Today is the 5 year anniversary to when I slowly started losing my mind during the pandemic and began dressing up as works of art.
As my Twitter account has long been abandoned, why not make a thread of my madness on BlueSky?

I wish our office (back when everyone worked in an office) had that! It would have been so much fun!

I was out w/ a friend tonight and she got me a Valentine card and a candy necklace!
It made me realize how much I miss Valentine’s Day as a kid.
Assembling valentines and candy for all my classmates. Seeing what I got in return.
I wish there was an adult version of that beyond the romantic stuff.

Yep. I don’t need team building, I want value and respect from leadership. That goes a million miles farther than sharing your favorite winter activity.

I wish my managers would stop trying to force us into team building.
Division wellness challenge!
Morning coffee break Teams meeting!
Drop in lunch hour!
I don’t need social time with random staff. I would like resources to do my job. I would like management to include us in decision making.

Does Minneapolis have a system like this? It seems like that would be kind of expensive to have to print new no parking signs every single year cause the weeks will be changing. But maybe that’s just how it works in cities?

Exactly. That’s what I would have argued if I went to court, but with *gestures wildly at everything* I really didn’t want the stress of having to do that 🫠

Yes! Especially when I’ve parked on that exact street many times before.

I’ll bet! I did not see any signs where I parked. While I’m sure there might be some in the general area, it’s not like people are gonna drive around a neighborhood looking for parking rules. If there’s a spot and no signage (especially with a dozen other cars also parking there), you park!

Do you park around Snelling/University or Selby/Dale in the winter? Were you also not privy to this pilot winter parking restriction rule? Here’s a pro tip from someone who doesn’t pay enough attention (might save you a $60 ticket!): www.stpaul.gov/news/saint-p...
Saint Paul Declares Special Winter Alternate Side Parking Rules in Two Pilot Areas
Public Works will pilot a second year of weekly alternate side parking in two small areas beginning January 4

UPDATE: He was just released. This shows that just indiscriminately took someone because they were Latino. Their illegal tactics continue so we still need neighbors to patrol, observe, and support our immigrant community.
Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Another way to phrase this is, “ICE shot someone and got caught lying about it.”
