Paul McCartney in October. Stevie Nicks in November. John Fogerty in March. Need some bucket list shows for Dec/Jan/Feb to fill that gap 🤝🏻

Even tho you are of a different generation and don’t listen to that type of music at all, you are guaranteed to know at least two songs played at this event too…would be an amazing kid/mom event. We’re taking my father in law!

And if I’m shot to death because I’m creeping around Como Park in a clown costume and scared people, the rest of my community should know so they won’t also do that. Even post mortem we can help each other. Talking about death is a net positive.

“It’s nobody’s business” actually yeah, it should be public knowledge. Most deaths are caused by something that afflicts those living and we should be aware of what’s fatal. Depression, substance use, taking walks in the woods and contracting fatal lymes disease…say it out loud so others can prep

Twin Cities, we should all be at Paul McCartney next Friday 👀 SEE YA THERE

I just bought $23(!!!) tickets on Stubhub for Paul McCartney in Minneapolis next week.

I've seen him 5 times and never paid under $100.

I wouldn't sleep on those 🎟 if you're interested. I sent a mass email to all my music students parents letting them know those are available.

No matter how I die, please put my cause of death in line 1 of my obituary. Hoping it’s “she was old as balls” and not “shot to death wearing clown costume” but no matter what, my people deserve to know.

"If that happens, only 30% of federal homelessness funds would be available for permanent housing — down from the current rate of 87%. Nationwide, that means the money available for permanent housing will shrink from $3.3 billion down to about $1.1 billion, Politico reported."

Fuck, y'all.

Speaking of housing first, feds cutting supports for unhoused people in CA is a real telling illustration of their priorities.

California braces for ‘devastating’ expected cuts to federal homeless housing funds

Thousands of Californians could return to homelessness as the feds reportedly plan to disinvest from permanent housing.

NO. I CANNOT IMAGINE A DEMOCRAT DOING ANY OF THESE THINGS BECAUSE THEY DON'T. AND IF THEY DID, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, REPUBLICANS WOULD BURN THE EARTH TO CHARCOAL BEFORE ALLOWING .1% OF THE INITIATIVE TO BE CARRIED OUT. JESUS LORD.

Educating community members on what mental health problems can look like, giving context to substance use, and presenting info on the national housing crisis is important as we fight for those who are most dejected by our systems.

As a human who works with people experiencing mental health crises every day, I forget how scary an episode of psychosis or other behavior-modifying incident can look to folks who are not “used” to it. I think a lot of folks in my field forget that.

I hate it more than I can express in words because I start to express myself about it and become so overwhelmed with rage I can't finish my thought. Hoping it's like Blu Ray or some shit and fizzles out fast soon.

Destroy the Google 😭 I already do the “-ai” when using it manually but the Google Home is so convenient for my partner who doesn’t have a smartphone or computer 😭 Why’d they have to go and AI everything god damn

Lauren in Saint Paul @comobelladonna.bsky.social · 2d

our Google Home has been functionally useless since Google switched to AI for their search engine. usually our questions (concert dates, weather, definitions of words) are met with “I do not understand” and when it does answer, the answer is wrong 🙄
