Anyone local have extra YA books? They seem to go fastest at the @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social, and reading is harm reduction

It's really OK to change your mind when new facts are presented. It really is.

La Delicious is so good!
My eyes nearly popped out of my head the first time I saw their pastry case.

Tawny owl

Tawny owl

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking β€œSo when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧡

This very thing (lights to get through traffic signals) happened to me today on Century Ave -- an actual marked SUV & an unmarked SUV that was following the other (this one did not turn on any lights but proceeded to speed along with the first through a couple of intersections).

If want downtown, any downtown, to be a place for ppl before 8:30am and after 5:30pm making is β€œplayground” for suburbanites ain’t it.

You do that by making it a neighborhood where people can actually live. And just for the rich, but for working families as well!

Hey State Fair goers! If you fancy a bit of a scavenger hunt, my uncle β€˜Neil Stoeckel’s memorial bench is somewhere in the livestock area every year. My sweet elderly aunt is planning to go on Monday & would love to know where it is to take her annual photo with it. ❀️ Let me know if you spot it?

One last thing about Dobson: I used to feel like maybe I was overreacting re: my MIL giving me & my daughter FOtF books etc, but seeing so many ppl talking about the abuse they suffered as a result of his brand of evil reassures me that I was not.
I hope all the victims are healing. 🫢

Oh! What tremendous news!
I'm not in the habit of celebrating a person's death, but this guy suuuuuuuuuuuuuucked. He was an absolute scum-sucking, vile, hateful maggot who actively made this world worse.

Wildflyer Coffee asks customers to 'Make the Switch' to help young people facing homelessness The Social Enterprise business has grown to meet demand amid the housing crisis, but it suddenly had a critical grant cut in half.

This is the ongoing ramification of the Feeding Our Future fraud and other similar frauds perpetrated on the MN State Government. It is harder to get government grants and those that do exist have less money: www.kare11.com/article/news...

LOL, I saw Dead Poets Society that summer at Har Mar 11 (which was something of a special treat, usually we waited 'til films went to the cheap cinema, Roseville 4). I was probably too young for the subject matter, but IDK if my grandma knew what it was about?

Man at store last night was complaining that glue sticks only came in multi-packs. (List must have asked for 1?!) I cannot comment on family's $ sitch, but sir, just buy the multipack. Your 7?yo is going to need more than 1. Contribute to the class or keep them for home. They won't go to waste.

I'm really trying to be less angry/ negative but y'all, I am so sick of ppl being like, "AI is so dumb, I gave it this prompt and look at this slop it churned out."
Stop it! Stop that nonsense right now!
If you know it's grinding out baloney that's actively lowering our QOL, stop fucking feeding it.

My grandmother used to have me do chores like washing the walls or the inside of the refrigerator when I lived with her during the summers of my childhood & I used to be like, what kind of nonsense is this?
Now I own a home with walls and a refrigerator and I get it. (But still hate it.)
