Aw. My wife and I had our first date at French Meadow after meeting on a dating site (in 2007!). I had the vegan reuben & she though I didn't like her because I disliked all the movies & books she mentioned (just trying to show that I had my own opinions!). Fortunately, she gave me another chance.

Skipping this ballot question is equivalent to a NO vote. PLEASE vote YES! It will cost taxpayers NOTHING to increase school funding, and do nothing to the state budget. Please read! voteyesmnstudents.org

My neighborhood mutual aid is raising $4000 to pay the legal fees of a neighbor facing deportation. So far they’ve raised $2200. Just $1800 to go! (They’re using our neighborhood GFM to collect the money—the total shown reflects all the money we raised last winter) www.gofundme.com/f/aid-for-re...

When I say suffer, I don’t mean mild inconvenience. I mean suffer. It’s not simple when you’re faced with a real life situation where your ideology clashes with the literal safety of your child.

I’ve been off of here most of today because I don’t need to get my feelings hurt by people who don’t care to understand what we went through. Before I had a kid, I had ideologically pure ideas about how we would support MPS, but what they put our kid and our family through gave us truly no choice.

I’m never going to stop laughing about the visitor from Vermont who introduced himself and asked me my age (45) while we were watching fire dancers on the Greenway tonight. He was shocked and delighted that so many grown adults come out to events like this here! 😂

Sucks that the Univ of Minnesota libraries are closed to the public. If the past several years have taught us anything, it’s that knowledge is necessary to fighting stupid bad fascists. So here’s a helpful doc on how to assist good U people who want knowledge freed: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Really showing my age by belting out the lyrics to Phil Collins’ 1985 hit “One More Night” during the cooldown in Zumba class. Hadn’t thought of that song in decades, but the lyrics were deep within me.

A couple years ago, I needed to see a dietitian for some health stuff & 3 sessions in with one, I realized nothing she said made sense so I looked into her and figured out she's a Weston Price person! The latest @maintenancephase.bsky.social bonus episode about these people is truly bringing me joy.

I know most of my fellow Minneapolis residents (and the broader metro and state) will feel this viscerally. Our histories and context are different, but this response to violence against neighbors is so important. There’s a gofundme down the thread.

hey fyi, that thing we keep calling "food noise" was called "food preoccupation" in the research literature for a long time, and though it can come up for other reasons, the most common reason is someone's not eating enough in the first place so ummm, something to consider
