"it's a marathon, not a sprint / it's 92 degrees in October, in Minnesota / they cancelled that marathon yesterday..." Sharing partly because it is again too hot out, and partly because it's Bandcamp Friday, the best day to support underground music: guanteandbigcats.bandcamp.com/album/all-dr...

The rumors are true: Boneshaker is headed to a new location! We need your help to dig up our bones and move on over to 26th and Lyndale. We're hoping to raise $15,000 total, $6k of that by 10/17. Learn more at bit.ly/boneshakermove and thank you for helping Boneshaker thrive!

Your friend Dan is in Wired talking about thirst.

Pulled together some MPLS election 2025 resources for friends who aren't super tuned into local politics: endorsements, voter guides, etc. Thumbnail is the "rank all 3" sign via @mplsforthemany.com. Those friends maybe aren't on bsky, but feel free to share this on FB or LinkedIn(??) or whatever:

Start your climb of Berg x Berg x Berg now! Thanks to my fellow bergs, @gachzoldberg.bsky.social and Dan Rosenberg for the fun, and to @ghostcitypress.bsky.social for giving it a home!

These look FABULOUS printed!

I’ll add to this: latest update I got via email from our local indivisible team is that the big rally at the capitol at 1pm is still on. Security/logistics team working on any necessary shifts, and the overall tone obviously shifting. Do what feels right for you; I’m heading over there.

RANKING LITERALLY EVERY PROPHET IN THE BIBLE BY HOW GOOD OF A POSTER THEY WOULD BE IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER NO I AM NOT KIDDING (1/69)

If you have warm clothes, especially masc, please drop them off for us!
