They should invent a California where you can afford to live

6am flight tomorrow. I am packed, in bed and ready to wake up at 4am. meanwhile, boyfriend has partially packed but is now fully playing csgo, hasn't packed his carry on at all, AND he also was like 'oh yeah I am also going to give myself a haircut tonight' not judging, you do you but boy howdy!

Good morning. I woke up at 7AM and have had a cup and a half of coffee already. A lot of people outside Minneapolis probably are wondering what's going. What's happened to the "Midwest Mamdani"? And a lot of people who just learned about us this year are probably confused. It's okay!

dawg not the steakhouse wedding font

Haven't touched my small sketchbook in months and i am trying to get back into casual non-client drawing. Nice to get 30 mins in this morning and to not think that hard about it.

This is a really fascinating article. I genuinely do not know how society should deal with these angry men who feel so deeply entitled to the bodies and submission of women and feel not the slightest interest or curiosity about women they go on dates with.

sunrise alert!! we got a good one out there twin cities!

I have a very bad feeling about this...

talking about candy salad with my boyfriend (he had never heard of it) and while showing him pictures of it I remarked that I would kill for a gummy candy ...to which i learned that he has gummies at his work and no one eats them!!! as travesty.

Transmission is always such a good vibe! Thanks thanks to Jake Rudh for keeping this party going for like over a decade in MPLS

Some new birb paintings. #ArtOnBluesky

I am so mad at myself for not being able to see pattygonia while they were in minneapolis

one for the saint paul crowd: reconnecting with a pal and they suggested we meet at Due Foccacceria. I responded with a hardy 'Yes, lets DUE it!!!!!'

Searched 'How old was Fairuza Balk when she was in the Craft' and AI gave me Adore Delano for the image.......

LOCAL EVENT! I’m chatting with @heymolls.bsky.social about my new book. I’m so excited to celebrate the book in my hometown!!!

don’t forget to cross your arms over your chest before you lower yourself back down into the bog for the night

“I think it’s a really unfortunate narrative to tie the success of any downtown to the employees of any one business ... Our job is not ever going to be revitalizing any sort of downtown. Right? To put that on the backs of state employees, is a really dangerous narrative.”

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

xcited to be part of this year's Bienvenidos Dystopia! Happening this Saturday 10/18 at 7PM at Moth Odditives. Ticket link is in my bio! ✨️

god gave me free will and i used it to scroll for six consecutive hours

Everybody who has ever spent time in downtown Minneapolis has needed skyway.run. Dang

In the 1950s, National Geographic wanted Kodachrome nature photography that really popped in print. One trick was to put foreground subjects (hikers, etc.) in bright colors; it was called the "red shirt school". Dick Lasher's Pinto makes this the greatest red shirt school photo of all time.

I went skateboarding with pals tonight and had so much fun!!!

I have an urge to buy a bouncy ball. like, as a late 30s person, I could really tear it up with one of those.

Moisturizing daily with top quality skin lotion, not for me, but for the artisan who’ll one day make me into a table lamp.

I have had a bin of misc technology that I have been meaning to recycle for literally year and I finally did it today 🔥

Memorizing this

Great article on the upcoming Dreamstate Cafe on 26th and Lyndale (the old Common Roots/Hi Flora space). The article says "they're leasing the back of it to a yet-to-be-announced bookstore"—I'm hearing it will be Boneshaker's new location!

NEWS: Boneshaker Books is moving! And we need your help to pull it off! We are looking to raise $15,000 to get us there and set up. $6,000 of that needs to be raised by 10/17. Please share! Radical bookstores forever! @boneshakerbooks.bsky.social www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati...

bless and kudos to any venue for having earplugs in a very visible and accessible place 🙏

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

still me / big vibes on this. I need a weekend where I have absolutely no obligation or schedule to recover from the last few weeks 🫠

What a whirlwind! I recently worked with Jennifer Briggs of Perfect Match Properties and Gordon Simle of Simle Group on a quick mural project for this iconic MN property, fondly dubbed The Purple House 🏠💜 You can request a tour of this space via this link: perfectmatch.properties/the-purple-house

my mom took tylenol when she was pregnant, which made me super focused on menswear and now i have a million followers on twitter
