I like that there's a variety of reasons to say no to Waymo: more cars on the road, can they even handle MN winter?, workforce implications, undercut mass transit, safety, general opposition to autonomous vehicles. It's the "What's Your No to Waymo?" campaign.

Did on Sunday around 2, but might be a mad dash during the weekday. But go for it, anyway.

There once was a city.

Now it’s an abandoned suburban office park. With no public parks in the core its a sterile private/public β€œpartnership.” The downtown council is in charge. The skyways hours are a mess. Crystal court, Peavy, Commons & Mill City are private spaces. THEY ruined downtown.

Me, talking to a funder about data & organizing, me looking at an organizer when they ask me the same question 10 x in a row, and me, trying to be cool with other data people.

I can't tell if my grasp on time is weak because i have aging issues, or because i just have a shit memory. Or those are the same thing, lol.

the way Minneapolis treats public seating is the way a cat treats a box: if i fits, i sits.

Finally (hopefully, lol): 1. if you are in a relationship that is breaking your heart, end it. 1A: It may take you a really long time to realize that it isn't good for you. 1B: Try not to blame yourself for taking a long time to end it. Ending it may take longer than you'd like, and that's ok too.

Ask for help. Whether it's practical (need some help moving, etc) or emotional (struggling to handle this feeling, etc), just ask for help. Just ask.

Go to therapy! even if you think you don't need it. And if your employer offers benefits, take them, if you're able to. TAKE THEM. PTO, the health & wellness programs, sabbatical, financial counselling--whatever they offer, it's yours to use!

This is hard (really hard for me, at least): accept yourself. Try not to compare yourself to other people, and measure your value according to that.

solid advice right here. also, wear sunscreen. and if you wanna be friends with or hang out with someone new, just reach out. might be awkward, but just do it.
