i only really like to flex my family’s unfortunate 250 year settler colonial legacy to scold other white people when they’re being ridiculous and unfortunately i am given ample opportunity to do so in this town
i’m a fourth generation Northeast Minneapolitan and i have never once in my life parked *on* Central Avenue, anyone saying they *need* parking on Central is being silly

I don’t actually care about thanksgiving but whenever people start insulting turkey’s inherent qualities as a food I always get a little Indigenously indignant. Oh sure, say more about how your European chickens are so superior to our Indigenous turkeys 🙄😂

If each of my followers gave just 50 cents, we’d hit our goal. But that’s super inefficient so maybe some of you could give like $3 or $10 or $20 instead?

Bones & Basil remind me of my beloved Max & Zak, who we brought home under similar circumstances in Chicago back in 1998.
Their person was devastated to part with them, but they lived for many years with us, until each died of old age, and were the sweetest pair ever. #Caturday

Democrats are leaning into the meme war because they think if they win in culture, they don’t have to win in policy—and no one will notice.
I’m gonna use that. I’m writing it down so I don’t forget.

I hate the meme culture as it often creates humor out of even dire situations, thereby drowning out its urgency. I think as time goes on, the overconsumption of memes end up rendering the human minds numb to atrocities. To me it's a very unhealthy and regressive coping mechanism.

i've been warning about this since the late 2000s when it became clear that venture capital was not only not concerned with growing functional businesses, but that they actually refused to invest in anything that was actually profitable
businesses used to need to be useful & make money

Like many things in tech, what tech “disruption” has actually disrupted are the reality-correction mechanisms that cause other kinds of productive activities to fail and need to be corrected, and that applies to everything from information security, to infra reliability, to harmful business models.

They want slaves & they're gonna use criminalization & poverty to achieve it all.
Tank jobs, criminalize debt (esp medical debt), create more homeless folks, buy up all the housing w/ big firms, fill prisons & work camps... Maybe if you're privileged you'll get a company town w/ a housing "perk."
