I can't believe that people are voting for candidates with principles and visions for better futures. If you think this ends well, you must also believe that the future could be better. Which to me—an incredibly smart person—is a mistaken belief. We need people to compromise with the fascists.

doing yoga in the living room while listening to Rilo Kiley on vinyl, and it is quite glorious

we are slowly settling into our new house (i will start a thread at some point probably with pics and more details) but tonight we solved the "don't make the tv the centerpiece of the living room problem" by putting the tv on wheels!

yesterday safari lost all of my tabs, in the most confusing way; the tabs were all open but they were just the start page. something like 25 tabs (i don't hoard tabs!) and it was a pain in my ass to try and remember everything. do i set up automation to like, collect tabs now?

i wish our super unpopular head of state would resign

"I'd prefer not to."

went to the Stone Arch Bridge art fair and it was real fun and my partner and i treated ourselves to a couple pieces each of Danielle Everine pieces because everyone is perfect danielleeverine.com

kids have been gone all of 12 hours and i'm already contemplating buying myself a 3rd bicycle

my kids a) will often sarcastically say "let me guess, you love me" to me because i tell them so often how much I love them, and b) know that i despise father's day so they just ignore it and i feel like that's pretty great for all of us

how is it that the opening notes of this song make me instantly feel like sobbing (with joy? hope? beauty? all of the above?) youtu.be/TxB8Qqe5DGM?...

if your dad sucks let me—an actual dad—use father's day to tell you what I think every child deserves to hear from their parents: I'm proud of you, and so glad you're figuring out how to survive this messy world. The world is better with you in it. This is extra true if you're trans.

i dunno if any of y'all have done EMDR but i have a bit this year and holy fucking shit it feels like magic

just realized a shirt with a guillotine and the words "thank you for your attention to this matter" would be really humorous

you ever think about how Beyoncé is somehow not even the most interesting child in the family? i think about this all the time

sometimes, very rarely, i miss whiskey

Yes, your work friend. Yes, your sister and brother in Christ. Yes, your comrade. Pretty much all of them. A few exceptions but not enough to spend a lot of time making an exception for. Anyway. Happy Juneteenth.

who doesn't know what i'm talkin about who's never left home, who's never struck out

the car show at the state fair means st. paul is growling with beautiful old cars and damn we really used to make some beautiful machines huh

somehow have stumbled upon the open positions for all the advisory boards involved in setting state policy and holy shit there is uh, so much? i knew nothing of this commissionsandappointments.sos.mn.gov

"Asked what he would say to parents of trans kids watching the film and fearing for their family's future, Chukumba said it’s simple. 'Love your kid, love your kid, love your kid. That's it,' he said." Trans kids are kids, and all kids deserve love & support. www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

it occurs to me that it's deeply ironic that the tech industry is filled with people who believe themselves to be the smartest boys in the world, but who also refuse to engage with the idea that we can understand the impacts of new technology well in advance by you know, thinking about its risks?

@matt-levine.bsky.social Apologies if I am way off base, but reading this article about the US as Empire and it has some fascinating money theory analysis (heading: The Dollar and Empire) that seems like you'd enjoy thinking about. phenomenalworld.org/interviews/e...

This is beautiful labornotes.org/blogs/2026/0...

taking a lot of effort to not comment on all the dumb shit today tbh

Hey fellow proponents of giving St. Paul a public sex forest instead of a golf course, there's an upcoming hearing for you to air your grievances/desires content.govdelivery.com/attachments/...

A piece from Emmett Doyle about the freedom songs he sang in jail with the other folks who were arrested here. labornotes.org/blogs/2026/0...

gotta say the reality tv asswipe treating one of the G5 governments as a reality tv show is not entertaining and sure is killing millions of people needlessly. the checks and balances are turning out to be uh, not so robust huh.

during my 8 week parenting vacay i am gonna uh, work a full time job, learn how to upgrade/repair bikes, knit a bunch, try to finish some essays, maybe start writing a book, and uh, supposedly also catch up on my reading list oh also we just moved so we have to unpack and settle in smol ambitions

building the full library of tools one k-bid auction at a time (don't worry I'm a Tool Library member too)

this is punchably racist imo

“The best potatoes of your life are still ahead of you”

or 5, I guess? Anyways they make Mnemosyne's in A3 now and holy shit it's glorious, GLORIOUS

it's a great day to stop at Wet Paint and treat myself to a new notebook tbh

god it's annoying how good Messi is

my kids head to their mom's house for 8 weeks this weekend i love them so much and i love parenting so much and i will miss the hell out of them but also i am so ready for a lil break. parenting is exhausting.

i exist in this fun space where i understand things are actually far worse than most people believe, BUT YET i also believe the possibilities for better futures remain wide fucking open and as long as joy and creativity and solidarity are possible (always), things can improve

it is worth reading this in full!

gonna start insisting that everyone use antifa's full name: Anti-fascist, just so that it's clear what being against them is supporting

the nice thing about the world we live in is everything is easy to understand and solve. all issues are black and white and have obvious solutions! this is why i am a genius and deserve lots of money and power.

thriving in H Mart

i like when new things come out and people are like "let's be clear: this is fascism" and it's like my dude what do you think has been happening since january of last year? this is a fascist admin, everything they do is fascist, that's how it works

still thinking about the Cape Verde game

Cape Verde beats Spain 0-0

THIS IS THE GREATEST GAME

Cape Verde holding Spain is so amazing!

my laptop stand has gone missing in the move, this is unhelpful

networksofny2026.bigcartel.com/product/netw... hi, did you like my book Networks of New York when it came out in 2016? you might like the updated 2026 edition which I'll be releasing in September and you can pre-order now

yeah sure Ingrid is a friend but also this book is so fucking cool and i recommend it to people all the time, it changed the way I navigate urban areas! get it!

This week one kid is at Adventures in Cardboard camp and the other is at Circus Juventas and both of them POPPED out of bed because they'd been looking forward to it for weeks. Twin Cities camp game is top notch.
