just....enjoy this

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

some personal news: we are fostering a kitten to see if Charlie would like having a friend! her name is Octavia but we’ll prob call her something more fun while we have her. she and Charlie won’t meet for 10 days and for now he’s just curious wtf is in the office

One of the all time greats. I have a Jason Garcia poster in my childhood bedroom.

My favorite Election Day texts are the ones I get from my brother when he’s filling his ballot out in the booth 😂 If you haven’t cast your ballot yet, rank Michael Wilson, Tom Olson 1 & 2. And for 3, pick between Adam Schneider and Amber Fredrick! Let’s elect a progressive park board!

walking to coffee in the north loop and some lady, who i have never seen before, just stopped me to say i better stay away from her kid and that if she ever saw me talk to them she’d smash my face in, then as i walked away she said “that’s your last warning you little fucking bitch”

7:21 am and i was voter 58 at 12-7 😳

imagine having mailers in your support that say we need republican voices in trump’s america in 2025 and still trying to act like you’re a progressive

i can’t wait for the day that clothing brands finally begin using models who are average height for their websites. i get being tall for the runway but when i, at 5’4, try to buy clothes online it doesn’t help to know how they look on women a full 6” or more taller than me!

A creative campaign has put the spotlight on a down-ballot race.

today in “homeownership is so silly”: i want to hang art in our common areas, but to do so we first need to clean out the shed attached to the garage

thinking about doing a bit where i post every uneventful transit trip i have to help counter the narrative that transit is unsafe, since it’s only unusual incidents that get talked about

the party of making america great and preserving our culture and history, or whatever

do you ever exercise too hard and make your legs are sore for a few days and then worry just a little that you wouldn’t be able to run away if someone tried chasing you or is that just me lmao

there’s a guy at my gym who for sure has a thing for me and while i am happily partnered i also forgot how fun it is to know that a stranger is into you

i got the covid vaccine yesterday and i know it’s good for me, but god, at what cost

is it possible to achieve dignity after biking somewhere in pouring rain or am i doomed to forever look soggy when i do this

envisioning a parks & rec skit in which a mustached man is passionately arguing against a project element he doesn’t like and the staff person he’s talking to calmly reaches out to snip a few excessively long mustache hairs

i somehow got mail from TPUSA that includes a letter from r*l*y ga*nes and i can’t believe the party of “participation trophies have gone too far” has chosen a woman who tied for *fifth* place as their spokesperson

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends. But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month. See you soon, NYC.

checking in from route 94 to reaffirm that we need more bus lanes (especially on 6th st and on 94 itself)

imagine having a baby and having people say the baby is cute but not immediately follow it with the caveat that not all babies are cute, absolutely devastating

i found a set of buick keys at the 46th/hiawatha strip mall, anyone know of someone who might’ve lost them?

lol what a nerd

tired: “student driver” bumper stickers used to excuse bad driving inspired:

FROST REPEAT - Liz Schepers gets the OT winner and the Frost win the Walter Cup in back to back years #PWHL

i watched the frost win on saturday and today, which was v fun and i highly recommend, but had to log on during the wolves game to see the discourse on the free throw merchant

Not sure the Wolves can beat these guys. They simply don't have anyone as skilled at Falling Down as SGA.

i failed to get a picture of my favorite work in time but toronto has some proper Graffiti and i love to see it compared to the low-effort tagging all over the cities

my offer to america: we bring woke back

pls why is the theme of this public transit conference keynote that we should all adopt ai

why, in 2025, are meeting organizers still putting 1’ (?) wide chairs as close together as they can go?? no one can sit in adjacent chairs without having to twist so they’re not touching one another

austin observations so far: - i have seen way more gay and lesbian couples holding hands here than i ever do in minneapolis - possibly related, their downtown is far better than either of ours and the south congress shopping district is far superior to anything we have

sorry to be an annoying minnesotan but i find it very funny that it’s 45° in austin and people keep mentioning how chilly it is while i’m sweating in just a lightweight sweater and jeans

my coworkers and i have discussed what the signs would be if we were in crisis and we said it would be driving everywhere for me but honestly if i ever started wearing stuff like “wifey” that would be a much better indicator that i am unwell

ok some of y’all might remember my hair loss saga from the other website—it is time for an update! after much trial and error, i started a low dose of minoxidil in september and it is amazing the difference it’s made after the initial shed. highly rec if you are also dealing with AGA

instead of pools and gyms, developers should start building apartments/condos with rentable secure spaces for practicing music, tinkering on bikes, woodworking etc. bc those are often the things that push people toward an SFH when they would otherwise prefer a different option

as a person with adhd, please never tell me that you’re running late for plans together bc i guarantee i’m already also running late and that info will just make it worse

we deserve a snow day in june to make up for 74° in mid march i don’t live in minnesota for this

i’d argue they’re not even going with a “what will make the least people mad” mindset because so much of their base is so mad about the complete lack of backbone!! it’s literally just not wanting to fight for anything

does anyone have a photo of a mural on a boarded-up Lake St business (or similar somewhat hopeful image) from 2020? would like to use it in a conference presentation with credit as desired

like six years ago i tweeted that people playing music on the train should get bluetooth speakers so at least the sound quality would be good and now it’s come true and i’m so sorry everyone for what i’ve manifested

hey i know her

What could be more cruel than this: describing the policy of trans eradication as both low consequence and positive impact. We deserve better.

if you want to give me money so i can pay my medical bills and not get evicted you can venmo me @sabrina999. anything i don’t need i will donate to trans lifeline when i get a new job.

Guess we are doing this again. We’re not gonna abandon the red states we’re gonna build solidarity with the citizens inside the rightwing autocratic core.

The Washington Post and LA Times editorial pages have gone full MAGA, MSNBC has purged all of its anti-Trump anchors, and Twitter is owned by a literal Nazi. Here's why liberal media bias is still a problem.
