@stellastumble.bsky.social 👋

Don't let the door hit ya now.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Friendly reminder that #ChappellRoan, possibly the world's 2nd most well-known singer in the Gen Z community, refused to endorse a presidential candidate in 2024, saying repeatedly "There’s problems on both sides” and "Use your critical thinking skills."

Friendly reminder to freeze your credit with all 3 bureaus if you haven't already.

Someone in a meeting just said "We're less than 10 days into the Trump administration" and I felt myself turn to dust

Tear 'em up, Tina.

Neighborhood journalism once again teaching us the importance of prioritizing a message through bad example. #Northeaster #NEMpls

The American people are looking for some reassurance that the decisions they make about abortion are personal and private. It’s hard for me to respect people who won’t give me a straight answer.

Misheard, family version: "I like her. She's dope as hell." "... She's Dev Patel?"

We are not going to do the fascists’ work for them.

I'm sure all the #Minneapolis pearl clutchers pissed about the renaming of Bde Mka Ska a few years ago are just as mad about renaming Denali and the Gulf of Mexico.

What can you do in the face of insurmountable terribleness? Support companies like #Costco that aren't bowing to tyrannical whims.

I just called tater tots "hashtags," and anyway happy Friday to everyone else whose brain is one big tater tot.

Minneapolis never fails to delight. #Ford #Taurus

Anxiety: bouncing back and forth through all the apps you said you'd quit but it's where people are conferring and agreeing that, yes, that did happen, you're not overreacting, and there are still people in the world who think that's wrong.

*long shuddering sigh*

Talk about whiplash. #46to47 @startribune.com

I just brought a whiny toddler to a coffee shop for a quick coffee & pumpkin bread (ref: whining). The barista tried to give me the bread for free but I was too addled to get it and was like "oh actually the total is $4 short" anyway happy 1st day of a long weekend to the toddler parents out there.

#NEMinneapolis #SD60 residents, please get out and vote in tomorrow's (Tuesday's) special election primary! www.sos.state.mn.us/election-adm...

Happy "yeet the child back to daycare" to all who celebrate.

Spouse: "well now I know that the noise you make when you find out one of your friends is pregnant is the same sound you make when you get your wordle starter word."

I do enjoy a good decade-old wax patina. Shows character. Shows where we've been. #hanukkah #christmukkah

"Say mom, could you pick up challah for our xmas dinner?" said the atheists. #christmukkah

Spiritually, I'm not ready for 1995 to be 30 years ago.

IYKYK. #NEmpls

So the most recent (& penultimate) episode of #StarTrek #LowerDecks is one of the best episodes of all Trek ever and it's hard to just, be regular about it???!

"If you eat that chicken nugget we'll get you the allen wrench." # toddler negotiation tactics

For a real challenge: Whamageddon but it's that Mariah Carey song

Oh god what fresh hell is this. -any time I get a news notification these days

Okay but now I'm curious about the crocs.

Man, if there's one thing I and probably many others give negative 11,000 shits about this year it's black friday.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?

@jkruzit.bsky.social *gasp* I am also a carmex addict! #friends

TIL that if you want like 800 new Bluesky followers you just 1) mention cats & bikes in your profile and 2) know @patiomensch.bsky.social. #notmad

Today it hit me that "everything everywhere all at once" is actually just a toddler

"The next 4 years are going to be about balancing... Pavlov's...pyramid of whistles, or whatever it's called." -My spouse, who's as traumatized as the rest of us
