He/him. Het, not always the cis-iest.
Hard books, dark music, sportsball, MPLS, left politics, cats, occasional fitness, nail polish.

I have two words for the national Democrats.

Well, those would work, yes.
But also.
Opposition. Party.

The other side gets it.

'Standing up doesn't work' and other milquetoastery mealy-mouthed quislingisms are NOT the message for this era.

Did literally barely enough to win.
Do enjoy Sparty grit, though.
Not excited to play Fetch next week. Have to be much better. #Hawkeyes
These are our #Hawkeyes this season. Sometimes close, but really it’s never enough…

It's never enough
Never enough
Never enough

Wait did he catch that!!!!

I’ll let y’all know.
Squash is in the mix. Has not been my favorite in situations past. I have faith in Zanadu.
The things we do for love.

I am not eating these for many many reasons. They are so much not for me. Nope.

My 401k was about to run out and I could type fast. Plus I knew the owner’s brother was an NFL assistant (later head) coach.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Go to grad school for English (help a near-senior citizen out, @umnenglish.bsky.social?) and then teach the Romantics. This could happen before or after I ‘drop out’ of my current work life. I rarely get work calls during a given week.
What's your absolutely unworkable plan to drop out of your current life (or at least work life) and do something completely different?

Inept.
I haven’t seen much of that in my fandom. But today’s 90-plus minutes was just inept, in all phases.
I know there’s injury.
But the opponent was in relegation and didn’t even have to play its manager’s usual style. It was concise and coherent.
Us? Inept. Incoherent. Not a team mentality. #LFC

Book 193 📚 for 2025. Hard for me to believe sometimes that 1999 was his 5th album, that BrownMark and Lisa hadn't always been in the band, & there were problems with the chemistry at the height of Purple Rain. This book lays it all out. Available everywhere, including your local library. #LocalAngle
