Our 8yo tonight: “What is that car called that looks like a dumpster?” Me: “cybertruck?” 8yo: “Yeah, do you think the people who designed the cybertruck were trying to make it look like a dumpster? Or… what were they trying to make it look like?” Me: ☺️ “Good question, I do not know.”

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

With 3 of 6 bike bridges set to be closed simultaneously this summer, + the completion of Hennepin/1st bikeways on the east side of the river, there’s never been a better time for the County to plop down some jersey barriers to protect riders in the dangerous Hennepin/1st bridge bike lanes!

This has been reported over and over again for the Maine governor’s reaction, which is brave as shit, but why were the other dem governors silent? Was Prtizker there? Shapiro? Walz? Why didn’t they stand and start some shit?? Why does everyone stay silent????

WONDERLAND! Inspired by David I've set about working on a little thread. In the meantime, please enjoy this night view of the 120' high light tower that once stood in the alley behind today's E Lake Street Walgreens. Its 7000 lights could be seen from 5 miles away.

Dear @smith.senate.gov, as a parting gift to your grateful constituents, please prevent the funding for @mndot.bsky.social and the @fhwa.bsky.social to rebuild I-94 between #Minneapolis and #SaintPaul. Our communities suffer terrible economic and health impacts. Bring us transit and trees instead.

Every time a study like this comes out, which is fairly regularly, it’s yet another indictment on @mndot.bsky.social’s weird behavior around @ourstreetsmn.org’s Twin Cities Boulevard.

A depressing reality is that so many of our communities are designed in a way that it's not safe for kids to just be kids.

I didn’t realize Bridge Number 9 is closed this summer for renovation. Having Stone Arch and Bridge Number 9 closed at the same time really sucks!

Why are we letting them frame it as “laid off?” If you get laid off in the private sector, you get a letter that says it was no fault of your own (making it easier to get jobs in the future or unemployment), and also a severance check which is often months of pay. Without that you’re just fired.

Still sick (but better than yesterday). I made this sourdough and wild rice soup, though. Maybe I’ll feel better after eating them.
