As my Minneapolis-based daughter asked - did you also live thru as many traumatic events as I have when you were my age? (Teen)

I dealt with them for a MRI. The surgery center and insurance company talked thru them. It was super weird. And guess what? In the end, it wasn’t covered.

Or, I own a small trucking business with vehicles that run exclusively on diesel.

It’s practically radicalized my BiL. He’s yelling at other business diesel-dependent friends to wake up.

still think daily about the time I was at Arby's and the person in front of me asked what the "healthy option" was, and the cashier responded "leaving"

I’ve done it! When you see the process and the cross-checks and regulations, it’s clear that 99% of people screaming about election fraud have no idea how the whole thing actually works.

Have I missed it? Or has this not come up in the media?

I haven’t seen it mentioned that the name Peter Magyar translates to Peter Hungarian in English.

Got a message that ICE is blocking the food distribution building for MPLS public schools so the kids can’t get their breakfasts/lunches.

The issue is that the Feds have all the evidence and witness statements. The state said they can’t put together a robust case without all of that.

A French brand I like that was already a splurge at $160 for a blouse is now $223 for the same shirt.

I was going to say - has no one looked at the new MN flag? We did a good job with it!

Sarah Johns @sarahcjohns.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

Agreed. That was a stellar use of that meme.

Cue the “no one wants to work anymore” chorus about unfilled part-time jobs that usually go to the young because they decide to sell stuff online instead of having more of their paycheck go to taxes.

It is $7 for a bubble tea. Adds up quick!

My teens can’t go to the movies after 7pm unless they’re 18 (thanks AMC!) or sit in a chain restaurant and have a meal even though they have jobs of their own. So, they get takeout and it’s back to the basement. What are they supposed to do?

I'm going to get ahead of some uninformed outrage. The second-degree murder charges against Vance Boelter are all that can be brought against him *right now.* Prosecutors can charge him with first-degree premeditated murder, but that requires a grand jury indictment, not just a criminal complaint.

Reminder that these are people too - in today’s shooting in MN, my kids’ favorite English teacher lost both her parents.

Technically, yes. But it’s disingenuous to put it on her. She was a politician, it was part of a compromise that was reached. She took one for the team, and was very vocal about her unhappiness about it.

Wow. She’s definitely my hero of the day! That’s the kind of move you’d like to think you’re capable of but so very, very few actually are. (And what an amazing community!)

Sarah Johns @sarahcjohns.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

Agreed. Single payer health care? A domestic Peace Corps program like the kind Buttigieg advocated for in 2020? It could all happen in The After.

The choir at my kids’ small high school sang a slow version of Creep and it was surprisingly moving! All those teens were feeling that song.

It’s true and as much as I pledged to ignore rankings completely when my son started looking at colleges, I was happy that he liked College A better than College B because, while incredibly similar, College A is ranked higher (and therefore is $5K/yr more expensive). We’re so conditioned!

Yep, whooping cough has been going around my kids’ very liberal school since early October. Teens of late 2000s “vaccines bad” left-wing parents.

And to think I had more or less forgotten all about Susan Collins…

Am I just easily affected or does anyone else immediately love the new Jeopardy champ if they seem unabashedly thrilled with their win?

The editorial calendar in Minnesota in late Oct/early Nov is Halloween Blizzard of ‘91 to the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. (With elections in between). Kind of reassuring that despite newsroom turnover and slashes and the world glowing red, that will never change.

Hi all! Just signed up. I’m a writer, Minnesotan, mother and social media lurker more than poster, but that will likely (hopefully) change in a less toxic place. Nice to meet you!
