Got my first laptop in college in 2004 so I could edit my senior film project, it didn't have wifi, the internet was not a thing you did all day back then and applications didn't require you be online. I asked for a wifi card for xmas and instead my dad gave me a 100ft ethernet cable.

I often find myself wondering if our local politics are weirder and more absurd than most cities or if all local politics are absurd once you start paying attention. (Personally I think it's somewhere in the middle)

I love this song a lot but whenever I listen to it I laugh a little because it's definitely not celebratory of our fair city

City of Lakes Community Land Trust helps low to moderate income buyers purchase homes, if you could get the sellers to commit to buying to a CLCLT buyer that would be something. But I think sellers love to sell to flippers bc they get fast cash. :(

Nothing even one percent that cool would ever happen at anything put on by Bari's Free Press

In 2013 at the national media justice conference in Denver put on by @freepress.bsky.social I went to a rave after a full day of making videos with a friend who worked in community radio in Philly, the rave was being DJ'd by Hank Shocklee of Public Enemy, and I fell asleep on a couch lol

Anyway go follow @freepress.bsky.social they are awesome and fighting the good fight

It will forever piss me off that Bari Weiss branded her garbage site w a nearly identical name to Free Press, the much older media activist org. This headline really confused me bc I have been to great parties thrown by Free Press, but obvs any party thrown by Bari's Free Press would be miserable

I work nearby so I'm over there a few times a week, it's really nice!

That's legit a description of Frey's neighborhood lol

WTF is wrong with these anti-trans dem dingalings. It's an easy win if they align on messaging, all they need to say is "just like abortion, decisions about healthcare belong between you and your dr or your child's dr and no one else, especially not politicians. that includes trans healthcare."

I also get a lot of ideas from this very sweet nutritionist military wife, her Super Simple Dinners series are not super exciting but their always pretty good and well balanced! www.instagram.com/nutritionals...

I basically make this every week, sometimes I add some chopped chicken sausage or thinly sliced lemon. It's very easy and so good and filling and always impresses folks so I make it for friends a lot too! www.instagram.com/reel/CXuJz5x...

When Frey talks about his belief that housing is a right, imagine how transformative investing $75M in public housing could be. When he talks about doing a politically unpopular thing, ask why it's never the unpopular thing for the wealthiest Minneapolitans.

When I got my septum pierced she leaned across the desk during an advisory meeting and said "how do you pick your nose with that?"
She was always supportive and funny and sharp. I'm so glad I knew her.

Is it any surprise that the woman that created these images shaped me into the artist I am today? www.vdb.org/artists/joan...

Just learned that my college film advisor Joan Braderman passed last month. She was so incredible and I learned so much about art, film, activism, and feminism from her. www.legacy.com/us/obituarie...

Got tons of restaurants and activities listed already, but we both love shopping for goofy ass treasures so I need suggestions.

My oldest friend is visiting in a month so I can take her to the MN state fair! And I'm making a big list of mpls stuff we should do together but the stores section is oddly short. We both love vintage and kitschy stuff, but beyond Ax Man and Hunt & Gather I'm kinda drawing a blank. Suggestions?

Please share widely!

Lots of comments explaining why this is dumb but also in my house we have a lot of fans so we can keep the AC at a minimum - ac makes the house tolerable, fans make it comfy

The pedestrian survival rate when hit at 40 MPH is only 15%. We've got a cultural problem that needs fixing, because…

✅ Driving 40 MPH on city streets is considered to be acceptable.

❌ Punishing people for driving 40 MPH on city streets is considered to be unacceptable.

The never getting back 2014-era big chain rents is the absolute heart and crux of it. Spaces with reasonable rents are full! But no one is ever going to pay $30,000/month for 5,000sq ft w no parking in Uptown in the foreseeable future so landlords MUST lower rents if they want a viable biz district

It's incredibly easy to look at a situation and identify some tiny, marginal group who can be made to wait or experience just a little suffering while the rest of us try and keep the ship steady. The enemy knows so. That's why they make the bargain to begin with. While eyeing up *your* neck.

Real men have agoraphobia!

Just learned from my west coast pals that if you are outside in the smokey air for a long time you should change your clothes when you go inside bc they're covered in particulates
GAHHHH

These fascists are diabolical, and until you stop pretending that antifascists and socialists are scary or extreme, you will continue to take your lumps from these devils who are running the table on you.

I don't understand how people are existing outside today like this is normal? So many people smoking, exercising, hanging out with pets and kids; this air hurts my head and face but folks act like it's normal is seriously confusing and feels scary AF long-term to me.

oof, I'm so sorry. That's awful. I can't believe how many ppl I just saw outside raw dogging this air!

Oh noooooo
