

with renewed conviction: Tom Homan is a bitch

Someone out there investigating all the drone activity? My block/immediate neighborhood had a bunch of them last night and neighbors got video. Everyone assumes it’s ICE.

I don't have a lot of love for Koo Koo, but this is pretty great. youtu.be/yT3mxcK96rg

ICE has been active this morning staging in St Anthony so we still need people out patrolling our neighborhoods. I’m headed to the Capitol today ahead of session starting next week to work on the 70 bills we have around ICE.

My sense of Minnesota today is that there’s less tear gas and the same amount of unlawful detention, destruction of families, loss of livelihood, people in hiding. There is less tear gas at places like Lake and Lyndale, so it’s not making news.

This could be a response to dozens of different things over the past week. Incompetence paired with evil and it is exhausting.

ACAB, but I do like when the Bloomington police catch people in sex trafficking and underage prostitution stings.

Learned today that I likely have a claim to Canadian Citizenship thanks to a Reddit post. Would like very much for me and my kid to become Canadians in the near future. Both for the escape plan features and the travelling on a non-US passport features.

However my Internal ICE Sources say they’re having a field day outstate, picking up tons of people with zero local opposition. Nightmarish. I can’t believe I’m saying this but come back to Minneapolis where it’s a fair fight
