Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵
We got a heckuva hailstorm to the east.
I think there was some thunder here in the Twin Cities.
This very thing (lights to get through traffic signals) happened to me today on Century Ave -- an actual marked SUV & an unmarked SUV that was following the other (this one did not turn on any lights but proceeded to speed along with the first through a couple of intersections).

Minneapolis, can you help?
Shorts and hygiene supplies also being requested!
This is an overwhelming and ongoing situation - we love & appreciate all donations, but if you have stuff that isn't on this list & aren't sure if you should bring it, please DM here or @katyrex.meatjacker.social, & anything we can't process today is always welcome at any of our drop off locations!

If want downtown, any downtown, to be a place for ppl before 8:30am and after 5:30pm making is “playground” for suburbanites ain’t it.

You do that by making it a neighborhood where people can actually live. And just for the rich, but for working families as well!
"What we are looking to the future to see is: Downtown will be more of a playground. It’ll be more of an entertainment district. We need to make sure that it’s not just a place where people are coming into work at 8 a.m. and leaving at 5:30 p.m." www.startribune.com/downtown-min...

Help her out and elect a new mayor.
The Mayor's wife is here to tell you it's all fine and well to protest, they just don't want to see it. It's too bad she's not married to a lawyer who can tell her that sidewalks are one of the quintessential public fora.

As non-accusatory as possible, because I'm speaking generally & not solely about this precise instance/encounter:

So nobody's punching ANY of these guys?

Having a hard time understanding why.
There's no line, then? Just... Walking around us unbothered?
state fair is always so good but why do I feel like we really slid extra hard into fascism when I wasn’t looking?

Hey State Fair goers! If you fancy a bit of a scavenger hunt, my uncle ‘Neil Stoeckel’s memorial bench is somewhere in the livestock area every year. My sweet elderly aunt is planning to go on Monday & would love to know where it is to take her annual photo with it. ❤️ Let me know if you spot it?
One last thing about Dobson: I used to feel like maybe I was overreacting re: my MIL giving me & my daughter FOtF books etc, but seeing so many ppl talking about the abuse they suffered as a result of his brand of evil reassures me that I was not.
I hope all the victims are healing. 🫶

IDK about Anoka, but Washington County is pretty good, too! 🙂
I love MN libraries!
Oh! What tremendous news!
I'm not in the habit of celebrating a person's death, but this guy suuuuuuuuuuuuuucked. He was an absolute scum-sucking, vile, hateful maggot who actively made this world worse.

This is the ongoing ramification of the Feeding Our Future fraud and other similar frauds perpetrated on the MN State Government. It is harder to get government grants and those that do exist have less money: www.kare11.com/article/news...

Testimony Opportunity! Council continues to lead on reining in the broken MPD off-duty system, and is considering a proposal that would recoup $1.4 million that taxpayers pay so that officers can work private side gigs.
LOL, I saw Dead Poets Society that summer at Har Mar 11 (which was something of a special treat, usually we waited 'til films went to the cheap cinema, Roseville 4). I was probably too young for the subject matter, but IDK if my grandma knew what it was about?
The classic summer cinema of 1989
Man at store last night was complaining that glue sticks only came in multi-packs. (List must have asked for 1?!) I cannot comment on family's $ sitch, but sir, just buy the multipack. Your 7?yo is going to need more than 1. Contribute to the class or keep them for home. They won't go to waste.

I'm really trying to be less angry/ negative but y'all, I am so sick of ppl being like, "AI is so dumb, I gave it this prompt and look at this slop it churned out."
Stop it! Stop that nonsense right now!
If you know it's grinding out baloney that's actively lowering our QOL, stop fucking feeding it.
Thank goodness!!
She’s home!! So happy. 😭
There's another search effort this morning for Victoria Jackson, meeting in 15 minutes at Rick's Coffee Bar. Please keep an eye out for Victoria.
My grandmother used to have me do chores like washing the walls or the inside of the refrigerator when I lived with her during the summers of my childhood & I used to be like, what kind of nonsense is this?
Now I own a home with walls and a refrigerator and I get it. (But still hate it.)
i don’t think it’s fair that the walls can get dusty. like what am i supposed to do about that. that doesn’t seem like it should be my problem.
