My daughter reported that the ICE presence outside her school during recess last week involved ICE officers sitting IN AN ICE CREAM TRUCK. And this wasn't kids misinterpreting. We had an email from the school the day it happened; we just didn't get the ice cream detail in the email.
Anyone here write in Farsi? I'd love some help translating for bilingual protest signs. (I have enough background in Arabic script, so I don't need someone to physically write it; just translate).
Merchant of Venice, featuring a bunch of antisemites attacking one Jew while accepting the pretty Jewish fiance was written 425 years ago. Tale as old as time.
Omg. We just bought a washer/dryer, and finding one without surveillance technology was a nightmare. Needless to say, we found one used.
If I had to guess it hinges on officer safety, given that the rest of American cars are also massive. Our "public safety" organizations actively participating in car bloat.
How much state violence could be prevented if most law enforcement in the United States drove Ford Focuses or similar? The asshole employment applications would decrease by like, 75%. Also, pink uniforms. These are the inexpensive interventions we need.
Brown skirt with gold trim.
I have been working on a Halloween costume of this painting on and off for two years. It's such a cool thing to have in our community. (Here's my skirt!)
Kid in Klingon makeup. Including a forehead prosthetic.
Omg. Seriously. I keep telling my family we need to boycott, but until we find a thrift store with a vcr and a full set of Star Trek tapes, I just don't think it's happening! This child can't do without!
Everything is terrible, but there is good news: celery seeds should be started now (or two weeks ago). You can't touch grass yet, but you can touch potting soil. 🧑🏼🌾🌱
We went to the Eagles for the first time recently and I loved it, but wtf with the McCarthy pledge? Does anyone know if that organization is looking to walk that back?
Done. Thanks for being an organizer.
Yeah. Wake up at seven, and run 1/2 mile at a time for a couple hours starting at 8am. Break for a couple tacos, 2 Miller Highlifes and a short nap. Repeat. Now it's 1:00. If you are slow, you are half done running, and 1/6ish thorough your beers and your allotted time. Cleaning this up is so easy.
What in the hell is going on with the helicopters in Saint Paul right now? Some of them just hovering?
I snapped a NiteBite in two last month. Better a busted dental device than a busted tooth.
What email did you use? I am going to my very first game next week, and I'd like to tell them it will be my last, and my child's last as well.
I have tickets to the Wild game next week. Luckily, it is because I'm taking my mom, a Lightning fan, so we don't have to cheer for these guys who are public fascists.
I truly don't understand how that was not the plan. 1/4 of them should have left at 5 minutes. Then 1/4 at 10. Continue to 20 minutes. Could do 10 minute or 15 minute intervals also. Flexible within a couple minutes to choose a good line to leave on.
Did you see Justice Kagan? Absolute daggers.
Yup.
This is one of the more revolutionary bills I've seen. I wonder if we'll see a Senate introduction. #MNLeg www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/94/202...
I regularly shop at the Phalen Aldi and the one on University. Those are both areas where people make similar complaints about crimes impacting business models and Aldi seems to be doing just fine in those places. I think it'll be a great fit for downtown.
Omg. This is such good news. We really needed a win like this!
Where are they saying these things?!? They must be saying them...in writing?
Hard agree.
I'm not necessarily looking for another extracurricular with rehearsals (though she loves a protest angle). She hasn't been exposed to organic singing in community like you get at church. I suppose I can take my 11 year old to beer choir regularly...
Squirrel moment: Do Presbyterians sing? I am recovering Catholic (atheist) who doesn't sing. My daughter is learning to sing and I'm thinking of taking her to church. MN Lutherans are the GOATs, but if I could find a pretty good music church with a better ideological match, that would be best
Do you share YOUR makes? (My favorite thing about bluesky is the makes!)
I love this so much and am very sorry I missed it. What are the odds they are on bluesky and will share their makes?
Whole fried fish sitting on some crumpled aluminum foil. Big ole tamale. Styrofoam container with rice and salad. Plastic fork.
This is the least of our problems, but I'm just realizing the Hispanic church a block away that just finished their kitchen reno two years ago isn't doing a Lenten dinner this year. THEIR DINNER FEATURED A WHOLE FRIED FISH AND TAMALES. I am a Lenten dinner connoisseur, and this was the best. 🚫🧊
I saw an article that citizens raised "tens of thousands of dollars" for rent for neighbors and wondered if they just added up numbers from like, four people they talked to.
