This. So many of the workers we have under the elected officials are this, so why arent the electeds too instead of "politicians"?

Heartache Kits @hsticka.bsky.social · 2d

I want people running for office to start calling themselves "civil servants" instead of politicians. I want them to stop playing at politics and start practicing governance.

Her: "Do you use it enough, Jam?"

His choice of where to physically show up says a lot about where his interests lie for me, and why I will never trust him standing up to Trump, for ALL our communities, but for his own self-interests and spotlight.

Jam @jamfish728.blacksky.app · 5d

You know where he did show up though? When the Ascension mass shooting happened, which is in a predominantly white neighborhood (not the BIPOC part of Lake St where the raid happened).

Note, I am glad he showed up there (as any Mayor should!), and, he should've been present at both events.

Council members and Mayoral Candidates did that instead.

Jam @jamfish728.blacksky.app · 5d

When the federal government came to Lake St, Frey nor his admin not only didnt talk with constituents until after, but also deliberately didnt give council members this information when they knew it.

He also didnt ease the tension by being present like duly electected officials should be.

So for the Mayoral race I want to deflect one thing that Jacob touts....and that defending the city against Trump.

Alt: a man wearing headphones and a headband is sitting in a chair and making a face that's like "BRO". Because this man is making Nat 20s on damage and I'm so upset.

Reminder to my non-tech-engineer folks: There's a big region of Amazon's cloud service thats down, so if your websites or sites you go to aren't working, that's why.

I just realized that the below game was first time since I started playing TTRPGs in 2009, that I was at a table with majority BIPOC folks and I wasn't the only Black non-dude.

....I think I might cry now.

Me at the D&D table: *In character as a Southern Cleric Drow thats a damn curmudgeon. Cool calm and somewhat collected and trying to keep the table from chaos*

I have never been so Hype for a damn nerd con like #ConfluenceMN since college! I got my 5.0 players handbook, my mini box and bag with all my dice sets inside, and my backup fit in case these shirts don't show up before I head out the door in the morning.

And a Negative COVID test? LETS GOOO.
