Is Art-A-Whirl as good as the State Fair? If not, it's pretty close.

Kayo in bergundy? But, can we still call him Butterball? #NatsuBasho #Sumo

Holycrap!

C'mon staffing, give me the Nurses our patients need. Being Charge is a nice change from working the floor, but it's a whole different kind of stressful. #nursing

Joanna Page is the most mom and best mom that @taskmaster.tv has ever had. She is an absolute delight. Tell us more stories Joanna.

Alright. It's time to end #NatsuBasho right now. #sumo After finishing ~60/120 entries last tournament, this is looking better.

#NatsuBasho day 0: Hoshoryusho! 😭😭 Natsu Basho day 2: If not Hoss, then let it be Papayasu! *watching him get up off the floor on day 3* 😭😭 Who the heck am I supposed to cheer for now? Kotoeiho??? #sumo

I will never not cry at work during an honor walk. #nursing #DonateLife #OrganTransplant

I hate mounting bike tires on rims. It's hard. It hurts my hands. I'm not good at it. Then when I do get it in, I don't even feel satisfaction, but rather just feel like swearing. Life is hard. #bikesky

Blubarb pie for the Nurses Week potluck tomorrow. #Bakesky

I'll be presenting on #sumo and being a new sumo fan for Nerd Nite (@nerdnitetc.bsky.social) at Black Hart (@blackhartstp.com) on Wednesday, May 20. I'm looking forward to sharing my unexpected love for this sport with lots of other nerds out there!

The Natsu basho is starting on Sunday. Time to get your @sumokaboom.bsky.social #sumo bingo card! Here's mine!

Sour cream rhubarb pie, and asparagus ham quiche. #BakeSky #BreakfastPie tomorrow!!

Oh look. More racist bullshit from the Trump administration.

High class evening at the Olson household: smoked salmon, stinky cheese, cheap box wine, and Taskmaster NZ.

You'd think after years of having a fragile back, and sometimes paying dearly for not doing my PT that I'd learn. Nope. Riding my bike hard yesterday sure felt good. Feeling pretty iffy today. PT is so booooring. Why can't I have the back of a 20-something?

One of the best things in #SaintPaul.

Someone get this tag. I am looking for a new destination to ride to today.

I'm at the Eden Prairie Scheel's for reasons. Outside of this sporting goods amusement park are bronze statues of presidents for some reason. There is Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln... and Ronald Fucking Reagan.

This is a the dawning of the age if asparagus! #SaintPaul #FarmersMarket Happiest place in town.

I love riding with my kids, but I need a class or workshop to learn how to deal with terrain, jumps, and other technical riding. Road riding, this is not.

Remember the Haymarket martyrs and all labor martyrs who fought for radical things like the 40 hour work week and the weekend. Stand in solidarity with those who continue struggle and strive for workers' rights and justice.

How do you feel after a work shift? After my #nursing shift, I feel mentally and physically exhausted with little energy for anything. Is that just work, though? Is this simply nursing, or does everyone feel this way?

Frey?

I love this (unnamed) coffee shop, but the crust on this quiche is a crime against baked goods.

Film you have watched more than six times with gif. Hard mode: no franchises, disney, Pixar, Spielberg, DreamWorks, ghibli, wachowskis, Cameron.

Not sure what I got delivering papers, but my first hourly was also $4.25/hour in about 1994 stocking shelves at a grocery store and later st Subway as a certified Sandwich Artist.

The new Banzuke is out! The new Banzuke is out! That means #sumo is just around the corner.

My wife: James, what are you working on? James: For language arts, I'm supposed to write a parody of something. My wife: And? James: I'm changing "Never Gonna Give You Up" to "Never Gonna Change My Ways" and make the song about white men with big trucks.

Fuck

My wishlist for downtown/riverfront #SaintPaul. @mayorher.bsky.social, please do your best: - funicular - canoe landing with free canoes - velodrome - free range baby llamas and goats - a warren of a market with food, art, and handicrafts - summer: ice cream, winter: soup - a playground for teens

The bike I sold my old tri bike for. Mountain bikes have changed a bit since I got my rigid Trek 800-series in 1992. I remember Mountain bike mags discussing 2 full inches of suspension in the newest forks. Feels weird to ride, compared to my road bike. Fun, but weird. #BikeSky

I'm slowly writing a short D&D adventure for friends, and came across the description of a town I created previously, which includes the phrase, "...the people generally live in pleasant mundanity." Oh to live in such a fantasy world.

Saint Paul isn't serious until it builds a funicular.

I would like to pass on two books to anyone here in #SaintPaul or #Minneapolis who would be interested. 🧵

AI-powered gig work for #nursing. Is there anything even remotely good about this? Worker protection aside, this seems terrible for patient safety, too, which isn't mentioned in the article. The idea of simply showing up somewhere and trying to jump right in and do patient cares is terrifying.

@vcorenmitchell.bsky.social Victoria, we miss you. When does Only Connect come back?

@kwiktrip.bsky.social Sure has been fun puking my guts out all night long after eating chicken tenders from your Otsego, MN store. It's like the tenders said, "See ya next time" with each bite.

Some people may say that eating Kwik Trip chicken tenders is a bad idea. I say that maybe they were right.

Whoever decided to put linoleum over original hexagonal tiles in the old Mayo building/hospital on the U of M campus should be prosecuted for crimes against archetectural dignity.

It's a good day for a ride. Wear sun screen, you pasty white folks. #bikesky #30daysofbiking #Minneapolis

I got a notification that I've been with Fairview for 7 years. Hmmm... I wonder what it's like to enjoy or have pride in the organization you work for. Don't get me wrong. I love my unit and the interdisciplinary team I work with. But Fairview? Meh (At best). #nursing
