Heck of a drive home tonight.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

Cheers to GMHC AIDS Walks and Act Up in '90s NYC, to MN United for All Families in 2012, to cheering the Obergefell v Hodges decision 10 YEARS AGO TODAY...and not taking any of it for granted.

The FDA finally approved lenacapavir! Except it costs about $28,000 per year, which is almost as bad as what PrEP could be for some people after it was bounced from the list of ACA-protected preventative medications.

The National Guard has arrived in Los Angeles, but they were not requested by California. Both Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass made it clear that the state did not authorize or want federal troops deployed.

Woke up this morning, and it's 1992. Stay strong, LA✊🏼

I really don't want AI taking over the creative parts of my life, but feel free to wash my dishes and find my cancers.

We’re the Queerest generation since the 1960s and we’re not going ANYWHERE. From POST: poems, prayers and grudges.

Finished my 100th book, just before midnight

HS band playing an '80s throwback comp, and all us parents aren't even trying to be chill about it.

Nothing like being a parent walking around a place away from home your kid frequents, only to find a Tupperware item you didn't know you were missing, full of questionable leftovers.

Might have made a...slight miscalculation today in forgetting that tiramisu, especially when lovingly homemade by a coworker, can contain a significant amount of caffeine.

Supremely annoyed at the poll worker here who wore a political t-shirt while verifying my ID and address against the voter registration list. Illegal, and highly indecorous. Shame on you.

Say No to HIV Prevention cuts! win.newmode.net/alivenesspro...

That moment you remember that, unlike your teen, you are not, in fact, on spring break tomorrow

Please to be developing historical perspective and a spinal column and do the damn work. Do we have this? Absolutely not. Can we do this? Probably…but it involves doing the damn work.

Really want to take an Anatomy & Physiology course just so I can learn the names of all the things that hurt

0/10 did not enjoy my drive home tonight

The longest minute in my world is the last minute on my washer's spin cycle.

The wind is blowing hard enough to move all my heavy, metal furniture 😬

The teenager just asked his dad if he shrunk.

Really unhappy with how much the US military is recruiting from my child's high school this year.

I've been left unsupervised with an unusually large amount of cheese today. Preemptive apologies to my tomorrow's self.

Always a pleasurable visit to Tropes & Trifles.

Hey Twin Cities friends, 'How We Learn to Be Brave: Decisive Moments in Life and Faith' by Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is back in stock www.magersandquinn.com/product/HOW-...

May I suggest something radical? Have mercy on people. Even on here. What’s happening is unprecedented, so politicians, journalists, public servants etc are doing their best to adjust. Not doing exactly what you think they should doesn’t mean they’re giving up or giving in.

Art doesn't require you to understand it - it only demands you look at it. I do not need to be the target audience of every piece of art there is. 🧵

Something about being stuck home sick makes me crave all my favorite childhood meals.

Someone at work complimented my "90s grunge look" today and, yes actually that's exactly what I was intending.

Lá Fhéile Bríde shona daoibh! And also, Happy Black History Month!

Yes.

All of us aged 40+ are a protected class thanks to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, so I'm pretty we're also, technically, DEI hires.

Trade unions provide remarkable benefits to its members and offer protections to workers most wouldn't think of. Let's talk about my local chapter and what it does for me (us). A thread.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Our school district is closed tomorrow because temperatures promises to be -22°F at bus pick-up time. But we might hit a high of 0 by 2pm!

Leaning into quiet spaces today, but you know where to find me, and when you need me, I'll be there.

Practice saying “No.” No, I will not take away that person’s dignity. No, I will not deny care. No, I will not turn against my neighbor. Go through dark times as the person you want to be when we get to the other side.

The school I attended from grades 4-12 felt so strongly about Integrity, it was one of their three tenets (after Knowledge and Vision). I never appreciated how much that early foundation would affect my adult life until I grew up and saw it so lacking in the world.

Hey folks, there are photographers out there risking their health and their lives to document those devastating fires in LA. The least you can do is credit them by name.

If you're looking for a great read, consider The Backwater Sermons by @jayhulmepoet.bsky.social

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

True love is a partner who opens my car door for me so I don't have to touch the cold, snowy handle.

Back in MN, where it is currently *warmer* than it was in NJ.

My insurance company refuses to pay for the typhoid vaccines, recommended by the WHO, that we received prior to traveling to Mongolia. My plan states only that "vaccines are covered at 100%". The denial stated that they don't cover "vaccines for travel" then referenced a clause on something else
