In semi positive life news, I am going to be finishing out some credits to hopefully finish out my degree in the future.

Reynolds has done the political equivalent of upper decking every toilet at her workplace before tendering her resignation.

I don't know if there is an ideal time to start making pizza crust, so I picked now.

For those of you who wear makeup, what was the way you first learned how to do it? As someone who doesn't, I am intrigued how this knowledge is picked up.

Sheriffs in Iowa are elected (and police chiefs are appointed by elected officials). Neither are obligated under current state law to sign agreements with ICE. I would encourage you to reach out to your local electeds about their ICE policies.

How you interpret your faith is very much a choice. If you are choosing to interpret it in a way that is discriminatory, exclusionary, and to the benefit of the haves rather than the have nots, I think it is worth exploring why that is the case.

The people who claim barista is an entry level position and people should get a better job are the same people who complain that nobody wants to work anymore when their local coffee shop is short-staffed.

Bari Weiss should've just let the 60 Minutes segment run for her sake. Now that it has been leaked after being pulled for clearly political reasons, more people will see the expose than would have had it just aired normally.

If Jake Paul and Andrew Tate didn't want to get punched, they shouldn't have been wearing such punchable faces.

They should make fruit snacks that taste like vitamin gummies, because I would totally crush a container of them.

Community colleges in Iowa aren't controlled by the far right captured Iowa Board of Regents, instead they are controlled by elected local boards. You can choose who sits on your local board, you can also run for your local board.

Otis literally showed up to a recording studio, sang two songs and was given a record contract on the spot.

1/Disabled folks are one of the last groups in the US to not have marriage equality. If I was to get married, despite still having a congenital heart condition and all the costs that entails, I'd be in danger of losing access to Medicare and disability insurance because of how income is calculated.

This sucks, especially given that Waterloo has a relatively large Black population compared to the rest of Iowa. Chicago is a barely veiled dog whistle.

Maybe the Iowa Department of Administrative Services, or the state in general, shouldn't get to decide what religions are allowed at the Capitol?

When I was transferring out of Nashville on Saturday there was a lady sitting on a blanket on the floor near one of the vending machines changing the diaper on a doll. Sometimes not knowing and walking away is the right call.

It is fascinating how few people vote/run for their local community college board, given that it has the authority to help set tuition rates.

This was my first election cycle in 3 years where I wasn't directly working for any of the candidates on the ballot. Honestly, super relaxing, do the rest of you just live like this all the time?

Around 270k Iowans are on SNAP. Kim Reynolds' proposed $1M in aid comes out to around $3.71 per person.

1/UPDATE- The Des Moines City Council has a special session on October 8th at 4:30 pm where they will be holding a 2nd reading/vote on the proposed amendment to the camping ordinance.

Tim Nelson @timothymnel.bsky.social · 02/10/2025

Councilman Coleman last year claimed the ordinance wasn't about criminalizing homelessness. Now he is claiming that law enforcement is facing potential legal liabilities. This whole process has been deceptive and very little of it has been thought out.
