That’s enough for today. I’m going to touch grass and look at a mushroom. Be good to each other.

Apparently I have to go buy new stomping boots. My trans child has the same rights as anyone else. Even if we have to enforce that on an individual basis.

Me own ma took me to the pub! Or something like that from Nico.

This is when David and I parted ways. The frozen custard is superior and the burgers are not even close. Who did I marry?

This is the way. I recommend asking people for any identity language you may want to use. I did it a lot this week at the Special Olympics. Go teams!

This is bad. Please read the actual news article. They tried to intimidate this woman over a fully legal Instagram post. I applaud her instinct to make them speak in front of other people. If you are approached by ICE, make them speak in front of others so there are witnesses.

I went to the woods and found some mushrooms. Came home and turned them into soup with leftover chicken and garlic scapes. My soup is so good.

Look folks. I woke up to no Kcups for the Keurig and the regular coffee maker won’t brew. It keeps turning itself off again. I resorted to boiling coffee on my stove, and Blech. Then I went to sit with my kid having brekkie and I sat on a shard of glass! I’m sorry to whomever cursed me. Truly.

We lived in River Forest and Forest Park during this time. I am not shocked. I remember the incident after the parade. It gave me a bad impression of the safety of attending the parade. We had a small child and the Forest Park parade and celebration were very drunk adult oriented.

Someone take away T’s world map. He keeps randomly pointing at countries and whining until someone else does something to shut him up. He should not be presented with anything that isn’t crayons and a coloring book.

Jane Yolen was one of the most prolific and gifted storytellers. I am grateful to have gotten a chance to spend time with her and listen to her tell stories. Her memory will be a blessing to many.

I love me some nuclear block action. The ability to see someone’s account info and Nope out of their universe is excellent.

I am filled with thoughts. When I was younger my mom lived at the end of the block from the Half Time. We would go to use their phone when the power went out.

I just set an appointment with someone I super admire next Wednesday. I am so excited. Go disability advocates!

@accesspress.org published an article on Partners in Policymaking. If you look closely at the group photo of this years grads, it’s me. :) accesspress.org/driving-chan...

I support the people of New Jersey and those in need at Delaney Hall. Perhaps you can help them out?

As a person who has multiple health issues and a son who lacks body temperature regulation, THIS. We deserve to be in our homes and have the temperature livable. No one who is susceptible to heat issues needs shaming. We have the right to live.

Mick is back for more voting! He made the top 10 so far. Help him win! Also, in my mind, I can totally feel how soft his ears are. Go vote please!

We did not find spring peas. But we do grow chive flowers.

I am deeply disappointed to find my age bracket to be the most conservative on this issue. The people polled are even more conservative in thinking than the oldest age bracket. WTH. Trans rights are human rights. Says this cis lady. Go forth and change things youth!

Go vote for Mick! I do and there are only 320 votes for him so far. There should be more. Go help and feel good. :)

If there is a convo happening around transportation options, and you feel like you can walk faster/ride a bike/or want to shame a car user. Just don’t. The ableism and shaming makes me so angry. Not all of us can ride a bike or walk. You share the planet with a bunch of disabled folks.

Phone banking for my local candidate. It is interesting. Many people seem to be at work after 6pm. Or they just hang up on me. Lalala. I like that they have a program that does auto dialing with a fake number now. At least people can’t call me back later. 🤣

I hate this for the children. No good comes of this and much harm seems likely. I stand with the trans community and their right to be. This is bs. In case you wonder about the actual bill like I do, a link. www.govtrack.us/congress/bil...

The skill I have learned is how to identify poorly done AI. If this is what you come up with for a promo maybe don’t.

This summary of different early medieval literature is still one of my favourite things on the internet. #medievalsky

It passed! Yayyayyyay!

SF 3210 being discussed finally. @repkimhicks.bsky.social doing the real work of fielding these ?’s which would annoy me. @leighfinke.bsky.social standing up for disability rights. So glad to be here to witness this moment. Fingers crossed.

Immediately tabled by voice vote.

Hey look at that! It’s the author of the original file. Hello @repkimhicks.bsky.social !

Here in the gallery for the vote on SF3210. We need to enshrine these disability accommodation protections for MN. #disabilityrights #Minnesota

Hey MN. I am looking for a rental place for my excellent, handy, sober sister and her two dogs. Her credit was ruined by her ex and she is being displaced from the place she has been in for a couple years. She is very handy and nice and well employed. Just crap credit. Any ideas or leads?

All of my pasta vegetables were found or grown. Fiddlehead ferns, ramps, small oyster mushrooms, and asparagus. I am so pleased.

Also, sleight being pronounced like slight but not like slate, is a mess people.

All I am saying is that when one does not understand the reference for “tacks” it could easily be “tax”. It makes no difference to me the person who understood the intent of the phrase, but not the origins. I think this may be the first time I have seen the words in print.

Finally! SF 3210 passes. WOOOT! Thank you @erinmayequade.bsky.social.

Wait! Now Sen Gruenhagen is standing up to be anti trans. Because he is sure it includes gender identity,but that is from the existing law! That is not an add nor related to the disability issues. What transphobic nonsense. I can't believe he gets to keep speaking about something not under debate.

I was in and out during your initial… that is a lack of you caring. So disrespectful.

His objection is that people will scam the system like lawyers did over ADA issues some number of years ago. Why does no one just think about the much larger population who are discriminated against? Grr.

Here we go! @erinmayequade.bsky.social is speaking. Now for the bonehead comments and questions section of the motion.

I am just waiting for SF 3210 Minnesotans with Disabilities Act to come up. I stood up for the press release and have been waiting for this moment. We are taking the legal protections against disability discrimination to our state level. Because no one trusts the feds to not rescind it.

I am listening to the MN Senate debate a bill for safety funding with things like not selling cop cars that still look like cop cars, such as the one used by the person who shot our reps last summer. As well as adding protection elsewhere, it is related to the awful shootings last summer.

Today, I urge everyone to find and financially support an independent news outlet — one that will not be attending a spectacle dinner tonight to schmooze with the Trump administration while they berate the press.

It is one of the best of nights. Also, important to share with your sweetie. Because there is enough garlic to hurt a vampire (complementary).

As a chronically ill person, fuck that guy. I have every right to live. I am beginning to doubt what value he has however.

And buying myself a 5 cent bottle of Prosecco! Yay!

🎶Happy Birthday to me. I’m learning policy!🎶 Heehee.

Well I am sitting here in a MN Senate hearing and the speaker is being very aggressive. It’s surprising. Not the attitude I expected from the speaker.

Look folks. I know no one asks for my book opinions. But the Brothers Sinister series is a f@ckin delight if you like smart women and men who appreciate them. Loved them all.
