Someone who totally definitely is not Nick Kruse is posting about Latonya all over reddit and dear lord it’s exhausting

I am once again begging campaigns to keep better records of the fact that they’ve already talked to me extensively.

slept horribly last night and it’s not fair how shitty I feel today as a result of that so exhausted

It’s Get Low. The answer is Get Low.

Professor of religion here: can confirm.

Also, few things will earn candidates my respect faster than responding, “I don’t know the answer to that.” You don’t need to know everything! No one does! It’s weird if you’re able to rail off an answer to my hyperspecific and/or extremely vague question about a recent event! Just be honest!

Something I’ve started asking candidates, inspired by people who’ve been in office way too fucking long: How long do you realistically need to be in this seat to accomplish your goals? In what scenario will you recognize that it’s time for someone else to be in this role?

Good call with Filipovich just now. Still haven’t decided who I’m going to support for auditor though because they really aren’t making this easy. Very open to hearing thoughts on this race from anyone who is not a candidate for state auditor!

You're not gonna like my suggestion for making friends IRL but... Find a hobby/thing you like Do the hobby Reactivate your facebook account and find people doing that hobby locally in groups. Sorry, you had to reactivate facebook or you can just die bored and alone

Tour de Lucé would be so much easier if the breakfast pizzas were available for more than 2 hours. I want 4 of them, but that’s impossible. So now I can only choose 3. Timing is still tight on that though, which means I have to decide which one of those I’m willing to miss out on. Ughhhh.

Catholics do not read the bible, but Trump can’t read. So really this one’s a toss-up.

🛰Satle #443 2/6 🟥🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜ satle.ca I have never gotten one of these right, much less on the second try. Thanks, college degree!

Is this an error in today’s @cluesbysam.com puzzle? I’m counting 5. I got a bunch of errors/guesses and had to use a hint because of this clue.

Also things that were wild to me: - When I got on stage to give my speech, I said my name and pronouns and people started cheering. - Peggy Flanagan knows who I am. - I can, in fact, be a bridge builder and I connected well with some who are typically in the more moderate camp. We CAN be a big tent.

The number of people who are biking through tingling, numbness, and full on pain as though these are totally normal parts of being on a bike astounds me. The fact that the majority of them are women does not.

Forgot I wanted to try cleaning the brakes on my e-bike. Turns out it uses those stupid 6-pointed screws so I cannot get the brake pads out. I kind of hate this bike a lot.

Got all our garden stuff from a school plant sale and Leitner’s this morning. Now, because bike maintenance is never done, it’s time to figure out why the tires on Colin’s road bike don’t feel like inflating.

Luna’s giving excellent live updates, as always, from the CD5 convention.

Oooh I knew this would happen: the DFL scheduled the governor endorsement vote for Friday. They’re really hoping no one shows up.

She wants to lose, right? That’s the only explanation for any of this.

They came back with a new person who was riding a scooter in a long black dress with a dark red velvet cape over it and had like perfectly white-blonde hair. If the sun weren’t out I’d legit think she was a vampire (complimentary).

Oh also the water fountains in St. Paul still aren’t on and I’m sure it’s because last week was winter but still

What’s the collective term for a group of goth youths? Cause one of those just walked past my house.

If your Apple Watch dies in the middle of a bike ride, your iPhone does not continue recording the workout even though it’s fully capable of doing that now 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

i always say that omaha got way cooler after i left (correlation not causation). does having its own penis building make that statement even more true or has the city reverted back to being embarrassing?

I was told by her team that Klob voted for all of Trump’s judicial appointments because “some of them are good judges.” What a load of horseshit. I know Trump didn’t appoint the SCOVA justices, but they’re a nice shiny example of why Amy is wrong about this (and most other things).

I bought a bunch of skorts to wear while biking, but the liner shorts kept riding up. The solution was a $10 tube of silicone, a moderately steady hand, and 24 hours of curing time. Easiest fix ever.

A meme/text generator for ones that looks like salted nut roll or nut goodie packaging or ads.

Last night I learned that giardiniera is very much not for the faint of heart/people with no tolerance for heat. My face is still sweating but also I def recommend trying the new(ish) hotdogs next time you’re at @blackhartstp.com!

Gonna do some crop art instead of taking a nap and will probably regret that later but that’s a problem for future me

Echoing Luna here. All this does is harm us. There is no positive side to talking to this shitass “news” site. bsky.app/profile/star...

I will always speak up against those causing harm to trans people, even if their politics are aligned with mine. I will work with anyone to aid, support, and defend trans people and trans rights, even if they're more centrist or conservative than I am.

I unequivocally condemn and disavow Nick's actions in running not only to a Republican news outlet, but a MAGA-run, transphobic one. These are not the actions of an ally to our cause. Indeed, they actively put trans people in the party in danger.

Awooooooo

One of the easiest ways for me to tell if my SSRI is working is how much time I spend ruminating/approaching a doom spiral. It has been several days at least since my last rumination 🥲

Met Gala local angle

Lunds & Byerlys - Highland Park (St. Paul) 🧻 the carpeted grocery store of toilet paper (complimentary) Don’t be fooled by the low opacity. This toilet paper has a decent amount of heft, delightful handfeel, and excellent perforation. It is appropriately absorbent and smooth but not soft.

idc if this is real or not. I laughed, and that’s what matters.

I accidentally stayed awake past peak tiredness and now I can’t fall asleep

Why didn’t anyone warn me about how difficult it is to plan a route for Tour de Lucé (especially when coordinating with people across the river)

lol just got a call from Klob’s actual campaign because they didn’t bother marking down that I already talked to that one senator for 40 minutes. “I’m very happy to share with you that I will not be supporting Senator Klobuchar and there’s literally nothing she can do to earn my vote.” — me

daily reminder that Amy Klobuchar is a terrible person and will be a terrible governor

I don’t have to use PMS colors often anymore and so I forgot how fucking annoying it is that they’re no longer available in Adobe. I really should dig out the overpriced swatch books I bought after college and just go back to using those.

either @pedalingprof.bsky.social rode past my house while I was doing my traditional post-ride sitting on the stairs/strava upload, or there are two people out there who look just like him and also have the same helmet

yes, you are invited

do you ever just gaze at the mendota bridge from the shep lookout point and think to yourself, “why the fuck did i just ride across that? it’s so long and the railing is so short.”
