Let’s be clear about what these groups are arguing against: they don’t want people to *temporarily* have 30 more days to get resources to stop an eviction.

Our residents have been subsidizing these groups with millions in mutual aid these past few months. These groups can wait the extra 30 days.

I stop for a minute and breathe, since the surge has receded a bit. Then I realize that there are still over 600 of the bastards still here with a likely goal of disrupting elections, and I get back to work.

Please don't take that as me pooping on sex workers. Sex work is valuable work, I just have not chosen to do it to make a living, just like other things I am/could be good at like sales, fundraising, childcare, petsitting, auto mechanics probably.

Nobody could have seen this coming, wow

So that's the new plan. Thanks EB!

she does ever. Because if you think she won't be working against Minnesota's interest, you obviously aren't paying attention.

And I think conservatives will be on board with this plan because they generally DON'T think the trickle down effect exists, or if they do, they think it doesn't matter.

a DFL governor, but will absolutely cascade to downballot races. DFL House, DFL Senate - they won't get much done, but neither will the GOP, and Minnesota can handle a four-year limbo in progress. It's better than electing a garbage human who so terrifies the DFL elite they won't oppose anything

So I just start convincing conservatives to vote in the DFL primary, for Paul or whomever, and then the DFL primary winner loses to whatever nutjob the Republicans pick. A nutjob at the top of the Republican ballot almost guarantees a large opposition turnout, which may not be successful in electing

him. Still doesn't solve the problem of having a powerhouse candidate who would be good at being governor (I would not, Paul would not).

So EB noodled on this while I kicked some ass at Match Madness Extreme. And she realised - we don't have to have a DFL governor if we have a DFL legislature.

balance shifted. Don't get me wrong, Paul can't beat Amy, and the DFL loves to punish first-time candidates, but his platform is impossible to argue with, and he has been a VERY dedicated DFL volunteer for a long time, so... that might be rewarded with at least lack of coordinated attack against

run for office ever is that I don't want the public to see my butt for free, and I reeeeeally don't want to have to explain my finances to my relatives.

But with @ferenceformn.bsky.social entering the race, a candidate who could maybe siphon enough votes from Amy to block an endorsement, the

I really was very much serious about running for governor against @klobuchar.senate.gov - she's a monster who will make the state worse - if the dumb @dfl.org tried to anoint her victor without allowing a serious challenger.

But aside from the job being sucktastic, the main reasons I don't WANT to

Usually I do that by singing a song to myself, one I know all of the words to without thinking about it (weirdly enough). Yankee Doodle is a common one, Happy Birthday, Since You've Been Gone, I've Just Seen A Face - something peppy to keep my pace up in the game.

But sometimes EB solves problems.

I do at least one Duolingo lesson every day, and I particularly like the timed word match one. I find I do better if I can keep my English brain occupied while my Swedish brain is engaged, because once EB realises what's happening on the phone screen, it wants to help, but it DOESN'T KNOW SWEDISH.

Hot.

Five. 🥺🥺🥺

I WILL RAISE SO MUCH MONEY FOR YOU @epmurphymn.bsky.social PLEASE SAVE US

Getting back to my handwritten love letters!

Do we know what the timing of that would look like? I have a commentary ready to send to the Strib but obviously missed the print deadline for tomorrow. It's easily modified to chastise...

Dawanna Witt is cool with random men pulling guns on people. Cool. Cool cool cool cool cool cool.

You think the dust setup changes or whatever the heck they are coinciding with him hearing the noise is just a coincidence? 🤔🤔🤔

Hee.

Has Jacob said he'll veto this?

Ffffffffffffffff

Saaaaaaaame

Alienating your core customers, then doubling down at least two more times, then allowing occupation troops in your own stores arresting your own employees, then spearheading a nonresponse letter to the community wondering what side to take. Yea Target is a real business school head scratcher.

Eat healthier, lose weight, and build lasting habits with easy photo tracking, proven nutrition & thousands of recipes. Then there is a "Claim offer" button next to a single unhighlighted word: Decline. And I surely did.

Um fuck you Grubhub

Fuuuuuuucking go away helicopters

Got her booked with a mobile groomer - freaking A I love these mobile pet services. Her dentist and vet are both mobile, now groomer! The person who booked me spit out the NATO phonetic alphabet so fast I was sure he'd served, so I did it right back to him and we were very impressed with each other.
