I tried to volunteer at Joyce Uptown Food Shelf months ago, but they were overflowing with volunteers. They now have open shifts in September and October, in case anyone is looking for volunteer opportunities

And the airport is so close to the city here. We need this. No one is trekking out to Denver’s airport for a hang

Two of the turkeys in my neighborhood are an absolute menace. Yesterday a person ran across the street in front of my car to get away from them. The turkeys walked in front of me to stop me and then came to my open window to start some shit. I love them.

I’m suspect of Peachey’s donuts. Those Florida folks aren’t Amish.

The seed art at the State Fair is cool, but the scarecrows are unhinged and perfect

I’ve found Qobuz recommendations to be way more useful than Spotify. And feels slightly less likely that I’m being fed payola.

A love letter to Minneapolis bike infrastructure from a nerdy sounding city planner? This is my new hype video before tennis matches

Ok intrigued by both of these for next year. Do you find the seeds locally?

100% accurate appraisal of "The Nerd Reich." My own review (and Gil on Techtonic) coming soon.

My neighbor died, and she left a beautiful garden. It feels vibrant and intentionally wild and invites you to explore. It stops people in the street. Now her friends come by and tend to it in her absence. Makes me a little weepy every time I see it. Here’s to tending to each other’s gardens.

I use it as an opportunity to decide whether I want a donut or not.

Eaux Claires was a fun, lowkey festival. And I really dug this giant glass of milk

One of the neighbor families we supported through the winter/spring fed occupation just had 2 more family members taken by ICE on Tuesday. They're working to raise $ to try to get them out and their sweet 7yo is selling lemonade on the sidewalk right now. 💔 If you want to donate, DM me.

I gave some dollars to KFAI and the DJ delivered handmade kardemummabullar to my house. Minneapolis and Saint Paul are rad.

I’m fairly certain “straight cash, homie” is one of 10 phrases that I’ll have on repeat when everything starts to go

Thank you for confirming this. Also, my son merges “woof” and “Ufda” to “woofda” and it’s a major upgrade to an expression I otherwise hear only in jest.

The merlin that lives on my block has really turned me into a bird guy. Remember just how much influence you have with your shrill, frantic voice.

Book It! is back but with an app instead a pin and the gold star stickers? This is a step too far, tech.

Saw a Waymo in South Minneapolis today. I have a sneaking suspicion these are going to get covered in deli meat.

Agreed. Same applies for the Room & Board Outlet. These bones aren’t throwing themselves on a discounted loveseat first thing in the morning.

I’m now ready to face some under-the-breath muttering from a flushed face dude in a company polo shirt at the airport bar.
