Just in case you need a little joy today: here are some lovely llama costumes from the 4-H costume contest at the State Fair 📸: Aaron Lavinsky/The Minnesota Star Tribune

@seankershaw.bsky.social The Aldine pedestrian bridge is getting a little hairy to navigate, any chance somebody could come cut this back a bit?

I don’t know who needs to hear this but when your kid is playing with her squishy dog toy in the car seat and it explodes and she covers herself and the seat in a mysterious white cornstarchy substance and you have to immediately wash her off and wash her clothes and take apart the car seat (1/2)
