Everything OK here except me.

Back to the Future is the perfect movie i will not be taking questions

You know it's close to a local election day when Nextdoor notifications send me into an existential hate-spiral

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

I think we should be shouting this from the rooftops.

No notes on this perfect post office / town name.

This Stiller & Meara doc by @benstiller.redhour.com is so so good.

The best scene in the new Springsteen movie is when he finally defeats the chicken man. Amazing pyrotechnics.

I know this is a meme and everything but it’s also, just, a really good scream. I wish I could have such a cathartic scream.

This is bananas. On so many levels.

I had to be at a work event at 6am today and I forgot to take my meds. Now I'm a grumpy tired ball of feelings.

Local legislator displays the importance of kerning

Just witnessed someone trying to fireb*mb Fletcher’s Ice Cream in NE. Saw a dude acting weird next to a parked car in front of the place. I walked by, heard a smash through my earbuds, smelled gasoline/kerosine. Turned around, snapped some photos instinctively. Thankfully they suck at molot*vs.

S.A.D. hit hard and fast today, joining forces with a Case of the Mondays.

Extremely rude of Glamdoll Donuts to be closed Mondays when I just tried to get my post-mammogram treat

It is worth noting that when the state has enacted violence on you, that then means you contend with the aftermath forever. One does not simply regrow a cornea or undamage the soft tissue of a brain. The trauma, like all experiences do, fades. But it returns over and over wrapped in blazing pain.

11yo just called out for me. Took my airpods out and said, "Yes, hon?" "How do you spell murderous?" ...

Pssst… isn’t ABA similar to conversion therapy? 🫣

POOUUR YOUR MISERY DOWN

Even though the world is crumbling and everything is horrible I am taking a class from @johnmoe.bsky.social tomorrow about podcast writing and we’re just gonna all try to jump start my creative practice again, okay?

A friend just invited me to see Garbage with her this weekend which means in the last 5 weeks I will have seen indigo girls/ Melissa Etheridge, Rilo Kiley and Garbage (followed shortly by Neko). The 90s are alive and thank god.

legit hilarious

As a parent of a kid with an invisible disability I cannot under-emphasize the toll that this parent blame takes on a person and a whole family system.

Today I drove 4 hours round trip just to have coffee with someone I love and listen to a 5 hour long playlist that the band Lucius posted and honestly sitting by myself in the car without access to news and information and just vibing to music was worth the trip alone

“They’re just trying to get attention” You say that like it’s a bad thing. Like being a kid and wanting someone to attend to your needs is a character flaw. I’m 43 and just want some attention tbh

Sen. Tina Smith on RFK: "I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired." GET HIM TINA

Death cult

2:15am panic attacks about spreadsheets should not exist. Yet here we are.

Oh my god. If you are a parent of a teen or tween and you aren’t terrified, I don’t know man.

Fair-ing it tomorrow for the first time in like 10 years. Thinking about parking a couple miles away and biking the rest. Anything I need to know about bike parking at the fair?

Favorite dog toy

Is anyone else really having trouble shaking the feeling that nothing matters?

phew, if anything will tell you the story of a people it is their art. looking through a database of palestinian open access art for reasons & you can sure see how the experience of nakba, occupation, oppression, atrocity changes over the decades as collective choices re: imagery evolves.

Uhhh WUT

Capsule pharmacy can't fill Vyvanse or the generic 😫😫 Where are you getting your Vyvanse filled these days?

Proud of our Secretary of State. Thanks, Steve!

Okay, this is fun and it's like old skool mpls twitter/ bsky seeped into the mainstream. I disagree with the venerable @dbrauer.net only in that I don't think Uptown extends all the way to the lake boulevards. Those tony addresses don't like being lumped in with Uptown.

Today's episode of The Daily is just Michael Barbaro and AO Scott talking about The Great Gatsby and honestly, that's what I needed today.

Tonight feels like a night for dessert spaghetti

Social Security's full funding was actually reduced by a year by the Kill Bill.

Can I go back to bed now

Maria Salazar: I didn't think the leopard would eat the faces of MY constituents

Saw this incredible piece at the Walker yesterday. It really resonated with me because it is striking and beautiful, but then I learned it was created using the artist's therapeutic drawings when he was in a refugee camp after the Kosovo war. Go see it if you can. www.youtube.com/watch?v=agUT...

Yesterday my 10 year old daughter saw “No nukes” chalked on the sidewalk when we went to get ice cream. She looked at me and said, “isn’t that, like, extremely implied?” I’m so sorry babe.

Hegseth bragging about operational security is really something fuckin' else.

Two weeks ago masked cops from an array of agencies, wearing an array of uniforms, swarmed a restaurant at Lake & Bloomington and everyone who showed up to protect our neighborhood was asked to accept these mysterious authorities on faith No paywall:

If you have the ability to give, there is a GoFundMe for the Hortman children to cover funeral expenses and home repairs. (shared by a reliable source connected to the family)

thank fuck, they caught him
