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.

Just saw a Reddit thread where a bunch of folks were complaining that Will’s coming out scene in Stranger Things should have had at least one character rejecting him and calling him a slur “for accuracy” given the late-80s Indiana setting.
And guys, wtf?

Why is all the gothy nonsense for women made for shorties (people under 178 cm/5’10”)? I don’t care if I’m wearing “age-appropriate” clothing, or if people respect me, but I do care about whether my sleeves are long enough.

We’ve had one, yes… but what about second Christmas dinner?

Strongly recommend sitting in a hot bath with the lights off and The Cure’s Pornography playing start to finish. I think it counts as therapy.

I love so much about Minneapolis, but I swear to god if we don’t figure out A) green chile, and B) queso soon, I will scream.

Every once and awhile this Charles Schultz letter pops up on social media. It is always worth reposting.

I made @lauragmitchell.com a cheesecake before going out to dinner and making a “quick” stop at a friend’s party while it cooled in the oven. Figured we’d be back in time food safety-wise. But, we got home late and had to go to the store for more ingredients to make another before bed 😅.

Dem strategists are wringing their hands over Medicaid bans on trans healthcare, meanwhile “everyone gets the boobs or chest of their dreams paid for by Uncle Sam” would win them majorities in every legislature nationwide.

Proud to have @ag.state.mn.us as my AG right now.
I am committed to vigorously defending Minnesota’s medical providers who do incredible work to treat and care for all Minnesotans, including our trans neighbors. I have already taken the Trump Admin to court to stop them from scapegoating the trans community. I will not hesitate to do so again.

I get that it's inconvenient in a capitalist society, but I think it's incredibly normal to only be effective seasonally. Nothing disordered about that at all.

Periodic reminder that the Minneapolis venue that began its life being used by the Minnesota National Guard, eventually became the home of the Minneapolis Lakers, and which later became a parking garage, is not called "The Armory." It is clearly The EARMORYE. It's right there in the logo.

Republicans voting against the felony national trans youth healthcare ban were Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), Gabe Evans (CO), Michael Lawler (NY), Mike Kennedy (UT).
Dems voting FOR the felony ban were Henry Cueller (TX), Vincente Gonzalez (TX), Don Davis (NC).
3 NVs on both sides.

Can we stop anti-trans bills in the Senate?
Absolutely.
We stopped a sports ban, we stripped bad provisions out of the OBBB and a number of other bills. There's no reason we can't stop these care bans too.
But we will need to call, and engage and make sure folks know this is a priority.
Forward.

Haunted Houses are always all “Fear Factory - Assemble the Pain!” Meanwhile, true terror is being a woman driving out to Blaine to buy something related to your hobby from a white man in his 60s. Jump scares? Fuck that. Try the slow-moving inevitability of getting mansplained by a creeper.

Germanic languages are objectively the silliest languages. "I love you," "Ich liebe dich," "Ik houd van jou," "Jeg elsker dig," "Jeg elsker deg," "Jag älskar dig." C'mon. We're just fucking around here—especially in Scandinavia. My god (Mein Gott, Mijn god, Min Gud, Min gud, Min gud).

Vegetarians of Minneapolis: Cheba Hut is very good. Tried two sandwiches (A-Train and Griefo) and both were great. Nothing like the “salad on bread” attempts of other sandwich shops.

I don't know if this is true, or I'm just really gay, but I feel like there are fewer red flags with women than men, and red flags with men are often green flags with women.
Ex: Wearing a scarf and reading a big ass philosophy book in a cafe. Man: Red flag. Pretentious. Woman: Alluring. Green flag.

Everyone should aspire to taking a bath so hot and relaxing that your partner sees you and asks if you’re alright.
Yes, I’m fine, it’s just that all the tension has melted from my body and I’m having a Mary Oliver moment.

MPD will say that in these situations they aren’t “assisting” ICE. But the fact of the matter is that their vision of “public safety” entails preventing folks from interfering with ICE operations. This might theoretically reduce violence against protestors, but only because *it helps ICE.*
Disheartening to see federal agents take two neighbors on 29th & Pillsbury. Chemical irritants were used on observers by them.
MPD showed up on scene, created a pathway for these federal agents to kidnap our neighbors, and assisted with controlling the space. Disappointing and heartbreaking.
