beautiful day for football in Minneapolis #GoBlue
sun is shining on the Gopher football stadium, with the Michigan block M flag waving from the field. Go Blue!

The article notes that Makary drew “strong applause” for saying “The real battle is not between left versus right. It’s between people who are lying to you and people who are trying to tell you the truth.” But that’s NOT true: The destruction of public health is a right-wing project.

I got a bunch of tattoos and have a few more planned. I wear whatever I feel like wearing, which of late means a lot of fun t-shirts with jeans and bright sneakers. Finally got over my fears and tried out/got on Jeopardy!, I wasn't ready to go out on that limb in my 20s or 30s.

accurate (Michigan kid who's lived in MPLS for a long time), and also kinda funny because I lived in ATL for 5 years and "y'all talk funny" was one of the first things I heard when I moved there 🙃
dialect heat map of the US with red areas concentrated around Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, and blue areas concentrated around the southern USTop three most similar dialect cities: Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Seattle. Top three least similar dialect cities: New Orleans, Houston, Atlanta. Things that gave me away as being from Michigan: the night before Halloween is devil's night, rubber soled athletic shoes are guy shoes, sweetened carbonated beverage is pop, and the water dispenser at school is a drinking fountain

I liked your suggestion too but fact is, I'll recommend Nightingale to anyone, for any reason 😄

Nightingale! They're open every day and if you are a consumer of alcohol, their Monday special is half-price bottles of wine

Walker Jenkins hit his first career homer off a position player. Jenkins pulled a blazing 37 mph Zach McKinstry pitch down the right-field line for a two-run blast.

Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art
A localized version of Guernica with a loon at the center and a person holding an ICE OUT sign 

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”

I skipped "stayed a while" and counted anywhere I've vacationed as "visited" because those trips were all a week or less
A map of the United States that shows: States I've lived in in dark blue (5: Ohio, Michigan, Georgia, Iowa, Minnesota), states I've visited in aqua (27: Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, DC, North Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Nebraska, North Dakota, Idaho, Washington, California, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Utah), states I've passed through (4: New Hampshire, West Virginia, Virginia, South Carolina), and states I've never been (15: Oregon, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware).

Rolling out “academic freedom” as a rallying cry now, after the CRT panic led to a bunch of Black scholars and theory to be literally banned from classrooms, shit is too rich lol

Jennifer Linde @jensprite.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
Dense urban corridors are for housing, parks, efficient transit, thriving businesses, walking and biking trails, cafes and restaurants, and places to live and breathe and be, not energy-sucking noisy space fillers that give nothing back to the community. Yeah, I'll NIMBY the shit out of this
