Not afraid to take the path of maximum resistance. Too loud. Habitually overdressed.

All these new followers! Expect retro and historical recreation sewing & knitting, pictures of strange things I find around town, hot takes on biking & transit, cat pics, & the musings of a GenX post-punk rabble rouser settling into middle age & healthier life choices.

People with EVs: what home 240v charger do you recommend?

I have a Nissan Leaf. I would like to be able to turn charging on & off on a timer or remotely. I have an uninsulated, unheated garage. I don't want to pay $500.

I'm a bike lane and I am coming for your parking!

Ugh! A prime truck is blocking the bike lane!

Both are scary!

Bill and I discussed getting married there, but decided we didn't want a destination wedding.

Wondering the same. We usually already have the littles arriving.

I am looking for a Halloween activity after trick and treaters are done. I have a very scary costume.

In 2018 Tim Holden was running for mayor of StP. He came to our block party with an uncut 🍉 & a bunch of his tenants who were his campaign volunteers. He gave me the 🍉 & told me to cut it in the hopes that while I was engaged he could hand out literature (which I had told him he couldn't.)

Marvin: a Story in Three Acts

This cat does not give a single fuck about what you want or think.

This cat is about to bitch slap your ass.

This cat says go fuck yourself. I can be on this table.

Reformation Sunday makes me happy because of the promise that we as individuals, the church, and the world can re-form and learn and grow and be better.

No. I thought about it, but people were crying and being put into ambulances. It felt invasive.

Biking up Summit today there was a messy car crash - burning car in someone's yard, two smashed cars in the street. Fire trucks & ambulances. The speed necessary would be nearly impossible if Summit were already redesigned. #carsrcoffins

There were a few all ages "bars" in the '90s that catered to the recovery crowd. There was a fun one up on White Bear Ave and a very short lived one near the Hair Police in a basement. Hopkins had one, too.

I was there and saw several

I needed a giant Tom face in my feed.

Seven lit carved pumpkins on a brick wall with orange lights. One, with a green arrow pointing at it, is carved "Tom Rules."

Which demographic is that? I don't understand.

8 pumpkins in the rain really tested my brakes getting back down the hill.

A maroon Trek bike with a very old beaten up Burley trailer filled with pumpkins. The bike is at a rack that is crowded by giant boxes of pumpkins in a parking lot.

My dad really tries to convince Q to be an elevator guy. Not only does it pay $$$$, but my dad says the elevator guy gets free coffee, plumbing & electric work, sports tix, etc because everyone on the job wants to use the elevator but only the elevator guy can.

14 years ago I was deciding whether to go to my midwife appointment or take a nap. Good thing I went to the appointment because Elliot was born less than 3 hours later!

Happy 14 years to my ever challenging, surprising, and tenacious youngest child.

Sweden is great for many reasons but 1) there are silent cars on trains & busses that means exactly that and 2) even in regular trains anything above a whisper is considered very rude. No one would EVER play a video or music on their phone.

tinybaby @tiny.baby · 15d

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
