I’m constantly searching for pants that are colorful! Everything is sad Werner Herzog wear. We don’t have to live like this.

Attention is the last currency we have. If you are sick of the discourse, you don’t have to add to it. “I hate this article!” as it gets passed around, racking up hate-attention clicks. Look at my beautiful grandma baby cow trash panda instead! There is peace in curating for your eyeballs.
In mid-scritching, I hold my dog’s snout to face the camera. She is 13 or 14, walks about a mile a day, and she enjoys rolling around on her back in the yard.

Mayor Frey, City Council President Payne, and Council Member Chughtai:
As members of the Board of Estimate and Taxation, we are tasked with deciding the appropriate increase for the Minneapolis general fund, park board, and other associated property tax levies.
In this decision, our core responsibility is to balance the funding needs of public services with the long-term sustainability of city finances.
With this responsibility in mind, we are writing to express our concern about a pattern of unsustainable and unaccountable spending within the Minneapolis Police Department.
Although department-level spending is beyond the purview of this board, we cannot ignore the broad fiscal impacts of recent MPD cost overruns and its relevance to the levy decision at hand.
MPD overspent its 2025 budget by $20 million and is projected to exceed that overrun in 2026.
Next year's proposed budget attempts to account for this pattern by increasing allocations for overtime and recruitment. However, recent overruns are not isolated to personnel, having occurred in a wide range of cost centers including equipment, advertising, printing, and other areas, which altogether suggests a failure of sound budget management and oversight.
Continued failure will have long-lasting effects: MPD overages have consumed savings from other departments and caused a depletion of our general fund balance, which now threatens the city's AAA bond rating. We understand the necessity of properly accounting for previously unbudgeted overtime and recruitment, but we are concerned that without concerted effort to reign in spending, MPD will continue to exceed its budget and imperil city finances.
As leading city legislators and our elected executive, we ask that you jointly commit to formalizing …

A lighter and a box of Birdie’s infused joints on top of my e-reader. The cover for the e-reader looks like a check out card from the library in the 80’s. Everything is sitting on a dilapidated wooden table, even though we bought it from IKEA a year ago. Piece of shit.

My work task today is sorting and organizing 1400+ photos of native and invasive aquatic plants in MN. In fact, it's pretty fun and the photos are gorgeous. Do you know what this is? Alt text for the answer!
Water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes) is an invasive free-floating plant with clusters of waxy leaves.

Leaves:
Broad, rounded leaves with inflated bases form free-floating rosettes.
Leaves are glossy, and can be up to twelve inches long from base to tip and up to six inches wide.

Flowers:
Showy purple flowers in clusters on a spike held above the plant.
Upper lobe has a darkened spot with a yellow center.

Roots
Long, dark roots dangle below the plant.
Roots are highly divided and feather-like in appearance.
