KC @kcmpls.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Don’t people under the age of 40 know what I mean when I say “they taught themselves to code and got hired to do Y2K stuff?” I just found myself saying it and realized young people might not realize how big a deal the Y2K was and how so many art majors became software developers. 030

KC @kcmpls.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Working at Hennepin County around 2002 we would get $5 Guthrie tickets, which was all I could afford. I had friends working at the MN Orchestra who gave me free tickets there. Now that I have more money, I support these places and others. Free tickets are the gateway drug to subscription packages. 181

Reposted by KC it’s me AC @wellgoshacs.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I’m sorry but I absolutely judge you if you send your kids to charter schools instead of MPS. Charters only test better because they get to kick out whatever kids they deem unfit. They’re racist & ableist & classist and worse for children in every way. 45710

There's other reasons it was a bad street to make the blvd, but that's a big one. If they want anyone to use it, the Cedar/40th intersection needs a real traffic signal. 052
