Good morning Minneapolis Bluesky! The weather is a very breezy 46 deg, the early voting line is approximately 15 minutes, and it is apparently National Deviled Egg Day 🎉 Its a great day to vote for a new mayor 💜💜💜 I ranked Davis, Fateh, Hampton. And also my girl Aisha obviously
Image of smiling white woman with blue hair holding a red white and blue sticker that says “I voted early” Image of a white board in background that says “Sunday Nov 2nd: National Deviled Egg Day” with tallied votes for “yum” or “yuck”. “Yum” has about 4x as many votes as “yuck”, which is as it should be Picture of two yellow buttons that say “Aisha Chugthai for Ward 10”, one with a “I voted early” sticker stuck on top.

A photo of a white cat with gray face. Their eyes are slightly squinted, their mouth is held open with fangs visible, and they look endearingly dumb. This is an example of “the flehman response” which Merriam Webster defines as: a mammalian behavior (as of horses or cats) in which the animal inhales with the mouth open and upper lip curled to facilitate exposure of the vomeronasal organ to a scent or pheromone

Got some pretty sick bandaids as a reward for making it to my vaccine appointment despite an accidental nap

Possible script (fair warning I had to only read half because it wouldn’t let me record the whole thing since it was too long apparently 🥲)
Hi my name is (blank) and I’m one of Senator (blank)’s constituents. House Republicans are trying to insert multiple articles of anti-trans legislation, including a full transgender healthcare ban, into the FY 26 budget. I’m calling to tell the Senator to stand up for trans Americans and vote NO on any bill with that language. This IS worth forcing a shutdown. [you can stop here at 0:20 if you want to bail out - but it’s better if you don’t] This care funding ban follows the map the GOP charted while attacking abortion. Democrats lost that fight by giving in to the GOP an inch at a time. Giving an inch at a time on trans care will devastate trans Americans and it’ll get democrats nothing in return but contempt. [you can stop here at 0:40 if you want to bail put - but it’s better if you don’t] Right now, the most popular democrat in the US, Zohran Mamdani, is campaigning on making trans healthcare cheaper and easier to access, and he’s only got more good will because of it. [you can stop here at 0:50 if you want to bail out - but it’s better if you don’t] I’m asking the Senator to refuse to allow *any* anti-trans language including a healthcare ban in the FY 26 bill. Do *not* vote for any bill with that language. This IS worth forcing a shutdown. Standing with trans people is the right thing to do *and* it’s politically smart. Voters and donors show up for Democrats who fight.

Yikes. Sorry she was so cruel when you were just being kind. 😕
The “is this a pigeon” meme. Man with dark hair and glasses holding his hand palm up, with a yellow butterfly hovering above it. The man is labeled “conservatives” and has the text “is this an attack on my whole being?” While the butterfly is labeled “accurate information”

Meanwhile this mfer would probably pose all day
Screen shot of an animal crossing villager sweeping his house full of boxes. The character is Rodney, a blue hamster with some pink hair just on his forehead, a frown on his face, maybe some acne (?) on his chin, and the tired, half shut eyes of a man who has spent the last 40 years getting cut off from drinks at his local bar. I hate him.

I wish you all the joy of getting to explain “Dershowitz was once again refused a pierogi 🚨🚨🚨” to your not extremely online friends. Truly a delightful end to the day 😌
Screen shot of an article posted by NEWSMAX. Post reads: “Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz was once again refused a pierogi from an unwilling vendor at a Martha’s Vineyard market, the latest in his controversies over pierogis in the celebrity hot spot.” There is a photo of Dershowitz looking upset talking on a cellphone, looking a lot like the Karen meme of the white woman who called called the cops on either a black man who was bird watching, or the black family barbecuing. I get my Karen stories mixed up sometimes. The title of the article is “Dershowitz again denied pierogi, told to leave farmer’s market.”

Lil mini family reunion is coming up and I’ve been thinking about my grandparents, who are gone now. They gave us grandkids the phenomenal gift of having adults who were deeply interested in our lives, loved us a lot, and showed it. I wish every kid was so lucky and I intend to be that aunty myself
Picture of one grandma and granddaughters about ten or eleven years old on a boat on Lake Superior, backlit so it’s hard to see. They are all cheesin and having a great time. Picture of a grandpa in a blue shirt, one granddaughter sitting on his knee, one grandson to his side with an arm around him, a slightly older granddaughter leaning over the back of his chair. They are also all cheesin and having a good time.

A Fateh endorsement, a bunch of progressive park board endorsements, a resounding Frey loss and a LOOOT of knitting. Also I never got upgraded so my subcaucus must have held strong 😂 This alternate is pleased

So in addition to the shenanigans he’s been pulling harassing people while phone banking, this guy cannot find five (5) people who actually live in Minneapolis to speak at his campaign kickoff? Sounds about right for one of Frey’s PAC people

I’m no lawyer but even Becka should be able to understand: “Previous orders in this proceeding have repeatedly addressed the use of filings … and the perils of using compulsory legal process to seek information about a candidate’s critics. The Request plainly disregards both of these admonitions”
