oh hell yeah

In February 2022, 22-year-old Amir Locke was shot and killed during the execution of a no-knock warrant that our mayor had campaigned on banning.

This week, the officer who took his life appeared before the City Council as the police department’s new Health & Wellness lead.

now i’m now listening

this album is so fucking good

I’m not smart but can typically fake it wrt money. Private credit allows a biz to borrow $ from private investors, as opposed to a bank or bonds.

Too many investors want to pull their money out of Blackrock’s fund, so Blackrock is saying “no.” I think it means rich people are nervous.

“we live in a community”

I follow my hash guy on instagram and he always posts these crazy sodas and when I message him to ask if the soda is good he always says, “yes, but it has to be REALLY cold.”

oof!

we did it joe

dog that’s your leadership and legacy too

if you’re at my house it’s influenza b 🙃

I bet @benoney.bsky.social would have fucked heavy with this.

This whole movement in Minnesota has been easier said than done but we still did it and are doing it! How are you going to say things like this with a straight face to people who have spent months running toward danger, facing down men with guns, and being assaulted by federal agents?

last night my 6yo said, “I can’t wait until ICE falls. It’s gotta be within the next ten months or it’s not gonna be pretty.”

??????

great piece that goes way beyond just reporting this stupid ass claim and has some good sanitary sewer insights

“You talk about water quality, what’s happening in our water because of that, those chemical abortions that are coming through there.”

this is infuriating. we fucking live here!!!!

I have gotten pregnant on both a mirena IUD and a nexplanon implant.

After Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans evacuees changed Houston — and Houston changed them | Houston Public Media It’s hard to know how many people made Houston their permanent home after the destruction in Louisiana, but they changed the culture in the Texas city.

I was driving and thinking about the impact the New Orleans evacuees have had on Houston culture. Like Viet Cajun was not really a thing in Houston prior to 2005.

I’m excited to see the cultural impact all our TX transplants (emphasis on the trans) have here. It’s so exciting to imagine.

I wonder if the officer who responded after federal agents had been sitting in the neighborhood for 2+ hours to let everyone know there had been a noise complaint has ptsd from being a fucking embarrassment

like, it all gets real stupid real quick once you start talking like that

this reasoning is what led to texas’ 10% rule after they banned affirmative action where the top 10% of a grad class automatically gets in to UT. They have to have a ton of remedial classes because a lot of kids come in unprepared, and I had to slum it at Carleton because I couldn’t get in to UT

I would never get a good nights sleep again if that were on my conscious but what do I know I’m just a northside normie who would die for my neighbors

northside has done what it’s done the past few months despite our electeds, not because of them.

Northside had 2 council members vote against this and then had a housing forum where they turned off emogi reactions during the zoom call.

someone delivered girl scout cookies to me this weekend in a target bag and apologized profusely for it and said it wasn’t originally her bag. I also later clarified it wasn’t my bag to someone else. No one wants to be associated with them!

Not sure what I believe, but I've got hope in anarchy
Cause, if it's against you, than I know it's the thing for me
Me and all of my friends-we've got everything that we need without you

those anarcho punks are mysterious

“Who gets to be an Aggie, a citizen, a Texan, an American? Is it people like me, women, young people, Black and brown and Latino and Muslim and so on? Or is it people who claim they represent a true, rugged Texan-ness or American-ness that is much smaller in both scope and imagination?”

what an honor! We appreciate and love your reporting and writing.
