Repost with your first celebrity crush. Sigh…..Indy, at age 11. Iconic. And Harrison Ford still has it.

Repost with your first celebrity crush (if you feel like it) Both of 'em It was a lot for a first grader Then there was H.R. Puffinstuff swoon

Whut? Should be a word….

Moj has finally captured his mortal enemy - his tail - and will not let it go. 🐕

I can’t stop laughing at all the awesome “Pope Leo is weak on crime” content in my feeds right now. Jesus god, some of it is 😂😂😂😂😂

You love to see those L’s piling up for JD. Stellar weekend, no notes.

Bruuuuuuuuce

It’s #InternationalPuppyDay?!?! Every day is puppy day here. This little pogo-bouncy, spazzy, bitey great big soft cuddly chaos tornado is almost a year old and we adore him.

A PSA, in case anyone needs it: don’t eat your bed, there are very serious (and expensive) consequences. The puppy is recovering well on day 5 post-op, but almost certainly would have died without surgery. Little stinker.

I’m going to wait to call this a victory until I’m sure the words are followed by actions….lasting actions. Why would anyone give them the gift of trust on this?

My recent searches (repeated every 4 years: What is Super G? What is Big Air? What is the difference between a toe loop and a salchow? Why are moguls like that? Skiing and shooting - WTF?

Last for today—the East Side of St. Paul has great need, but gets less attention than Minneapolis. This rent relief fund is available to those families and could use some love.

If you're not in Minnesota and have bought into the drawdown talk....it's all B.S. The only difference since Tom Homan showed it is they haven't murdered another Minnesotan....yet. We're still be terrorized by the Federal Government and the majority of elected officials seem unable to protect us.

Minnesotans have all “studied the playbook.” The playbook:

For Alex. For Renee. For MN. For all of us.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

This deserves very broad circulation. So many examples of illegal 🧊intimidation and harassment here. Such immense bravery on display by observers.

Hey, Minnesota folks! Here's a potential project for those of you with website creation/management chops. It would be BEYOND AWESOME to get a Defend the 651 system up and running. (Credit to @mauratwit.bsky.social for thinking of this and getting the ball rolling!)

Who can recommend good orgs in the east metro doing food/grocery/other delivery for neighbors who feel unsafe? #FuckIce

From POTUS "The fact that they had a boat land there 500 years ago does not mean they own the land" - ummmmmm

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

it's a scary time here. things are going to be really hard, maybe for a long time. but we're going to win. we're going to win.

It is shocking how quickly my brain & body have gone from “yay, relaxing holiday break full of good food, rest, and eating, I feel great!” to “WTF why do I have so many meetings, why do my back and neck hurt, and why am I awake at 3 am and acting like a salty B, I hate this.” Gosh, what changed?

Perennial reminder to MPR that analysts other than Larry Jacobs and David Schultz exist.

NPR’s word of choice to describe the current mood in Venezuela seems to be “indignant.” That seems like a weird choice, even given his unpopularity there.

I am belatedly watching The Last of Us - season 2, episode 2. It’s basically the battle of helm’s deep, down to the shots of the women and children cowering in the basements. Probably not a new observation, but I’m behind in my tv consumption.

The eternal lament of the St. Paulite: why the F can’t we have alley plowing? I’m too old for this shit.

Key takeaways from my Brontë reread: 1) I am still 💯 #TeamJane and think Cathy is an asshole. 2) Wuthering Heights is an anti-romance, and pretty much everyone is horrible. It’s grueling. Why do people like this? 3) I would choose Rochester over St. John Rivers any day. St. John is extra horrible.

Important update: my 7-month old coworker is dreaming about what I will taste like the next time he bites me in his excitement about….everything.

This is absolute horseshit. Way to squander a great election.

Breaking news: new puppy! 6 mo old husky/shepherd mix, the sweetest and most playful boy ever. We were dogless for 6 months after many decades of dogs, and that sucked. He has just slid right into our lives already as though he’s always been ours. #DogsOfBlueSky 🐕

One year ago today, my dad died unexpectedly. He was the best and I really miss him, all the time. That’s it, that’s the whole skeet. Here’s a picture of my dad.

OMG, how can an earworm stay in my head for 2 weeks? I don’t even like Dire Straits. I forced myself to listen to the whole thing today b/c I heard that sometimes works. If it doesn’t, I might need surgery to excise it. m.youtube.com/watch?v=vcwl...

The revolution starts NOW. Steve says so.

It was the omg what now of times, it was the seriously wtf is happening of times

Power is out (55106). Bummer.

German literature. And…..nope! My German skills have so atrophied that I have resorted to Duolingo, Love is Blind Germany and tween German audiobooks to try to rebuild.

“This bill, if enacted, will smother rural communities by closing small-town hospitals, piling on medical debt and stress and laying off thousands of workers right here in Minnesota,” writes columnist Aaron Brown.

Worth noting that not only is this “rural hospital” fund temporary and a fraction of the losses, it’s also designed to be a political slush fund since half the allocation is at discretion of the CMS administrator. Barely even eyewash.

My god they’re just trying to get me to cry every tear I have. 💔

For some reason this post is getting a bunch of new likes and reposts….which I love because these are adorable pictures, but also hate because our beloved Moj died in April at age 14 and we are still heartbroken about that and miss him so much. He was the best boy. Glad others find him adorable too!

The really sad thing is how I can already hear exactly how they’ll blame Biden (and Harris, and Obama, and Clinton) for the inevitable retaliation. And how quickly that will become the accepted truth. I hate this timeline.

Ok I know this is not the main point here, but I think someone needs a refresher on “literally” vs “figuratively.”

I am still reeling.  I am also sitting with the fact that our historic 2023 accomplishments were only possible because of the monumental leadership of Hortman and Dziedzic, and now we’ve lost them both.

When I think about Melissa Hortman, I think about this list. Rest in power.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Horrific news. I hope we hear they’re going to be ok. Targeting democratic public servants is a horrific escalation of the political violence we are seeing every day. And I’m sure the timing is no coincidence. JFC.
