Did you know that you can just read all the previously accepted unicode emoji proposals on unicode consortium's website?

My favorites so far are the ones with bio section at the end where they are "an emoji enthusiast"

Caught my first walleye today. I can finally say I'm fully Minnesotan now right?

(It was just a little'un, so didn't want to keep it out of water long enough to take a pic)

Transgender people are owed a retraction and apology from @wsj.com. The lie has already become canon to millions and it seems the least they could do.

Mayor Frey didn’t have the votes for the Dem endorsement, so he declared the whole process ILLEGAL SHAM STOP THE STEAL and got the endorsement revoked on threat of big donors revoking their checks.

Money shouldn’t be able to overturn the will of the people. I donated to Omar Fateh’s campaign today.

Mayor Frey is the most corrupt mayor in modern Minnesota history.
Lisa Goodman, on the "All of Mpls" (Frey PAC) call: "I'm holding checks from a lot of people who contributed to this multi-candidate expenditure" in Ward 7 to support DFL endorsed candidate Elizabeth Shaffer. Says those checks will be withheld unless Fateh's DFL endorsement for mayor is overturned.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

You may not feel it, but the ground beneath you may be sinking.

In fact, the surface of California’s Central Valley is nearly 30 vertical feet lower than it was a century ago.

Why is this happening? Because our planet is rapidly drying. THREAD/

@startribune.com Can someone explain why this caption was included in an article that had ZERO to do with bike infrastructure cost, taxes, etc? The article is about ranking bikeability. Is Carol B now writing copy for you?

This is why I get so angry at the Times and what they're doing. This isn't journalism, it's political maneuvering to target a minority group. It's the aiding and abetting of a fascist agenda to eradicate trans people from society.

My 80 year old dad is so upset about the way protestors are being attacked so we got into a conversation about defunding the police & I sent him this piece by @prisonculture.bsky.social. Realized others might want to revisit it too. www.nytimes.com/2020/06/12/o...

I read the whole report on youth gender medicine out of Utah and found so much more there than the headline, which is that a report commissioned to look into the evidence on youth gender medicine found hormone therapy and puberty blockers are safe and effective.

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.
