Please feel free to always give me Fun Twin Cities Facts! I have a lot to learn

😂 The year? It all blends together anyway. High school? We can just call it “high school” and no one will be the wiser.

But Shakopee?! Pulling that out? That is a skill! 🙌

Absolutely! She’s a legend.

Ok: She- Not he as I said- was released into a wooded area in the suburbs.

I know he made it to the top and some wildlife rehab group got him, but I never heard anything after that. I’m going to have to Google this!

A raccoon in a dark yard, caught by a Ring camera. He is standing on his back legs about to climb up a small rock ledge. A water bowl and a dish of apples is behind him.

I can’t get a good pic of him outside the window, but here he is just a few minutes ago when he came down for a snack.

OMG YES! I was so worried about that raccoon.

Thankfully, Ernesto is less adventurous. He’s what you’d call “rotund” and we’ve learned you can hear it when he gets on the roof. (Thankfully, not in!) He lies under the eave, then heads to the yard to eat some apples or cat food. He has a routine lol

We have a raccoon that hangs out on our roof for a while each evening, outside our upstairs hallway window. He shows up right before we head to bed for the night.

We’ve named him Ernesto and each night we add to his lore.

In South Burlington, Vermont, protesters are being tear-gassed by ICE and local police as they attempt to prevent a kidnapping.

This is my fear

Thank you!

It may not, but I want to hear specifics about what they are actually proposing. Apparently, Iowa Dems think it should be voluntary that our water not be poisoned. That sounds pretty weak and ineffectual to me, but I want to hear more.

Is there somewhere to read more about the specifics of the financial incentives for farmers?

Thank you. I hope so!

I’m so sorry, Trish. That had to have been hard for you and your family.

So far, she’s able to make her own choices and can manage her finances. But she is lonely and wants a partner, thus the sketchy dating sites. It’s been a struggle to make sure she is safe while respecting her independence.

Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

there is no opposition party in the U.S.

This is ridiculous. Harris and the DNC are not above criticism, even when the alternative is Trump. In fact, the DNC and Harris should have listened to that criticism knowing the alternative was Trump!

a man in a suit and tie is making a funny face with his eyes closed and his hands folded . Alt: Michael Scott from the Office bowing his head in frustration while he brings his hand to his face and rubs his eyes.

My 80 year old mom spends a lot of time on sketchy dating sites. It’s been an issue.

Her current interest was someone who said they were Sen Jack Reed from RI. She says the big red flag was that he said he was living in San Diego. It seems it wasn’t a red flag that he claimed to be a senator.

We've much work to do, and time runs short.

We do what we have to right now. And I am grateful we can laugh about it together ❤️

If the world keeps spiraling like it is, there is a good chance I put my anxious energy into taming and dressing a squirrel in funny outfits. So, possible?

It works perfectly- it’s the other minds that are lacking.
I think Squanz will like his new name too. (I’m also thinking Squanzie….ayyyyyy 👍 lol)

Squanz!!! lmao
I think the squirrel has a new name now.

A picture of a squirrel arms in front of his body as if he’s flexing put on top of a photo of Hans and Frans from SNL. Hans and Frans are wearing padded sweatshirts and are comically flexing their muscles

That has to be it. He must’ve been telling me, “We want to PUMP. YOU UP!”

A reddish-brown colored squirrel standing up on his hind legs on a wooden bench looking at the camera. The way he is standing makes it look like he is flexing his arm muscles in front of his body.

My squirrel looks like he’s been hitting the gym.

How about demanding someone without a Nazi tattoo. That seems even easier

people need to get over this refusal to associate “law enforcement officers” with terror. it was regular degular sheriff’s deputies smashing people’s heads into the pavement at whipple on saturday

Same lol
