Already so tired of seeing people who don’t even fucking live here weighing in on Waymo. “I’d love to ride in a Waymo if I ever go to Minneapolis!” Really? That’s what you want to do on your trip here? Grow up.
Most of the reason I stopped posting about things happening with the US government was because being so fucking mad all the time was destroying my mental health.
Being on here and seeing all the good happening at the local level in the Twin Cities has been a breath of fresh air.

But also it is so adorable how much Ferd loves Tesla 😻😻😻
As is tradition, the cats have trapped me on the couch and are preventing me from going to sleep in my actual bed where they also sleep on top of me.

This makes St. Paul look like a fucking war zone. If you look closely, you can see that it’s the cops doing all the violence.
Photos from St. Paul today captured by MPR photojournalist Kerem Yücel. He filed them even after being hospitalized after being injured by a less lethal munition.

Made hot chocolate. Vastly underestimated how much whipped cream was left when I decided to try to use it up. We’re all winners here.

Soft boiled some eggs and opened up a pair of chopsticks I bought in Japan in 2018 but have still never used for tonight’s ramen

Finished prototype + cat for scale. Almost ready to move back to fun fabric. Might try an invisible zipper instead of hand sewing the last side.
Tips for anyone who wants to try this: the smaller the seam allowance, the better. Clip your corners. Iron seam allowance to one side instead of flat.

Still thinking about the Nerd Nite presenter who had absolutely no idea what an ancestor is.
For example, despite what they said, the people who come after you are patently not your ancestors. Neither is your dog.
This will live rent-free in my head forever.

One of my favorite genres of Reddit posts are the ones where people from a warm climate moved somewhere with four seasons and are absolutely clueless about how winter works. It’s adorable.

I barely slept last night and it’s showing in really interesting ways.

Just got accused of cheating at chess. My dude, if I were cheating my rating would not be under 400.
It’s not my fault you are actually so terrible that I am better than you.

Heating up my very new iron for the second time set off my smoke detector, so that was fun.

If each of my followers gave just 50 cents, we’d hit our goal. But that’s super inefficient so maybe some of you could give like $3 or $10 or $20 instead?

Dudes really will do this in literally any space with DMs. This is the chess.com app.

Cindy Martin knowingly misgendered multiple trans people (including Dex) in the fucking DFL FEMINIST CAUCUS meeting, but sure, go off about how publicizing the fact that KILLED A CHILD IN A HIT AND RUN is bullying. It’s a really good look for you, @dfl.org.
Discussing the facts of the court case she is currently on trial for is not bullying. Saying that this woman should not be in leadership and that it reflects poorly on the DFL is not bullying. Public pressure is the only goddamn thing the state leadership responds to so we have to use it.

The DFL is very, very broken but leadership is too busy shoving their heads up Frey’s ass to realize it.
I used to work for Richard Carlbom. Ask me any questions you want.

Okay Bikesky, please help us get the last $500 because I’m starting to worry about Erik

Look, I don’t want to keep sending out GTMD emails. But I’ll do it (probably) until we hit $20k.
So if you can, please make a donation of any amount. And if keeping reminders out of your inbox isn’t enough motivation, do it for Freeda.
