lol one time a grocery store worker in Tahoe City, CA asked me if I was from MN. I was like “WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT”

UGHHH I just asked Steve for a sip of his Coke, and instead of saying “Coke” I pronounced it “Coke” with that Minnesota o. 😭 I did not grow up here

Die Spitz from Austin, TX. Saw them open for Amyl & the Sniffers in Madison two years ago and they blew us away. They were just here (at the Palace) opening for Viagra Boys and they slayed . . . AND they’re headlining a show at the Entry in Nov! GO if you can

and I mean *physically* showing up. Because they all do, and the incumbent does not

Just home from my umpteenth mayoral campaign event (a fundraiser in this case; thx Declan!) and I gotta say, yet again, HOW did we get so lucky?? I’m a DeWayne #1 gal but I genuinely love Omar and Jazz too. A lot! Like, I love all three of these men more every time i hear them!

Dewayne Davis, Omar Fateh, and Jazz Hampton on the left; another man (in a baseball hat) stands on concrete steps and speaks into a microphone, and to his left, a fifth man (also in a baseball hat) listens, his hands in his jacket pocket

anyway I shouldn't have to be yelling at the fucking Democratic party in my state to pull their heads out of their asses while the Supreme Court is hearing arguments about whether or not it's legal to psychologically (and sometimes physically!) torture people like me! What the fuck are we even doing

Dear neighbor,

I’m excited to share that the City of Minneapolis has installed a new NARCAN® vending machine in Ward 9. You can find this new vending machine in Phillips at Fire Station 5 (2700 Bloomington Ave South). 1/

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

Good luck! I’ve literally been trying to do this since 2015 (add thyroid disease, a struggling young adult son, and a parent with dementia to that mix). Guess I’m aging out of “midlife” at this point, tho, re the ennui 😩

I feel compelled to preface this by saying that I know how to make delicious frosting from scratch. It’s not hard, and people love it. BUT you know that Betty Crocker or Pillsbury premade frosting? You ever house that shit with a spoon, straight from the container, as if it were ice cream or yogurt?

I was just gonna say this. To know him is to love him—unfortunately a big chunk of the electorate still doesn’t know him. On the doors (as recently as last week!) I often hear people sheepishly admit that they haven’t done their homework on the mayoral race yet

- Mary Parker Follett

Stop calling for unity when you really want uniformity.

I like everything you had to say about engaging youth, climate justice and resilience, and other important non-goat issues as well 😅💯

Oh nooo! Well imo you saw the better half of the show. I mean nothing against the psychedelic furs, but that was a weird bill with the wrong band headlining
