Do you ever find yourself thinking, “Man, I wish I could read about beer, but I’ll die if I go that long without gay ennui”? Well, I’m the Minneapolis-based beer writer for you.
Am I the best beer writer? No. Am I better than the beer writers for the Strib? Yes. Am I gay? Also yes. Duh. See above.

Cocaine has gotten a pretty bad rap given that having “cocaine money” seems like a far more reliable indicator that you’re a shitty person.

I’ve been getting lots of nexplanon ads on social media.
First off, I’m gay. I am not the target audience. But second, I actually love this strange genre of short form video that implies “she wants it raw” but with nothing more than longing looks and embraces.

Running a home server is a masochistic enterprise. Don’t let anyone tell you different.

They say you can’t take baths when you have a new tattoo. But you can if you commit to keeping it out of the water and being slightly uncomfortable the entire time. This obviously doesn’t work well for tramp stamps, though.

I cannot articulate how inconsiderate it is for someone to host a party/event (especially indoors) when they know they're sick. Holy cow. Have we learned nothing?

I committed the cardinal sin of falling into deep sleep during a midday nap, and now I’m awake and my brain has turned into molasses.

Shitpost response: This just in, having boobs makes you a better person (sorry guys).
What do Paris, Montreal, Barcelona and Brussels have in common?

One of the interesting things about GLP-1s for someone like me who ate as a form of self-soothing, is that they force you to meet that need in other ways. I *can't* eat my emotions on GLP-1s. When I do, it makes me feel *worse.*
It was really frustrating at first, but ultimately really helpful.

Minnesota friends, do you—or anyone you know—work in the brewing industry and want to talk about the realities of operating a brewery in 2026? Like, nitty gritty?

Every donation link, every GoFundMe for rent support etc., is—in reality—a fundraiser to make sure parasitic landlords with no moral compass can keep extracting wealth from vulnerable people.
We have to do it, and it’s great we are. But, it doesn’t change the fact it’s immoral and deeply fucked up.

Volunteer groups have raised thousands of dollars so that families in Minneapolis who are out of work due to fear of being harassed or abducted by ICE can make rent.
Put differently, a large number of landlords are so horrendously shitty they will extract wealth at any cost—moral or otherwise.

It’s funny how “centrists” immediately say an issue is “nuanced” or “complex” when responses to that issue threaten the status quo. And, their “nuanced” takes on these issues always stop short of advocating any tangible change. It’s funny because that’s not centrism. That’s just conservatism.

I would love it if my pasty-ass people became known as a bunch of empathetic militant socialists who are resistant to racist and fascist fear mongering. Way better than being known for lutefisk and social awkwardness.
Chris Rufo is so upset about the Minneapolis protests that he is resorting to anti-Nordic racism christopherrufo.com/p/the-curse-...

Meal kit portions are absurd. My family of four is on a plan that's supposedly for "2" people. I know I live in the United States and all, but dang.

Think I might fuck around and show some genuine care and compassion for other human beings—especially those less fortunate than me.

Funny how “love thy neighbor” is central to pluralistic and antifascist societies, and becomes an activist position when Christian nationalists and their fascist buddies take over. One might even say that Jesus’s message is incompatible with Christian nationalism and fascism.
Caring about your neighbors makes you an activist these days. What the fuck is wrong with this country such that basic human decency is a political position?

If anyone needs a break from the horrors, I’m presenting my Beer Sans Beards talk this evening at Nerd Nite MPLS (Eat Street Crossing—doors 5:30, presentations start at 6:15). Come activate your inner goddess and commune with the divine feminine essence of brewing.

My husband stopped, in the middle of putting on her makeup, to go get me a protein bar and a drink because I have a headache and didn’t want to get up. 💜
Not gay as in “happy,” but queer as in “my wife is the best husband anyone could ever ask for.”
