Minneapolitan. Knitter. Queer. Leftist. Here to poke my head to see what's all the fuss until some nut job takes this one down too. The algorithm sucks. I prefer the fediverse. #BlackLivesMatter #LandBack #Queer #TransLivesMatter #EndCapitalism #ADHD

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Hold on to your light—

That smile, that open heart,
That warmth in your soul
That makes you want to
Sing, dance, connect, create.

Don't let anyone else's hurt stifle that.

I see you.
Be you.
Shine.

For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.

This is for Minneapolis folks.

Can cops come into your yard without asking and search for something they think is there because a suspect was there?

Own a piece of Minneapolis DJ history (per me anyways). I am selling two controllers, a Pioneer DDJ-1000 RB and Pioneer XDJ-RR, which includes a magna case.

I am original owner on both, non-smoking home. No scratches/damage.

Looking for $1000/each, drop me a line and and let's sort it out!

Important read by Akilah Johnson about the increasing rate of premature death in the US, with Black USians disprop. impacted.

The article emphasizes that Black USians are paying into a system (Medicare, Social Security) that many (including family members left behind) will never benefit from.
More people are dying before they turn 65. Who it impacts and what it means.
A new study reveals an increase in premature deaths among 18-to-64-year-olds, with Black adults and certain states disproportionately affected.

The haunting audio in the tweet below reminded me that MPR's replay today of their Nov. 11, 1975 interview with a Great Lakes sailor about what might have happened to the Edmund Fitzgerald the day before is similarly compelling.

When I started this campaign, I made a commitment to myself and to the people of this city that I would run with the values we share: honesty, integrity, transparency and care. I’m proud of the campaign that we’ve run, and I’m so thankful everyone who has held me to those values.
