I like Bluesky but it's not going to be viable long term unless you follow me into the catacombs, where I have a pipe of what passes for Amontillado.

The girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa

A still from the MST3K movie "Werewolf", showing Natalie, one of the lead characters. She's about to deliver one of my favorite lines: "This is absolutely fascinating."

I really like it! The rest of the design is great! If it were a loon, I would've bought it already! But I just don't think I can walk around with a big, dumb pelican on my shirt.

Ever since I moved to the Halloween Capitol of the World, my spooky-ness has been expanding, ever outward from October 31, until soon I will be spooky year round

Is it possible to come help with kitten socialization? Canadian and I have had a rough week and might need some kitten/Tom time.

One thing that's interesting about living in Anoka is the adversarial relationship between the county and the city. My perception is that Hennepin County/Mpls and Ramsey County/St Paul are not in this much conflict, is that right though? Gift link - www.startribune.com/anoka-county...

Anoka County sues MnDOT over $6.2M for ‘dubious boondoggle’ of a project

The money slated for county projects was diverted to pay for a pedestrian bridge over the Rum River in Anoka, which is part of a plan to add surfing to the dam.

Thank you so much ❤️ He ended up with his entire arm immobilized in a splint (with a dressing that can't get wet) for 10+ days...not what we were planning for. They fixed a major nerve issue that they only discovered during surgery, but in the short term it sucks.

Hill @hillohbeanz.bsky.social · 1d

Overwhelmed. Husband's surgery last week ended up being bigger than expected and we're struggling. It will pass.

Honestly, if you set up a GoFundMe I know I would contribute, and I'm sure I'm not alone. You are appreciated and the position you're in sucks so much.

If that doesn't feel right, I'd buy one of your alley pictures (and I bet others would too).

Hill @hillohbeanz.bsky.social · 1d

I am glad you are here. ❤️

So to be political briefly and then take a break from it for a while, promise.

Guys... you need to stop dooming.

A big reasons conservatives win is they hide their health bar and aren't always flashing red and screaming "WE'RE COOKED, TODAYS THE DAY I DO IT"

Were they copying and pasting the M from another team and forgot to change the pelican?

Hill @hillohbeanz.bsky.social · 3d

Do...do they think that's what a loon looks like?

Still very bothered by this.

Hill @hillohbeanz.bsky.social · 3d

When you think of a bird associated with Minnesota, do you think of...a pelican?

The back of a sweatshirt. It features the word Minnesota. Each letter is filled with Minnesota related images. For some reason, there's a pelican.

I was so distracted by the non-loon that I didn't even realize they used the old logo
