"Sorry, Ted. The Company is afraid that if we give employees time off every time something like this happens, it will only encourage more people to die."

Yeah, they're still here.

And yeah it's super fucking annoying, especially since it exists in the "helicopter" band of noise that I've become hyperattuned to since 2020 for some reason

Wtf, I think I do hear this. Thought it was coming from another direction, but my house has weird acoustics so maybe?

"I didn't vote, therefore I can never be held responsible for anything a politician does." What a fucking spineless position.

None of these idiots even knew what the state flag looked like two years ago because it was a shitty, bad design.

Looks like they have a ton of artists. I just submitted a request for an appointment, will see how it goes!

Just looking to get a couple basic - but custom - tattoos. Willing to consider an apprentice if they can handle some straight lines. My arms get beat to shit at work anyway, this ain't the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

Can anyone recommend a local (Twin Cities) tattoo shop that is on the right side of things, does decent work, but doesn't have a monthslong waiting list and doesn't require an Instagram account? Bonus points if they're easy to get to from south Minneapolis.

Lots of awesome designs here, but I especially love that ladyslipper!

Thanks for the enabling!

My brain is cortisol soup and I can't concentrate on shit. I should buy more books, right?

Well, she is! It's not a value judgment, just a statement of fact.

A while ago I asked a friend who has been involved in campaigns, and he said that some of these are sent and read by real people! So there's hope!

Needed to read this, I've been a fucking disaster.

We are genuinely going to be obnoxious like this forever, I'm so excited

You have 1 hour and 5 minutes more patience than I do!

Fuck ICE, and it wouldn't surprise me, but *everyone* drives way too fast and aggressive through this particular area. I saw a fucking Metro Transit bus honk at a pedestrian for crossing in front of them!

Tropes & Trifles has them too! (or did a couple weeks ago, anyway)

She has to think about it for a while first, that's a long way to go just for a photo op

But one thing was clear:

Despite the drawdown, ICE is still here. They’re stalking legal observers in our communities, at times doing so with no regard for traffic laws or safety.

I find out next week whether I also fall into this category. Sad

At nine months? No, that's not a pile of tissue.

So insulting.

I came across a woman who was identified only as "Mrs. John Smith" *in her own obituary* and I am still mad about it.

That's so frustrating.

That is rough. Were you able to find another insurer?
