Here we go!

Still thinking about petting the 10 week old yellow lab named Oliver at a brewery this weekend. He was wearing a sweater and was so dapper.

They're very good dogs.

I never knew about sundogs until I moved to Minnesota. I don't remember seeing them in Wisconsin. Used to see them all the time when I worked in a tiny southern MN town.

95% of MN Somalis are US citizens. 58% were born in the US. The only reason to target this community with immigration agents is for the sake of racial profiling and harassment - which the US supreme court says is legal now. www.npr.org/2025/09/13/n...

It's a full moon, folks. Buckle up.

Incredibly sad. And worth noting that before the misappropriation of the SOS moniker by a bunch of NIMBYs, @dogsbestfriend.bsky.social and others had adopted it as « Safety On Summit » following another violent death on Summit Ave, that of Alan Grahn. Time to reclaim it?

I saw a floof today enjoying a snowy walk and honestly, it's keeping me going today. Remember, there's still good out there.

remember folks thanksgiving is the one day that your dog is allowed to plug in all twenty of your toasters on the same circuit as a treat

The City of Saint Paul has the opportunity to do the funniest thing right now.

Indeed workers have been fighting for a contract for over a year. Support them and send a message to Indeed management telling them to settle a fair contract! actionnetwork.org/letters/inde...

Last night Indeed workers held a powerful picket line outside the NE Mpls taproom to keep the pressure on management to settle a fair contract. Appreciate everyone who made it out & everyone who has signed the online letter. If you haven't signed please do & please pass the link to others!

When are we all going outside tonight?

Hello lovely.

Pretty rude that the governor didn't declare today a state holiday and close everything in remembrance.

TODAY: MELVIN YES YES

Okay, Minneapolis, today you have a chance to get rid of the one major thing St Paul folks roast you for.

TOMORROW: MELVIN YES YES

St. Paul! We've finally got an annoying Attack PAC in our election called Saint Paul Future Forward working for Rep Kaohly Her's mayoral bid. Names attached are Haley Cobb and Chris Haas who I vaguely remember from my time in Walz-land and state stuff. assets.ramseycountymn.gov/files/2025-1...

I love when the bus is already running late and the Metro Transit "agents" delay the bus even more. Kind of antithetical to the mission of getting people from one place to another rapidly.

Discovered recently that the French bulldog from a few blocks down is named Apple and it's my Roman Empire.

Decorated the house for fall yesterday and my husband liked it. I didn't tell him that part 2 is playing Wicked on repeat until Halloween.

So, now that they've made Wicked, does this mean they're going to try for the Wizard of Oz too? Or is that still untouchable?

Saw at least a dozen Minnesotans zipper merge properly today and boy, there's hope for this world yet.

Instead of daylight savings I say we shorten the work day.

Breaking news! My neighbor has a new puppy and I got to pet her this morning! Nearly died from joy. Happy Friday!

Hey @mplsnightmayor.bsky.social, do you like this kind of soup?

In Swedish, a word for what you eat to bridge the gap between meals (or while waiting for the main course to cook) is stödmacka. It means "support sandwich." A similar word in Norwegian is ventepølse, or "waiting sausage."

Good people of Saint Paul! Are you aware that of 25 large cities in MN ours is the *only one* that doesn’t yet have the ability to levy administrative citations for ordinance violations?! ITS TRUE! And dumb. YOU can help fix that by voting YES on this referendum. www.voteyesforafairerstpaul.com

My colleagues have not made it to the office yet ... Have they been raptured? Stay tuned.

Please setup your out of office if you’re gonna be raptured.

If you’re in line to Rapture stay in line. Pearly Gates are open til the end of the day

Some of my favorite evenings are the unplanned visits from @tombasgen.bsky.social.

@farmaid.org this is why several sections were chanting "lights" during Dave Matthews' set. 😂

I found this birding book along the side of the road on the Tamiami trail in the Everglades on 8/25/25. It is so well loved with sightings going back decades. If you're a birder (I am not) please spread the word and hep me find the owner so they can be reunited

@kwiktrip.bsky.social I think we need a passport book that we can get stamped at each new Kwik Trip we visit.

My first time communing with the Aurora.

Hoo boy, did not think I'd find so much joy in remembering that I'm on vacation and don't have to go into work tomorrow. Lucky to have coworkers covering for me.

Just sitting in my cabin, watching a Bruce Springsteen concert DVD with the love of my life, with a whole week of vacation yet to come--a much needed reset.

Come on, man.

it’s my echo chamber and i’ll play faith of the heart as much as i want

Reddit is a beautiful place. From a former YJ employee: "At a Holiday party...[Ann Kim went up] to give a speech...They walked up to the microphone, looked every one of their employees in the eyes and gave this speech, word for word: "I want to thank all of you...for making me a millionaire."

Admiring the fine art of Wisconsin.

That's right, Saint Paul has a BIG LEAD in ticket sales so far. You too can share in our IMMINENT VICTORY by RSVPing to our joint fundraiser with @moreneighbors.org below. Time to prove Saint Paul is the true first city of Minnesota!🏙️💪 actionnetwork.org/ticketed_eve...

Saw a 4 month old Bassett hound at Iron Ranger and almost died from cute overload.

Pet a giant Great Pyrenees today and his owner thanked me for petting him because he loved pets!

Went to the Saints game today and saw all of the dogs. Happy to report, to no one's surprise, they were all very good.

Check out this interview with my friend, who is a super talented glass blowing artist ! voyageminnesota.com/interview/li...

I tweeted this idea at @metrotransitmn.bsky.social back in 2020 when we were all missing riding the light rails and busses...maybe worth revisiting!
