I have opinions and know stuff. Minneapolis enby witch with a pain disorder and cats. Part of the local sky cult. In my previous life I was a forensic psychologist, re: child sexual abuse. Now I garden and spread love to counteract my inner angst.

The bus drivers looked so cool and confident and were being so careful. I saw them leave lots of room and let people merge like they hoped everyone got to their destination.

But y'all it is a mess out there. I really do hope their tea and cakes are extra tasty tonight.

We're not actually required to embrace a technology just because it's being pushed by a bunch of venture capitalists.

The Xennial enby-bi urge to wrap my limbs around yours as I sit in odd ways on the couch.
the mid-millenial gay urge to hold both your hands in the holes of my sweater
the Elder Millennial lesbian urge to tighten my belt around my hips where your hands were missing / come over, it's a need I can't explain / leave a legacy that we loved each other well

Everyone is struggling, even I'm helping. ME.

If seen zero plows or salt trucks today.

Im so heightened right now. I busted out the melodica because I just remembered a song my mom used to sing to me to calm me down and I NEEDED TO PLAY IT.

Kitty also is very calmed by it.

I had a conversation with a friend this week who was doing a little informal translation. One of the guys getting rides to work was giving off an odd vibe, and the drivers were noticing. So they asked my friend to talk to him, see if he could use the more formal 'usted,' that kind of thing.

Good job Whittier. I heard the whistles, and they just peeled out down Franklin onto 94. 🤘

My mom almost died several times. They're pretty sure she had polio, too, but the vaccination wasn't out yet. So yeah, they did.
before antibiotics did people just die all the time from everything?

I'm going to go be very angry and try not to yell.

Who is going with me?

Apparently the Rx hairball remedy for my cat comes in chicken or maple flavor. Is the maple just in case I need it for my hairballs?

Sorry not sorry.

Hell yeah!
I've always thought John O'Sullivan's self aggrandizing content was silly but didn't realize until today that he also refers to himself as "Mr Minneapolis," a title he claims to have held for 5 years. Silly has become completely ridiculous. I suggest we all start calling ourselves Mr Minneapolis.

South Sioux City, Nebraska aaaaayyyy!

This is why I know how to speak so much Spanish. My whole home town spoke it as I grew up! My friends spoke it. I might have bailed on that state once I became legal to vote, but I still have a lot of it in my head and use it now.
What the fuck is he talking about?

I mean, I love bluegrass and southern food. But as a Tennessean, I’m comfortable saying that no one comes to America lured by the promise of Appalachian culture.

I try to catch him in a casual moment grooming, but no. Must GQ. Wouldn't break the pose till I put the phone down.

Evening sunset was lovely. Still waiting on dinner, but it's made.

I've taken the next few days off to recover mentally. I am swirling with emotions of what happened in front of my house, and talking with neighbors who were also affected, seeing their photos. Just wild how shaken we all are.

My favorite photos from the Olympics are of this Italian figure skater Daniel Grassl. He looks absolutely insane in so many of them. It's great.
