What the hell is she thinking?! And is she trying for a party nomination??

Super great that I have theater tickets in Stillwater on Sunday. Ugh.

I also find it odd when powerful people are like, "my most important title is Dad." Like, that's nice to say, but if I am your partner, I'm sacrificing having a meaningful partner around so they can go do something bigger than that. The whole family committed to something else being more important.

This is the freaking NY Post. We are in upsidedown land. Vaccinate your kids. This isn't about parents' rights. This is about children's rights to be valued for themselves and respected and cared for by the whole community.

Wait, what? Like this is an available Lenten Dinner that I didn't know about?! Every Friday, or select Fridays??? (Are these the questions you have as well?)

Giant parsnip on scale reading 2lbs 1.8oz.

Gnarly dirty giant parsnip held up in front of the brown, unplanted spring garden. (In Minnesota, where we can maybe get away with planting radishes soon, but morning else is going in that plot for awhile).

Hey Internet! Look at this huge parsnip I just pulled from the garden! 🌱🧑🏼‍🌾🪏

I want to teach this class so badly. Specifically in high schools in suburbs with Metro Micro. Every 15 year old in Woodbury should be learning how to do this, then teaching their parents. It should be part of Home Ec or Financial Literacy or something.

The Gold Line extension to Minneapolis cannot possibly happen soon enough. I can't believe they only are getting around to the useful part because they had a few extra dollars left over. Sigh. 🚌

My daughter reported that the ICE presence outside her school during recess last week involved ICE officers sitting IN AN ICE CREAM TRUCK. And this wasn't kids misinterpreting. We had an email from the school the day it happened; we just didn't get the ice cream detail in the email.

Anyone here write in Farsi? I'd love some help translating for bilingual protest signs. (I have enough background in Arabic script, so I don't need someone to physically write it; just translate).

Merchant of Venice, featuring a bunch of antisemites attacking one Jew while accepting the pretty Jewish fiance was written 425 years ago. Tale as old as time.

Omg. We just bought a washer/dryer, and finding one without surveillance technology was a nightmare. Needless to say, we found one used.

If I had to guess it hinges on officer safety, given that the rest of American cars are also massive. Our "public safety" organizations actively participating in car bloat.

How much state violence could be prevented if most law enforcement in the United States drove Ford Focuses or similar? The asshole employment applications would decrease by like, 75%. Also, pink uniforms. These are the inexpensive interventions we need.

Brown skirt with gold trim.

I have been working on a Halloween costume of this painting on and off for two years. It's such a cool thing to have in our community. (Here's my skirt!)

Kid in Klingon makeup. Including a forehead prosthetic.

Omg. Seriously. I keep telling my family we need to boycott, but until we find a thrift store with a vcr and a full set of Star Trek tapes, I just don't think it's happening! This child can't do without!

Everything is terrible, but there is good news: celery seeds should be started now (or two weeks ago). You can't touch grass yet, but you can touch potting soil. 🧑🏼‍🌾🌱

We went to the Eagles for the first time recently and I loved it, but wtf with the McCarthy pledge? Does anyone know if that organization is looking to walk that back?

Done. Thanks for being an organizer.

Yeah. Wake up at seven, and run 1/2 mile at a time for a couple hours starting at 8am. Break for a couple tacos, 2 Miller Highlifes and a short nap. Repeat. Now it's 1:00. If you are slow, you are half done running, and 1/6ish thorough your beers and your allotted time. Cleaning this up is so easy.

What in the hell is going on with the helicopters in Saint Paul right now? Some of them just hovering?

I snapped a NiteBite in two last month. Better a busted dental device than a busted tooth.

What email did you use? I am going to my very first game next week, and I'd like to tell them it will be my last, and my child's last as well.

I have tickets to the Wild game next week. Luckily, it is because I'm taking my mom, a Lightning fan, so we don't have to cheer for these guys who are public fascists.

I truly don't understand how that was not the plan. 1/4 of them should have left at 5 minutes. Then 1/4 at 10. Continue to 20 minutes. Could do 10 minute or 15 minute intervals also. Flexible within a couple minutes to choose a good line to leave on.

Did you see Justice Kagan? Absolute daggers.

Yup.

This is one of the more revolutionary bills I've seen. I wonder if we'll see a Senate introduction. #MNLeg www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/94/202...

I regularly shop at the Phalen Aldi and the one on University. Those are both areas where people make similar complaints about crimes impacting business models and Aldi seems to be doing just fine in those places. I think it'll be a great fit for downtown.

Omg. This is such good news. We really needed a win like this!
