so my husband died this week. we were separated for the past year and a half and going thru divorce paperwork. we were together for 20 years. he was a good man, and had some mighty struggles. people are sharing their stories of him.

man, share the memories you have about your people now. don't wait; just, like make that a regular thing. tell them why they matter to you all the fucking time. and tell them beautifully, poetically, the way you would reminisce about them. because that beauty is important.

Cats & boxes, man.

So the cuts to SNAP are just part of Dr. Oz's weight loss plan, eh?

Ward 7, you have amazing representation in Councilmember Cashman; and so do the rest of us...till the end of this year. Thank you, Katie.

According to VoteMpls, @jason4parks.bsky.social won their seat on the Park Board and this legit gives me a lot of joy! Jason's care for our city, and parks is gonna be necessary and good to have! Congratulations :)

You learn about Sankey charts one time and now they're all you see, lol.

i just really like that rn my feed is all AWOOOOOOOOOOO

Shout out to every single person who doorknocked & phonebanked for everyone except Jacob Frey & All of Minneapolis. Every single one of you, thank you.

Yo, Melvin, Minneapolis is a lovely city....

I dig @dbrauer and his take on Minneapolis (even when I'm one of those more snarky people, lol).

FYI Mpls.

Tom Brady cloned his dog; and he's a major investor in the company that did it, and somehow this news makes me incredibly sad this morning. Both that it happened and that it's news.

!!

Yay!

And this is also great news!

this just makes me really happy!

Wooo!

This whole thing, but especially: "As an adult, that being a constant in my community will put me in some kids core memory." Yeah.

Katie Jones nod of approval!

I just gotta say, seeing @omarfatehmn.com, @dewayneforminneapolis.com and @jazzformayor.bsky.social engage with the community--it's _all_ campaigning, i get it. but they're out here talking to all kinds of community members and it feels good. one of these guys can be our mayor. #dontrankfrey

Chad for Ward 3! He screams for justice on the regular.

REMEMBER: if you have a felony conviction and are out of prison and on paper--you can vote in Minnesota! (godDAMN that feels good to type.).

First lie spotted: calling Aisha Chughtai a Gen Xer.

"Minneapolis is exploring whether expanded conservatorship laws, like those recently adopted in California, could provide greater support for people struggling with mental health or substance use challenges who are no longer able to care for themselves."

just a happy thread right here!

Read this. And then rank @dewayneforminneapolis.com, @omarfatehmn.com and @jazzformayor.bsky.social. That's my order; yours may be different. But Jacob Frey should not be on your list.

I wanted to take a moment to thank our climate and transit endorsing partners. We must meet the current moment for bold climate action, especially with the Trump administration's total failure to lead on this critical issue. We can take steps to make our communities more climate resilient and...

Legit, my heroes. This is pretty great!

Ok #mplswin Mayor: Frey Council: Payne, Wonsley, Rainville (barf), Vetaw, Burnett, Osman, Cashman, Stevenson, Chavez, Chughtai, Whiting, Chowdhury, Palmisano. Parks: Engelhart, Rucker, Deshpande, Garcia, Carvajal Moran, Jourdain. At large: Wilson, Frederick, Olsen BET: EHB, Brandt Turnout: 129,000

I suck at these so I'm not even gonna try, but I am gonna follow along to see _your_ takes.

Yo, check in with your Minneapolis friends about the election: vote plan, polling place, etc. and some candidate persuasion, if needed. Especially BET & Park Board!

Jason is popular everywhere! But only people in District 4 can vote for them to be their Park Board rep!

EMERGENCY REQUEST 🚨🗳️: A side effect of having the best door knocking team in the city is that they go through materials like nobody’s business! We’re almost out of flyers, and we need to raise $2k so we can place an order first thing tomorrow morning. Please chip in and spread the word!

just noticed that my shower curtain has a FACE on it. what the hell?

You _know_ this is the hottest ride of the year.

Esme on @wcconews.bsky.social is covering Paid Family Medical Leave going into effect soon; and no one from DEED was available so she's interviewing...the Chamber of Commerce.

holiday card season is upon us! if you still mail out cards, and wanna exchange, let's dm.

i've reached the age where songs i listened to in high school & college are now the ad jingles for cholesterol meds and deodorant. and i hate it.

Saw a recommendation on FB to watch this, and ok, let's give it a shot: www.pbs.org/video/parado...

no actual answer on how they will improve air quality, just that they will. hey, sounds exactly how jacob frey said he would end homelessness in 5 years. and we can see how that went.

Walking to dinner and a trick or treater asked us if we wanted candy from his basket, and it kinda felt like a hidden camera prank. But. He had a full size Snickers in there; so. Thanks, kid, for desert.

Members of Mariah Samuels’ family as well as activists and community leaders say the Minneapolis Police Department didn’t do enough to protect Samuels from her ex-boyfriend, who is charged with killing her.

glad I expanded my collection this summer.

I love FB Marketplace: "I have a Honda; do you think the bookshelf will fit in it?" Sir. SIR.

Happy Halloween!

"Instead of solving challenging problems, our governments have turned to fences that cut off necessary urban connections, and it amounts to an abdication of public obligation to people on foot." Abdication of public obligation, damn right.

really good thread, right here.

Sean Grayson found guilty of murdering Sonya Massey. (2nd degree which was not nearly enough).

I'm just a girl, looking for a real organizing crm. That's all. (If you see me in the next 2 months, and ask me how I am, just know that you're gonna get at least 5 minutes of how private equity in progressive data infrastructure sucks.)
