cheese boards count! have fun!

I spent a lot of time writing about the Saint Paul election so I’m re-posting myself for the weekday crowd even if it’s gauche.

20 minutes in and I’ve already learned a lot about why the heck Minneapolis has an elected Park Board and BET, recommended!

City Question 1 / Administrative Citations seems like a *great* opportunity for us weirdos to contact our less-online family and friends to offer info and advice (vote Yes!)

I’ve never before been in a gay neighborhood soccer bar where everybody was chanting for an urban geographer, but I must say it’s a good time here at the @sustainstpaul.bsky.social fundraiser.

Last night’s fundraiser for @moreneighbors.org and @sustainstpaul.bsky.social was great - love to be in a room full of people who will lose their absolute shit for @blindeke.bsky.social

I love our cities 🫶 @sustainstpaul.bsky.social @moreneighbors.org @blackhartstp.com @hoopermn.bsky.social

LA, DC, CHI… could Minneapolis be next? Our new episode posted TODAY explores questions raised by Trump’s attempted takeovers

What is the nature of this threat? How are politicians and regular people reacting? What should we be demanding from our local leaders, and what can we do ourselves?

My most naive and idealistic political opinion is you shouldn’t lie to people while you ask them for money

I wrote up my thoughts about Abundance Conference publiccomment.blog/p/when-is-a-...

One of the best local podcasts, definitely worth listening too if you haven't tuned in yet.

I have fantastic news for you about Taiwan: www.theguardian.com/world/2022/d...

If you've ever wondered to yourself "How many other facets of our global civilization have been shaped by humanity's centuries-long struggle against TB?", John's book is a banger: everythingistb.com

What I found is a Kneipp pool, named after Sebastian Kneipp a 19th century priest-turned-naturopath with a following in Germany and Slovenia. Kneipp developed a deep interest in water cures and such after contracting (and recovering from), wait for it, Tuberculosis! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebasti...

I discovered this odd little shallow pool on a hike/bike trail near Pullach, Germany and hey @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social I bet you'll *never* guess which horrible disease led to the construction of this and many similar pools in Germany

Good Morning! I dropped a big thread of little nonsense from Amsterdam, Brussels, and Munich yesterday while waiting for photos from my fancy camera to upload that you may enjoy

"Die Stadt Ulm pflegt gemeinsam mit der Schwesterstadt Neu-Ulm seit vielen Jahrzehnten freundschaftliche Beziehungen zu New Ulm/Minnesota, USA"
The city of Ulm, together with its sister city Neu-Ulm, has been maintaining friendly relations with New Ulm/Minnesota, USA for many decades.

That's it for now! Time to crack open a nice can of hot dogs I got at the duty free shop

The Bavarians are extremely proud of their alpine water, not least of which for being the first step in all that delicious Bier they make in München. Wandering around the bike/hiking trails along the Isar and you'll find all sorts of monuments and fountains with unlimited mountain-fed Trinkwasser
