Are there any Seward co-op owners here that have thoughts about the Board of Directors candidates? They all sound pretty good, but it’s really hard to tell. I’m a little bit disappointed that there’s only one person of color running. Feel free to DM if you’d prefer!

This pulls together a lot of thoughts and hunches I have about LLMs. Might a bit insider baseball for folks not in the prod/dev/ux world, but you should read it anyway because it's great. Plus there's links to other excellent articles & I'm quoted it in it (sneaking in a lil' self-promo here 😉)

Their system is a little janky and requires you to provide your full name and contact info, but please register a complaint anyway. This is MASSIVE TERF dog whistling behavior and has no place in a MINNEAPOLIS news outfit

What if we raised some funds for Ashley while she’s in the hospital? Between the house stuff and the ambulance ride, I know some financial support could go a long way for Ashley and her family. Let’s put a 👑 in the memo and I can forward funds to Ashley: V: colocha_rachel $: ColochaRachel

All I can say about this is a) I have watched way too many shows (more than half of these), b) it’s disgusting to see Louie ranked way higher than Better Things & c) Survival of the Thickest needs to be on here. Se 3 ep 5 is one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking episodes of tv I’ve ever seen.

Anyone have recent info about names/gender markers on trans folks‘ passport renewals? There was a lot of news around this when EOs came thru last yr & I remember a few well-known trans ppl were impacted (Hunter Schaeffer, maybe?), but I’m trying to find out if there’s been a discernible pattern.

What people getting pissed at trans and other queer folks who refuse to vote for candidates who cave on trans issues seem to be ignoring is that we have continuously voted for these Democrats and we’ve still lost these all these rights we literally had to fight cops to even have in the first place.

A rushed and reckless plan to close 17 schools is the last thing our district needs right now. Our children are our everything, and they deserve a district that takes its time, engages with families, and builds a plan actually rooted in the needs of our community: not this.

It's wild to see how the politics and policy of public schools makes otherwise reasonable liberal and progressive people betray their philosophical beliefs in this one area. Makes you understand how the right has used people's fears about their kids for anti-LGBTQ and anti-public health goals.
