Day 1 of summer vacation and I've already been hit with the "there's nothing to eat". Our fridge is fully stocked with fruits, vegetables, cheese, yogurt, and protein shakes. he has 4 kinds of chips, 2 kinds of graham crackers, and fruit roll ups in his snack bin. I have no idea what you want, kid

So, to be clear, this is illegal if produced within the 90 days before a nominating convention and 18 days before the primary on August 11th. The PAC released in the brief two-month period they could and took advantage of gaps in the law. Shameful www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cit...

I have 2 tickets for Barber's Adagio for Strings, Friday night at 8 downtown. If anyone would like to attend I'm happy to gift them, as I can no longer attend. Just offering before turning them back to the orchestra!

I am planning a record shop crawl/day trip and would love to know your must-stop vinyl spots in metro area, SE MN or western Wisconsin (within around a 2hr drive or so away). Shout out to Electric Fetus, Barely Brothers, and Caydence but they're regular stops so you don't have to tell me those :)

The audacity to try and get votes in the DFL primary, having entirely skipped the caucus process, and running on an anti immigration platform Anyway the Andrew yang endorsement is unsurprising I guess hughmctavish.com

happy pride 💕

I can't deny the convenience of the "e-book" but going to the library and leaving with an armful of hardcovers feels like getting away with something

Summer music at Lake Harriet bandshell, and the amazing array of restaurants where twenty bucks will make you the happiest person alive

(Deep breath) Jucy Lucys are alright but not all that exciting

Sorry it seems like it may just be at the Eagan location! I got excited without realizing it might just be that store

Raspberries are 99c, blueberries are 2.99 and blackberries are 2.50 at hyvee and they all look fantastic! Everything has been so expensive lately that it was such a joy to fill up a basket with fruits that are usually a treat!

I don't post much about streaming, but I'm doing a 12 hour Twitch stream tomorrow and I hope it'll be a party! Lots planned: -Coffee chat on the patio -Video Games: Strinova, Palia, Repo/YapYap, Fortnite -Cooking -Chat games -Legos -Giveaways Find me at twitch.tv/verdant_wonder starting at 7am!

If you wanted to set up a trap to kidnap me this is exactly how youd do it

I have never been very interested in star wars but the mandalorian grogu film was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed the music. The person in the front row who spent the ENTIRE MOVIE scrolling on their phone apparently wasn't into it

Tonight we went to a class for kids to stay home alone. The educator said, "it's important for kids to practice independence as they grow, because you don't want their first experience with serious responsibility to be behind the wheel of a car" and I'm going to be thinking about that for a while

OutFront is Minnesota's largest 2SLGBTQIA+ advocacy organization. They are organizing towards an equitable world where all members of our communities are free to lead lives of opportunity and full self-expression. I'm honored to have earned OutFront Minnesota Action's endorsement.

The doggy daycare sends me pictures, and they always get one that looks like he's receiving shocking news as an actor in a soap opera

Thrilled for the kind, helpful responses! I have taken express buses and the light rail before but it's felt daunting to try more. Thanks for not making fun of me 😄 I am working on asking for help more and relying on my car less so this is a lovely exercise in both! I'll reach out to folks soon.

Genuine request, is there someone who would teach me how to figure out transit routes, stops, and schedules? I don't feel confident enough to navigate anything more complicated than a straight point A-B and the uncertainty is difficult as an autistic person. Goal is to find a route to take to work.

My unemployment officially runs out near the end of this month, they cut off my food stamps and I still haven't found anything. If you work at a call center and are hiring, if you would be willing to refer me I would be eternally grateful.

THERE ARE BUFFLEHEADS AT BDE MAKA SKA. DAY MADE

I'm in the process of de-amazoning and the last holdout is my kid's Echo, which recently auto-updated to a chatty AI. Last night he made a statement and it validated what he said. He said "am I actually right?" and it said "I'm programmed to be enthusiastic and positive about whatever you tell me"

If anyone is missing the (g)olden days there's a strongbad game on steam that is everything you would expect it to be

When I first scrolled past this picture I briefly thought this was the priest from the movie Casper

I got my son from school early today. We had lunch, wandered the boardwalk at Harriet Alexander, had some quiet time in the sun reading and drawing together, played games over coffee at Makwa, then went home and sat on the patio playing hangman until sunset. Best day in a while, all sans screens!

Let's domesticate raccoons together someday

My son asked me to "put on something vibey" tonight so I introduced him to Khruangbin and Tame Impala. He liked a few songs and said it was "almost but not quite" what he had in mind when he said vibey. Any guesses what might hit the target? Maybe something with synth?

Quiet night at the saints game, it was kind of weird, but a beautiful night to be out! With a $7 ticket, $6 root beer, and a $2 bus pass to get there, also a delightfully affordable date night

I don’t wanna participate in capitalism. I wanna go home and nap with my dog.

I had the most delightful food at Qahwah in Eagan tonight. Please check them out if you're able!

15 year old me is over the moon about getting Weezer tickets. 38 year old me is laughing that it's in the year 2026 and that I bought them because my kid wants to go

Living paycheck to paycheck is so often framed by financial influencers as laziness or a personal failure, but there is no amount of penny-pinching that can get you out of a situation like this

I love that I found some people my age to march with, because someone suggested we go out to eat/the bar after and we all ultimately decided to go home because our joints hurt

US ME/CFS friends, @solveme.bsky.social & @meactnet.bsky.social have a tool up to facilitate emails and calls to your Members of Congress—including asking for at least $50 million to fund the ME/CFS Research Roadmap. If possible, it’s important to do this today as the House has a deadline at 6pm!

I had no idea about this aspect of Hughes' life and work.

This dreadful book banning bill, H.R. 7661, has made it out of committee and into the House. It's time to call your reps.
