I'm struggling to find either conversation but whoever recommended coffee filters as a stand-in for newspaper when it comes to washing mirrors and windows, thank you! Also: I got that sunscreen and moisturizer (biore uv Aqua Rich) lookitup.baby recommended and my skin did not completely rebel!!

It really was! In the small town where I first did that job, we still had ultra dusty liquor from the 1960s (schnapps and vermouth mostly) in the basement at the pharmacy, because they were selling liquor up through the 1970s!

Hmmm what kind of support would be helpful so you can get that done? I pledge some cat pics

An ancient photo of me peering into a metal mailbox; there's a sticker that says "E" because that's the apartment number, and below that the mailbox has the word "Mail" embossed on it. I have short bright orange hair and a lot of piercings.

This is how we used to check email in 2005.

It's all fun and games, splitting the duties that the finch app gives you during the spring cleaning challenges, until you realize that the floor-to-ceiling mirrored doors are in your territory.

I don't know how it works in Minnesota, but in Wisconsin that is how they got around the liquor licensing laws. But to we had to prescription label every can in a six pack, for example. Then they could dispense it as medication.

Good! They should have counted the owls on the lights, they could have had the right number all along!

When I was a pharmacy technician doing long-term care meds, every once in a while we would get a prescription for beer or a small bottle of brandy, because the only way they could have alcohol was by prescription! It was literally my job to buy alcohol underage, a couple times!

Frey vetoes eviction notice extensions while Fateh co-authors $40 million rental assistance. We could’ve had a good mayor.

That really is the core of it. Paternalism and an insistence that they know better than the people they claim to help, and an insistence that their way is the only way, having tried nothing else. They are really invested in keeping all the money within their in-group.

Amazing. On a scale of 1 to 10. How satisfied are you?

(I found another similarly sized handmade basket from another part of Minnesota at savers last year for five bucks, which almost felt like a crime. I love that both of my baskets have the Maker's name and address on them!)

I have two really nice handmade baskets, the first we bought at a flea market on our honeymoon almost 20 years ago and it's still perfect. It's a rotating, lazy susan basket that I use for my most used hand cream / skin care/ tweezers etc.

It's really sad to me that there aren't any basic woodworking or home repair classes in North, I would be interested in woodworking classes! What I really want to do, though, is try stained glass, or a lapidary class, but we will never see that up here.

I really do wish I could swing that basket weaving class though, I don't have any sturdy baskets with handles and I need one!

I looked at the community education catalog for North and there is exactly one thing I really want to do in the whole thing, and I can actually walk to it, but it's $100. I'm not even letting myself look at the variety the rest of Minneapolis gets. I know it will just make me angry.

In case you wondered, intersectionality is important.

Shifting rapid response observation to law enforcement observation where relevant matters in every city.

I don't know a ton of it, I only know the parts of it I brushed up against and got harassed by and got pushback from when my main focus and full time volunteering job was encampment support.

These orgs are not equipped to meet the moment, and what's worse is that they really don't want to, and they resent the populations they are supposed to help.

I'm old enough to remember when they built that indoor village for Avivo and they let it sit empty for months and months while people were sleeping outside in the winter.

His office consolidated power after 2020 and has used to veto literally every protective measure and good policy out forward by the council that previously would have been able to pass without him. Jacob Frey takes pleasure in destroying the lives of unhoused neighbors and protecting elites.

This is Frey’s entire plan to deal with the massive housing crisis his veto is about to cause.

I haven't bought Angel Soft toilet paper since 2011 because of the shit the Koch brothers did in WI. I'll do what I want.
