Instructive read. It’s amazing how many billions of dollars we’ve wasted over the last 250 years so white people can feel like they are self-sufficient and superior.

Town Hall Tap brings the kids meal first, even when you forget to ask. This is my new favorite place to eat.

I enjoyed the RS piece on Choosin’ Texas and I know the author—Marissa Moss—has been a champion for female country artists. Sometimes I pine for the pre-internet days, when a writer could offer constructive criticism of our culture and the audience would listen, reflect and then respond.

Is 5th graders saying “good vibes” and singing Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys a thing everywhere, or just at the school I was visiting today?

Out family biked from our home in NE Minneapolis to the Minneapolis Monarch Festival this morning and—except for the four blocks from our house to the Minneapolis Diagonal Trail—the whole ride was on protected bike lanes and trails. That’s pretty cool.

This weekend was the first Labor Day weekend I wasn’t either working at the state fair or traveling since I moved to Minnesota in 2012. I never realized how quiet everything is and I like it.

We took the 3-year-old to the State Fair Thursday morning and as soon as she heard the live music coming from the stage at the DNR park she sprinted to the dance floor in front of the stage, took off her shoes and socks and danced until the set ended 40 minutes later.

Not surprised to see the South represented in my dialect, but definitely surprised to see Mississippi represented—my southern roots are SE Tennessee and SW Missouri.
Map of the United States showing dialect pattern, with Minneapolis, MN, Stockton, CA, and Jackson, MS highlighted as cities with dialect similar to my own.

Was really hoping Bone Thugs and Harmony would be the opener, but this should be a good show still. I’m excited to finally see a show at the Mystic Lake Amphitheater tonight.

Our 3-year-old has been obsessed with seeing pictures of herself when she was a baby lately and has found much joy in discovering that—no matter how we swaddled her—she always found a way to get her arms out of the swaddle so every pic of her in the bassinet show her tiny hands next to her face. 😍

So all of those allergy immunotherapy treatments I received from 2021-2023 seem to have lost their efficacy this summer and ragweed is murdering me every time I step outdoors. Should I move my family to the desert, Y/y?

At daycare pickup out 3-year-old said she didn’t want me to ride on the bike with her because “dad isn’t good at biking.” 🤷🏻‍♂️

Then Jesus addressed his disciples, “verily I say unto you, conservative evangelicals in 21st century America should ignore everything I’ve ever said and instead cherry-pick from the Old Testament to form a theocracy.”

It turns out parenting a toddler is hard 🙁 I still stand by my theory that you can’t trust anyone who has more than one child, because anyone who went through the first 3 years raising a child and decided to do it again clearly lacks judgement 😀

I’m firmly behind an AOC/Buttigieg ticket. They could announce the day after this year’s midterms, and save a lot of Dem energy for the 2028 general election

I’m usually not one for Americanos, but with the cooler temps this week I’ve found myself drinking a decaf Americano (NoCaf Espreseo, Up Coffee) after putting the child to bed a couple of times. They have really hit the spot.

Stopped in for a beer because of the Fuck ICE flag, stayed for two because the bartender was awesome. If you ever find yourself in downtown SLC wanting a drink, Johnny’s on Second is legit.

Gas prices and inflation rates won’t be dropping anytime soon, so instead of buying that minivan we’ve been eyeing our family added a second electric cargo bike to our home this weekend.
