Uline's owners are the 2nd biggest political donors to Trump, so found a non-MAGA alt rec'd on Reddi: EcoEnclose. For shipping boxes for original comic art, so I got EXACTLY the size I wanted. It's half the price once you add in shipping to my house from Uline. EcoEnc $120.32 vs Uline $238.38.

I have solved the mystery of RCV ballots for the mayoral election for anti-Frey voters. You have three rankings. Rank Fateh, Davis, and Koski in the order you want. The end.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

'He was recovering on the ward, and was in good shape. I never expected to have a patient killed in his hospital bed.'

I found this excellent zine at a gift shop nearby that just opened up and it inspired me to start a reference library for my relocation clients, who are increasing in number rapidly. Let me know if you’re aware of other good databases of local info for various types of folks moving here!

My name is Soren Stevenson. I am a renter in the Lyndale neighborhood, a union member, and a survivor of police violence. I’m running for City Council in Ward 8 because my neighbors deserve a kinder, safer Minneapolis. That future isn’t just necessary - it’s within reach.

Some basic facts about trans women: - Our healthcare is older than heart surgery - We have a demonstrated *disadvantage* in sports - We are one of the most economically disenfranchised groups in the US - 1 in 5 have been incarcerated at some point - "debate" about the first two causes the last two
