This is my first Lead Dev and the vibes are immaculate. Such a thoughtfully and well-put on event

Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework

please help the people’s closet keep going!!

Went to the speaker dinner and infodumped about trains. Can’t take me anywhere

This is Bodie. His presence indicates the beginning of Pride Month. May his whimsy and steadfastness bring joy and confidence to all. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)

Happy Pride! Please read and share this gift link to a column I wrote last year about Thom Higgins, a Minnesotan who coined the term gay pride. He was a real pioneer who should never be forgotten.

happy pride 💕

sorry to anyone attempting to DM me right now

A legend, an icon and a trailblazer.

eat my shit and hair

What a coincidence! I just interviewed this Fisher Price Farmer Says See 'n' Say, and it told me some incredibly interesting things about farm life. Let me know when you'd like to publish this!

Even the pigs said fuck the pigs.

Happy Pride, you beautiful motherfuckers 🌈💖✨

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

I’m deeply appreciative of our neighbors, patrollers, observers, watchers, and everyone who helps with mutual aid. I also think it’s important to acknowledge our immigrant neighbors who have resisted, shown courage, and persevered in the face of a devastating occupation. 2/

BABY GEESE! Skidded to a stop on my bike just to admire them.

Treated myself to the last middle gallery center seat available of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London and I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited about anything in my entire life

Now is the time to make your thing. Stop motion with LEGO, webcomic, walking sim game, weird Halloween costume, backyard water feature, container garden. This is your sign. Make your thing. Stop waiting. Do it.

The sights and sounds of daybreak along the Mississippi River this morning at Kaposia Landing in South St. Paul

the cow says “moo” the sheep says “baa” the pig says “freeze”

Reminded via FB memories that 6 years ago today was when we started the overnight watches in North after we had arson fires started and no response from MPD. So much of that work helped us be able to spring up the response to ICE and DHS occupation.

@jchavezmpls.bsky.social Ran into Yvonne at the MN Immigrant Movement thank you dinner tonight and she said I should tell you this: I'm doing a conference talk in London this week in which I speak about you as an example of what leadership that takes care of your people looks like. Here is the slide

Sunrise on this day in 2020. Lake Street & Park Avenue, I-35W and Nicollet Avenue. Minneapolis May 30, 2020

Mac and so, so, so, so MUCH cheese recipe

Just test rode @bagofmoons.bsky.social’s Velotric Breeze and that sound you heard all over South Minneapolis was me cackling with sheer joy zooming down the street if you’ve never tried riding an e-bike before (I hadn’t) DO IT, they are so much fun

Minnesota GOP convention just voted to stand for and hold a moment of silence for… killer cop Derek Chauvin. Can’t make this up.

I regularly have people ask me about Mythos these days, so here are my thoughts: Finding bugs is never the hard part. Fixing them is. How’s your organizational alignment? Are your engineers burned out? How is your production resilience? Before you worry about the new shiny, focus on your basics

Brilliant sunrise sky this morning over the Mississippi River in St. Paul, as seen from the High Bridge

Here’s where my heart is. Nothing but solidarity to these protesters. Sometimes the only thing that kept me going this winter was seeing messages from other states; I hope one little New Jersian sees this and knows Minneapolis is watching and that our hearts are with you.

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

Ghosts have dreams like everyone else. A common anxiety dream for ghosts is being summoned to a seance they haven't prepared for. Then discovering they're the ghost of a naked person. Then they wake up and experience a wave of relief when they remember they're dead.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but St. Paul Saints season tickets are currently $149 for a family of four

This year, the prestigious John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award will go collectively to the people of the Twin Cities “for risking their lives to protect their neighbors and immigrant community members” as federal immigration agents flooded the region earlier this year.

Just a heads up twin cities, COVID is the lowest it has ever been in our wastewater shed! Go have fun

interesting how elected officials who say they want to “lower the temperature” only hold the unarmed side of a protest to that standard.

if your vibes are bad enough I *will* remove you from the feed. it’s not about politics, it’s about behavior. go sit in the corner and think about how you talk to people

I am enthusiastic about using tokens in my work but my employer doesn't really have as many skeeball lanes as one might wish.

Wake up babe, the CEOs are finding out about Goodhart’s Law again

Raising rent relief funds for a South Minneapolis family in need. Total need is $1200. Every bit helps! V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater We keep us safe and housed 💛 Please share and help if you can! Thank you!

#OnThisDay May 29, 1935: The Milwaukee Road introduces "Twin Cities Hiawatha", widely considered the world's first true high-speed rail service, completing the journey from St Paul to Chicago in 6 hours at speeds routinely over 100mph. Its Tagline: "Nothing Faster on Rails"

surely there are less alarming images to use for this

South Minneapolis friends: ICE activity is high today. Please keep your eyes out.

Love and solidarity with Newark ❤️‍🔥 I'm not posting or boosting a lot of stuff about it because a lot of folks in Minneapolis are still really traumatized and kidnappings are still happening, but we see you and we are proud of you for fighting.

Women know a confidently wrong blowhard when they see one and are much less likely to fall for smarmy, insincere flattery

It'd be great if info like this were shared widely among metro folks. We can take some steps to at least reduce the production of ground ozone! (via MPCA)

NEW: A group of activists have built an awesome new tool to help immigration attorneys and the general public know when an ICE flight is headed to their area. gillianbrockell.com/habeas-fligh...
