Gotta say it: It is nice to see you again MSPsky. You're the only feed I have the attention span for. The only feed that matters.

We already have a time machine. It's called music.

**Update** She slept with me for about 5 hours. Before this the only affection allowable has been exclusively when in the vulnerable place of "busy-poopin". So, this is truly a special day. My humiliation is no longer a requirement to build trust.

Wendy Torrance decided to share the bed with me tonight. A first. I've been chosen.

These could be the most important topics of this generation. I would love to learn more. I say this based on things taught to me by the women that work with me. About culture, attire, education, ambition, and more.

Just corrected a colleague who joked about a man not being "cute enough" to be a secretary. A woman defended the man as just having fun. I felt an immediate sense of paranoia that threats from the patriarchy were imminent in my workplace. These problems are real. I'm talking to you, men of bsky.

This absolutely wonderful documentary on Cedar-Riverside's music scene just dropped on PBS. And it is worth every second. Yes, Prince is a favorite son, but the music scene was also so much bigger than just the downtown crew. The working class had it going on in a big big way.

I hereby pronounce my own modest individual masculinity in full frontal defiance of this toxic and faux masculinity in any "manosphere" or "rape academy subculture". /1

Damn right.

Tina Smith, holding court on the senate floor, fighting for clean water, public lands, for all of us, against foreign greed and their poisonous rape of the natural world. She's a badass. Protect the BWCA

Man, how I wish Tina Smith wasn't retiring. She's a goddamn champion.

In a moment of proving zero in depth research Time magazine shows its depleted quality by naming Jacob Frey in the 100 most influential .... Did they even check with a single local? My god. Who do they think he has influenced?

Somehow these nice Minnesota Twins are on fire and just climbed to 1st place in the division. Wouldn't it be something if they battled through a season, taking down massive payroll teams - and just won it all? It's a big ask, but why not? Go Twins!

A24 feels like the future of good story telling in film. And it is uncomplicated. Their content is eclectic because the platform seems to give a lot of room for freedom of thought and creativity.

America, instead of this daily toxic global stress - we could have had a hopeful, smart, black woman presi... Nevermind.

This is my birthday wish: "That nobody suffers the long term challenges of losing stable housing because of the occupation of a lousy warpig pedophile." We shouldn't have to ask, but please give a little to the people of my 'hood. I'm 50 today, and I'm at work, and I'm tired, but I'm not quitting.

The alley-oop is an offensive basketball maneuver in which a player fakes a shot that is actually a lobbed pass for another teammate to catch and dunk. When the Wolves do it, it is an Alley-Ope. Let this be a thing.

I am against sex shaming, but... If your goons go after my neighbors, abuse them in front of their grandkds, neglect the diligence to check their status, and then drag them outside naked in sub -10 temps, then it becomes fair game to pay you and any of your creepy family the same lack of privacy.

I call BS on this rating. It is literally the least romantic place in the entire state. Maybe the nation. Possibly the world.

Heck yes. Get out there and love each other, Minnesota.

Working with people, even independently, creates accountability and community. I am so grateful for Z and A at Studio Yarrow for hosting workspace. Just the act of showing up every week prevents blocks and energizes inspiration. First article for their new mag is expected to drop mid to late spring.

Hi all. Today I'm barnraising and urgent need for a family with young children referred to us by an MPS social worker who owes February and March and have received eviction threats. Total need is $3600. Can you chip in or share? 🌻

My quest? A tribe called.

Gas was $3. No wars. No occupation. No corruption. Competent leaders. Stable employment. What were people complaining about again? Looking back, those days were good. I don't get what anyone had to complain about. Propaganda was powerful though, so here we are. With the stupid warpig pedophile.

The bright light of a stunning pun dimmed under a questionably dense lampshade.

Sadly, can confirm so much of this with completely different people with so much of the same struggles. Our communities are devastated. Keep being kind helpers whenever you can. And with whatever you have left, please feed the arts.

Untouched in a week, but the latest was very generous. I gotta keep asking because pretty much the whole neighborhood has fallen behind. 2026 is gonna be rough.

Worthy Thread.

I often wonder if US Mail carriers have a special connection to "The Postman" 1997, especially in these fascist times. For reference, here is Tom Petty (RIP) reminding a simple mailman "No, *you're* famous".

This is a legitimately solid advisory warning to heed. If you don't want to ask her how she knows. Ask me how I know she knows.

Guys, I've always known the history of Cedar Riverside has been rich. But the more granular I get digging into the past, the more rich it becomes. Holy shit. The people of this neighborhood have always been spectacularly unique and cool as hell. /1

Suzanne Locke (she/her) is a writer, mother, grandmother, and a huge advocate for Raising Sisters, a support group for people previously incarcerated in the Shakopee facility. Originally from Bemidji, she now lives in Roseville, … 1/6

Come up with a new motto for the University of MN - Wrong answers only. I'll start: "Sink Your Boat"

I nominate Doug for Potentate of Planet Earth. And no, I do not care about the risks of people micturating in the new transit system.

Abandon The Future! Don't Row the Boat. Just sit in it instead!

Another Minnesota Tragedy looming, caused by the federal attacks upon our state. Keep helping people. Keep donating to support systems. Keep showing up for each other. Keep being a good neighbor.

We’ve had decades of research demonstrating the value of a Housing First approach to helping communities. Here is some more…. ⬇️

moments later with a hoagie in one hand, Kyle Schwarber chased him out after overhearing "losers" muttered not-quite under his breath. He scurried away in his new Air K$H sneaks.

So happy for former Minnesota Twin, Luis Arraez! Dude hopped up and down like a child at the commissioner during the medal recipient ceremony. We never should've traded him away. Best in the World! Attaboy, Arraez and Shine!

She howls for food. She abuses me when I'm pooping and vulnerable. There is zero cuddling because that is the full extent of our relationship. Everything she longs for is kept private. She's an enigma, wrapped in a mystery, full of secret sauce. The human love remains unrequited.

Another RENT transfer for the public record has been made. PUC is already distributing to the renters who need it most. (posting the receipts for posterity and trust) Donation site in the comments:

Please stop comparing rents to mortgages. They are not a 1:1 Comparison. So much is included in rent that is not included in a mortgage. In homeownership, EVERYTHING is A-La-Carte. - Everything.

A well written reminder note from my friend Nora @ KFAI - community powered radio:

I hope this doesn't just melt in a couple days. Give us at least a week before you melt. That was quite a bit of work. And I don't want it to be for nothin'.

Please do what you can to support neighbors in need. Thank you.

Do you remember your first crush? Spill the tea, skeeters.
