I’m SUPER owed that! 🤣 And get that from my 27 yr old coworker. The 33 yr old was asking about kids tv shows that I never watched & was insisting that I knew the show that I’d never heard of! We weren’t kids at the same time. I was in puberty when she was in diapers… You get it! WHY IS IT SO HOT?!?

I have always been a twerp to @wentrogue.bsky.social & @makeherway.bsky.social. Now I appreciate their kind patience with me. I had a 33 yr old tell me today that we were the same age & I nearly lost my perimenopausal shit on her. Instead I said “Oh honey, we aren’t. But thanks?”

Tonight Joey went to Petco, his 1st real ride in his van. He successfully got into the van and on the ride he laid down completely with his head resting on his paws, that’s something he couldn’t do in my Outback. The van is worth every penny!

We did it! Joey fits in his 48”x33” crate & his beagle brother, Barack Obeagle, fits in his 24”x18” crate next to him. We can fit some extra friends too!

Today’s the day Joey’s getting a new car.

Don’t mind me, I’m just a childless middle aged woman up late shopping for minivans because I need something to comfortably shuttle around my dogs. My 2.5 yr old Newfoundland no longer fits in my Subaru, or any Subaru model for that matter.

South Minneapolis. Found live coverage on Fox 9!

@fox9mn.bsky.social has it together. THANK YOU, from the TVless unfinished basement!

Live from the basement. The cat’s somewhere down here too.

Guess I’m following you for breaking weather news since the local station websites aren’t helpful!

I’m in my basement during a tornado warning trying to pull up ANY local live news feed and @wcconews.bsky.social @kare11.bsky.social @kstptv.bsky.social are giving me ads, pop ups for news letters, & 10pm broadcasts from 3 hours ago! This is not at all helpful!

It was so much fun! Thanks, @natepentz.bsky.social for inviting me and to @betsysoderlund.bsky.social for being my date.

This is another reason Beagles are the BEST!

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Minneapolis DFL Caucus goers please Remember the current city council voted TWICE for the terrible city budget. The budget that cut city infrastructure and added unsustainable pilot programs.

@yrfatfriend.bsky.social @michaelhobbes.bsky.social when are you guys going to do a Maintenance Phase episode taking down Rachel Ray? Or was she able to evade Oprah’s horcrux curse?

Wish I were one of Elon's kids so I'd never see him again

He felt extra giant when he was trying to pull me down the stairs when we saw you on Wednesday 😂

Did Joey & I just invent a Coffee Table Dog Bed?

I am wearing a plaid flannel shirt while holding my 10 week old Newfoundland puppy for the 1st time. Only his back is visible. He’s 24lbs.

I am wearing a plaid flannel shirt while hugging my 2 year old Newfoundland dog. Only his back is visible. He’s 140 lbs.

Brace yourselves, I’ve got good news… today is Joe Beagleden’s gotcha day! It might be hard to tell which picture is from when he was 10 weeks and which was from today.

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

Everyone, wake up! My cat brought her ball up to my bed. Ok. You’re awake now? She’s going to leave.

Right now I’m just a dozen coping mechanisms in a trench coat

A Guide to the International Grocers of the Twin Cities - Racket The Twin Cities is home to over 40 international grocers, and they deserve your dollars, too.

With certain chain grocers owned by conglomerates doing rollbacks of DEI initiatives, now is as good a time as any to remind you of the many international grocers we have in the Twin Cities that I keyed up for @racketmn.bsky.social: racketmn.com/guide-intern...

I would love that! Or even inside so you could meet Della. She’s got strong opinions on hyper local politics too!

I’m still so upset about the budget that I’d like to see serious contender in ALL wards. Not only did they eliminate funding for key infrastructure that would reduce wasteful spending and pay for itself in a few years they got rid of the PD horses!

I can’t find any information on who is running for City Council in Ward 9, besides Jason Chavez. Does he have a challenger?

It has been 60 years since Minnesota experienced as little crime as it did in 2024. For the vast majority of people alive in Minnesota last year was the safest of their lives.

Keep this in mind when politicians in upcoming elections attempt to use fear to get you to vote for them!
